Description:
Calot's triangle is an aid in correct identification of the structures in the porta hepatis, in cholecystectomy.
Nowadays, it is considered to be the triangle formed by the common hepatic duct, the cystic duct and the lower border of the liver.
The cystic artery is then found within the triangle.
Originally, in Calot's description, the cystic artery was the third side of the triangle, instead of the lower border of the liver.
