Due to the similarities to human anatomy the domestic swine is one of the most preferred species for experiments especially in developing new surgical techniques in the cholecystectomy in humans. The aim of the study was to establish the existence of both the Calot`s triangle and the hepatocystic triangle and the length of their borders in the domestic pigs. This research work was conducted on livers from 30 male pigs separated to different age groups. The results showed that Calot`s triangle -and the hepatocystic triangle-like areas were present. The borders of the triangles were identified, measured and statistically analyzed in immature and mature pigs and age dependent differences were identified. The similarities and differences in borders of triangles between pigs and humans were discussed. This study revealed that, like in humans, the Calot`s triangle and the hepatocystic triangle are presented and have important clinical significance.
