Question

Cholecystocaval line separates:

• A. Right & Left liver lobe
• B. Liver with Gall Bladder
• C. Right Lobe of Liver with Gall Bladder
• D. Left Lobe of Liver with Gall Bladder

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Cholecystocaval line is an anatomical reference used in identifying the separation between different lobes of the liver. In the context of liver anatomy, it is important to understand how lobes are demarcated for both clinical and educational purposes.

The liver is traditionally divided into two primary lobes: the right lobe and the left lobe. Anatomically, the separation of these lobes is significant for surgical procedures, understanding of liver function, and pathological assessments.

The Cholecystocaval line is an imaginary line used to delineate or separate the right and left lobes of the liver. This line is part of several landmarks that are utilized to define hepatic segments as per the Couinaud classification, which is widely accepted in medical practice.

Given the options:

Options	Description
Right & Left liver lobe	The correct division, as indicated by the Cholecystocaval line.
Liver with Gall Bladder	Not applicable as it does not define lobe separation.
Right Lobe of Liver with Gall Bladder	Incorrect as it does not involve separating lobes.
Left Lobe of Liver with Gall Bladder	Incorrect as it does not involve separating lobes.

Therefore, the Cholecystocaval line separates the Right & Left liver lobe.
