Abstract

The embryology and anatomy as well as the variations and abnormalities of the biliary system are briefly reviewed. Emphasis is placed upon the intimate anatomical relationship between extrahepatic bile duct, gallbladder, head of the pancreas and its vascular supply. The variations and abnormalities of the biliary system relevant to the endoscopist and surgeon are stressed.
