What ligaments connect the liver?

The vessels that communicate between the liver and adjacent structures require bridges between them. The bridges comprise the ligaments of the liver as follows: the falciform ligament, right and left coronary ligaments, lesser omentum including the hepatogastric ligament and hepatoduodenal ligament.

The falciform ligament derives from the ventral mesentery, which is a part of the embryological foregut and forms a connection between the ventral abdominal wall and the liver. After birth, the umbilical vein remnant forms the round ligament of the liver, which in adults, contains paraumbilical veins.

How do you mobilize your liver?

Liver mobilization involves dissection of ligamentous attachments between the liver, retroperitoneum, diaphragm, IVC, and other organs such as the stomach and adrenal glands. Mobilization from the IVC requires careful division of short hepatic veins and the right inferior hepatic vein.

What causes falciform ligament?
