error

"Intrahepatic bile ducts "

Line 4:1 · Never put spaces at either end of headings.

Optional Plurals

error

"The left and right hepatic ducts unite to form the common hepatic duct (CHD). Bile duct(s) from segment 1 (caudate lobe) drain into the angle of this union."

Line 12:104 · Do not use plurals in parentheses such as in 'duct(s)'.

Prefix Hyphens

warning

"By convention the biliary tree is divided into intra- and extra-hepatic bile ducts ¹. There is significant variation in the anatomy of the biliary tree with the classical description below thought to be present in ~60% of the population ²."

Line 3:62 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'extra-hepatic'.

Emphasis

warning

"Bile canaliculi unite to form segmental bile ducts which drain each liver segment. The segmental ducts then combine to form sectoral ducts with the following pattern ⁵:"

Line 5:54 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: ' '

Strong

warning

"segments 6 and 7: right posterior sectoral duct (RPSD), coursing more horizontally"

Line 7:26 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'right posterior sectoral duct (RPSD)'

"segments 5 and 8: right anterior sectoral duct (RASD), coursing more vertically"

Line 8:26 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'right anterior sectoral duct (RASD)'

"right posterior and anterior sectoral ducts unite to form the right hepatic duct (RHD)"

Line 9:70 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'right hepatic duct (RHD)'

"segmental bile ducts from 2, 3, 4a and 4b unite to form the left hepatic duct (LHD)"

Line 10:67 · Generally, don't use bold in text: ' left hepatic duct (LHD)'

"The left and right hepatic ducts unite to form the common hepatic duct (CHD). Bile duct(s) from segment 1 (caudate lobe) drain into the angle of this union."

Line 12:55 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'common hepatic duct (CHD)'

"right posterior sectoral duct draining into LHD ~15% (range 13-19%)"

Line 21:8 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'right posterior sectoral duct draining into LHD ~15% (range 13-19'

"By convention the biliary tree is divided into intra- and extra-hepatic bile ducts ¹. There is significant variation in the anatomy of the biliary tree with the classical description below thought to be present in ~60% of the population ²."

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"segmental bile ducts from 2, 3, 4a and 4b unite to form the left hepatic duct (LHD)"

Line 10:37 · Use the Oxford comma in '3, 4a and 4b'.

""triple confluence": union of RPSD, RASD and LHD to form CHD ~11%"

Line 24:38 · Use the Oxford comma in 'RPSD, RASD and LHD'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"The ducts of the left hepatic lobe are more anterior than those of the right lobe; it is important particularly when contrast cholangiogram is performed because contrast may not opacify non-dependent ducts ³."

Line 13:85 · Use semicolons judiciously.
