ABSTRACT
Background: The aim is to study the dimensions of the adult liver in Senegal in order to contribute to the data of the manufacture of a peri-hepatic prosthesis wrapping in the therapeutic means of post-traumatic hemorrhagic lesions of the liver.
Materials and methods: This study involved 50 livers of anatomical subjects with an average age of 38 years. We have noted some biometric parameters. On the livers collected, we measured the weight and some dimensions.
Results: The intermediate morphotype predomined with 48% of cases. The dorso-petal position of the liver was observed in 84% of the subjects. There was no correlation between the morphotype of the subjects and the orientation of the visceral face of the liver. The average liver weight was 1410 g. The average transverse diameter was 25.77cm while the antero-posterior diameter of the right lobe was 16 cm. The sagittal circumference of the liver in the sickle cell ligament was significantly lower than those measured at the right and left lobes. The sagittal circumferences of the liver in the Breviligneous subject were lower than those of the intermediate and long morphotype subjects.
Conclusion: The choke zone between the two lobes of the liver in the sickle cell ligament is a mooring point for the peri-hepatic wrapping prosthesis. However, this can only be segmental for each right and left lobe. The morphotype of the subject, however, affects the weight, thickness and sagittal circumferences of the liver, which are essential for the dimensions of a peri-hepatic prosthesis.
Key words: Liver morphometric, peri-hepatic prosthesis.
