Hepatoduodenal ligament

Latin
  
ligamentum hepatoduodenale

The hepatoduodenal ligament is the portion of the lesser omentum extending between the porta hepatis of the liver and the superior part of the duodenum.

Running inside it are the following structures collectively known as the portal triad:

  • hepatic artery proper
  • portal vein
  • common bile duct
  • Manual compression of the hepatoduodenal ligament during surgery is known as the Pringle Maneuver.
