About this trial
Rouvière's sulcus is a 2-5 cm fissure lying on the lower face of the liver, between the right lobe and caudate process. Due to its extrabiliary location, Rouvière's Sulcus could be used as an anatomical landmark for safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In literature there's an high variability about Rouvière Sulcus prevalence and its anatomical variants.
