In human anatomy, the falciform ligament (from Latin 'sickle-shaped') is a ligament that attaches the liver to the front body wall and divides the liver into the left lobe and right lobe. (wikipedia.org)
Anatomically, the liver is divided into a larger right lobe and a smaller left lobe by the falciform ligament (see the image below). (medscape.com)
Ligamentum4
Most CCMT are believed to originate from falciform ligament/ligamentum teres. (nih.gov)
The ligamentum teres, also known as the round ligament of the liver, is a remnant of the fetal umbilical vein. (proprofs.com)
The ligamentum teres hepatis turns around the inferior marging of the liver to come out ventral in the falciform ligament. (bigbangpokemon.com)

Liver13
The falciform ligament stretches obliquely from the front to the back of the abdomen, with one surface in contact with the peritoneum behind the right rectus abdominis muscle and the diaphragm, and the other in contact with the left lobe of the liver. (wikipedia.org)
The umbilical vein of the fetus gives rise to the round ligament of liver in the adult, which is found in the free border of the falciform ligament. (wikipedia.org)
This ligament is a band of tissue that keeps the liver anchored to the diaphragm. (medicalnewstoday.com)
The software analysis of liver echogenicity and falciform ligament and histogram generation proved to be a useful and easy method for predicting the presence of fat in the liver, however the small number of animals in which this method was tested did not allow in this research the establishment of index that could indicate the degree of hepatic steatosis in the animals. (usp.br)
There are different ligaments that are connected to the liver and are covered with the double layer of the peritoneum. (mavlifenews.com)
This ligament helps in attaching the anterior surface of the liver to the abdominal wall of the inferior part. (mavlifenews.com)
This ligament separates the bare area of the liver and the posterior and superior folds end together to form triangular ligaments which are the right and left lobes of the liver. (mavlifenews.com)
This ligament helps in attaching the liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach and also the first part of the duodenum. (mavlifenews.com)
It consists of parts like the hepatogastric ligament which extends from the stomach to the liver, Hepatodudenal ligament which runs from the stomach to the liver. (mavlifenews.com)
Which two lobes of the liver are separated by the falciform ligament? (bigbangpokemon.com)
the portion between the gut and the liver is called the lesser omentum, the portion between the liver and the ventral body wall is called the falciform ligament. (ehd.org)
The lesser curvature is directed towards the liver, and corresponds to the line along which a fold of peritoneum called the hepato-gastric ligament is attached to the stomach, between the pyloric and œsophageal orifices (Fig. 916). (co.ma)
The falciform ligament is located on the anterior surface of the liver and divides it into the left anatomic lobe and the right anatomic lobe. (sagepub.com)
A common misconception is that the falciform ligament separates the two lobes. (bigbangpokemon.com)

Spleen1
In clinics without ultrasonography equipment, 4-quadrant abdominocentesis can be performed if the falciform ligament, which will block the needle, and spleen are avoided. (cliniciansbrief.com)
Inferior1
The surgeon should consider dividing the inferior leaf of the free edge of the falciform ligament, including the round ligament, should an aperture be created during laparoscopic port placement. (sages.org)
Hernia5
The occurrence of an internal hernia through a congenital or iatrogenic defect in the falciform ligament is extremely rare. (sages.org)
The cause of the hernia was due to an epigastric port that went through both sides of the falciform ligament at the time of initial surgery. (sages.org)
Patient underwent division of falciform ligament and reduction of the hernia and had an uncomplicated recovery. (sages.org)

Lesser omentum3
the portal vein, hepatic artery and bile duct course through the edge of the lesser omentum, the umbilical vein passes through the edge of the falciform ligament. (ehd.org)
Mesenteries (also falciform ligament and greater/lesser omentum, mesocolons [pgs. (galeps.org)
It contains the common hepatic duct (CHD) in front and to the right, the proper hepatic artery in front and to the left, and the portal vein behind, enclosed in the hepatoduodenal ligament (HDL), composed of 2 layers of lesser omentum. (medscape.com)
Hepatic vein1
The effectiveness of the weight loss program of the animals evaluated in the obese group led to a reduction in body condition score, but there was no relationship with right hepatic vein visibility and diameter, falciform ligament thickness, serum alkaline phosphatase concentrations (AF) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and systolic blood pressure.

Torsion2
Fatty Falciform Ligament Appendage Torsion: Diagnosis and Management in a Pediatric Patient. (abstractarchives.com)
Fatty falciform ligament appendage torsion (FFLAT) is a rare phenomenon as there are only two reported pediatric cases of falciform ligament fatty appendage torsion in the literature. (abstractarchives.com)
Tumor1
The tumor (9 x 7.5 x 7 cm) was a firm, tan-gray mass with heavily dark pigmentation, massive hemorrhage, and necrosis, and was located in the right broad ligament attached to the right ovary. (nih.gov)
Peritoneum2
The falciform ligament is a broad and thin fold of peritoneum, its base being directed downward and backward and its apex upward and forward. (wikipedia.org)
they have double layers of peritoneum within them as mesenteries and ligaments (see the images below). (medscape.com)
Obliquely1
Twenty percent of patients have a prominent accessory or variant left hepatic artery arising from the left gastric artery and coursing obliquely upward to the right within the gastrohepatic ligament. (sls.org)

Small subcapsular triangular region of reduced hepatic attenuation adjacent to the falciform ligament represents focal fatty infiltration. (radiopaedia.org)
Duodenum1
In 1946, Waugh and Clagett described a formal en-bloc resection of the gallbladder with the common bile duct (CBD), gastric antrum, duodenum, and head of pancreas performed as a one-stage procedure, which we recognize today as the classic pancreaticoduodenectomy. (medscape.com)
Retroperitoneal1

Abdomen2
Entrance to the abdomen is accomplished and the falciform ligament removed by excision along its lateral attachments to the abdominal wall and ligation at its cranial aspect. (dvm360.com)
Falciform excision is elective, however visualization and surgery, especially of the cranial abdomen is enhanced. (dvm360.com)
Broad1

US showed an echogenic, ill-defined mass in the epigastric region that extending into the falciform ligament. (abstractarchives.com)

Conclusion: Prevention of superior PFC and falciform ligament wrapping may reduce PA occurrence after PD with clinically relevant POPF. (nii.ac.jp)
In addition, closure of the abdominal wall at the conclusion of the celiotomy is also eased by falciform excision. (dvm360.com)
Attachment1
The division is made by the attachment of the falciform ligament. (healthline.com)
