Abstract

One of the most common surgical procedures performed in the USA is the cholecystectomy. Understanding biliary anatomy, which includes the gallbladder and extrahepatic biliary tree, is essential for every general surgeon. This quiz includes clinically relevant anatomy and radiology questions for the current and future surgeon at every level of training, and we hope it will be a useful adjunct to one’s review.
