Address for Correspondence: Dr. M.Gayathri, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Govt.Dharmapuri Medical College, Dharmapuri – 636701 Tamilnadu, India. Phone :7094743688 E-Mail: gayathriprabu5@gmail.com Introduction: Awareness of anatomical variations in lungs is essential during segmental or lobar resections of lungs. Hence the proposed aim of the study was to study the fissures and lobes of the lungs and their variations and to compare them with previous studies and to find their clinical implications. Materials and Method: Seventy lungs obtained from cadavers in the department of anatomy, Govt Dharmapuri Medical College were used for study. Any variation in the fissures and lobes of the lungs and accessory fissure were studied. Result: Out of seventy lungs studied, 32 were from right side and 38 were from left side. Out of 32 right lungs examined, the horizontal fissure was absent in 4 lungs (12.5%), incomplete in 10 lungs (31.25%), Complete in 18 lungs (56.25%). Oblique fissure was incomplete in 5 lungs (16%) and complete in 27 lungs (84%). Out of 38 left lungs, the oblique fissure was incomplete in 8 lungs (21%), complete in 30 lungs (79%) and accessory fissure in 5 lungs. Conclusion: Knowledge of such variations will be helpful to the radiologists, clinicians to make correct diagnosis and plan for the surgical procedure. This will help to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with lung surgeries.
