Cadaveric study on the presence of grooves/fissures on diaphragmatic surface of liver in north Indian population

Background: The liver is a unique organ with many distinct anatomical and physiological characteristics. It is a major gland in the human body, wedge-shaped, and situated beneath the right dome of the diaphragm. Its diaphragmatic surface is normally smooth, however it may be grooved at times. These grooves vary in size and shape, and their number, form, and size can range from one to numerous. Material & Methods: In Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad, the study was conducted on 100 liver specimens. All the specimens are preserved in the 10% formaldehyde in formalin tanks. The diaphragmatic surface of all the livers was thoroughly examined for the existence of grooves/fissures/notches/sulci, and the observations were noted and images were taken.
