Fr-En: convergence biliaire

[Guest guest]

Dear colleagues,

I was wondering if someone could provide me with the English equivalent of

" convergence biliaire " and if they could confirm if this is the joining of the

right and left hepatic ducts, or the merging of the common hepatic duct with the

cystic duct.

Any help would be appreciated in sorting this out; the context is endocrine

tumours of the " convergence biliaire " .

Thanks in advance,

Debbie

Hello Debbie,

Yes, it is the confluence of the left and right hepatic ducts at the

hilum.

Have a look at the Bismuth-Corlette classification.
