Determine the surgical significance and clinical risk posed by caterpillar hump variations of the right hepatic artery within Calot's triangle during cholecystectomy.
Systematic literature review evaluating anatomical anomalies of the cystic artery and right hepatic artery in the hepatobiliary triangle.
An aberrant tortuous loop of the right hepatic artery within Calot's triangle creates unexpected vascular anatomy that markedly increases the risk of uncontrolled intraoperative bleeding.
Implementation of standardized Culture of Safety in Cholecystectomy practices is essential when encountering multiple structures within the hepatobiliary triangle to avoid inadvertent arterial transection.
