The Left triangular ligament (Ligamentum triangulare sinistrum) is a part of the human anatomy. It is one of the two triangular ligaments of the liver, the other being the right triangular ligament.
Anatomy[edit]
The left triangular ligament is located at the superior part of the liver, attaching it to the diaphragm and the anterior abdominal wall. It is formed by the reflection of the coronary ligament, a part of the lesser omentum.
Function[edit]
The main function of the left triangular ligament is to help stabilize the position of the liver within the abdominal cavity. It prevents the liver from moving excessively during body movements.
Clinical significance[edit]
In surgical procedures involving the liver, the left triangular ligament may need to be cut to allow for better access to the liver. This is typically done in liver resections or transplantations.
