dc.description.abstractRouvière's sulcus (RS) is increasingly being recognized as an important extra-biliary landmark during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic analysis of the prevalence and morphological types of RS. A systematic search was conducted through the major databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), SciELO, and the Cochrane Library to identify studies eligible for inclusion. The data were extracted and pooled into a random-effects meta-analysis using STATA software. The primary and secondary outcomes of the study were the pooled prevalence of RS and its morphological types, respectively. A total of 23 studies (n = 4,495 patients) were included. The overall pooled prevalence of RS was 83% (95% confidence interval [CI] [78, 87]). There were no significant differences in prevalence between cadaveric studies (82%, 95% CI [76, 87]) and laparoscopic studies (83%, 95% CI [77, 88]). The open RS constituted 66% (95% CI [61, 71]) of all cases, while the closed type was present in 34% (95% CI [29, 39]). RS is a relatively constant anatomical structure that can be reliably identified in most patients undergoing cholecystectomy. It can therefore be used as a fixed extra-biliary landmark for the appropriate site at which to start dissecting during LC to help prevent iatrogenic bile duct injury.en_US
