| Abstract | Objective: To assess the frequency of biliary tree variants of potential liver donors presented to King Hussein Medical Center. Methods: This is a retrospective study done at KHMC on 120 patients aged between 20-45 years presented to KHMC as potential liver donors , MRCP was performed as part of their preoperative evaluation , studies were reviewed by radiologists and results analyzed using simple statistical methods . Results: Of the 120 donors 82 had normal biliary tree anatomy (type I). 21 had anatomical variation which is around 31% .the most common anomaly was type III followed by type II then the other rare variants that will be discussed in details later. Conclusion: Biliary tree anatomy may have a lot of variation that may interfere with liver transplant surgeries and this made preoperative evaluation of biliary tree a mandatory step . MRCP proved to be highly sensitive and dependable way of assessment of biliary tree The commonest anomalies were type III followed by Type II |
