Abstract
Since prevention of injury is of paramount importance, a thorough familiarity with the anatomy and related research methodologies of the biliary system is essential. The technologies developed to produce both physical and virtual three-dimensional (3D) modelling have greatly enhanced the learning process and contribute significantly to patient safety.
