Correlative Study of Gall Bladder with Liver in South Indian Cadavers

78 non-pathological Gall Bladders and Livers were studied morphometrically. The length and breadth of GB was compared with that of the respective liver. The measurements were taken by measuring Tape. Morphologically Normal (Pyriform) GBs were 53.2%, cylindrical 11.4%, oval shaped 11.4%, partially intra hepatic 5.1%, intra hepatic 3.8%, hour glass 6.3%, phrygian cap 3.8%, double GB 1.3%, left sided 2.5%. Metrically length and breadth of GB was highly significant (p<0.01). Correlative coefficient values between length of GB and length of Liver was +0.356 and p value was highly significant (p<0.01). Similarly breadth of GB and breadth of Liver correlative coefficient was +0.242 and p value was significant (p<0.05). By these values of GB we can explore the length and breadth of liver. Hence physiological liver can be differentiated from pathological liver (hepatomegaly) especially during the liver transplantation. This study will certainly help anatomists, anthropologists and medico legal experts to compare the south Indian GB and Liver with that of other parts of the country and abroad. Moreover to radiologists and laparoscopic surgeons during cholecystectomy and liver transplantation.
