Variations in the Inter-lobar Fissures of Lungs Obtained from Cadavers of South Indian Origin

The proposed aim of the study was to elucidate the variations of the lung fissures and to correlate their importance in clinics. The study was conducted on 48 lung specimens, 30 right and 18 left, obtained from the cadavers of South Indian origin. Among the right-sided lungs, 2 specimens showed abse...
