Abstract    Ligamentum teres hepatis(LTH), as a normal anatomical tissue of the liver in the human body, is often seen in abdominal surgery. Due to its unique location, high histocompatibility, vascular properties, potential communication with the portal vein, and similar structure to the bile duct, so it has many applications and potential new uses in clinical practice, especially in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery, such as it may be used to venous reconstruction, bile duct reconstruction, strengthen the pancreaticojejunostomotic/bilioenteric stoma to prevent pancreatic/bile leakage, repair the gastrointestinal perforation, prevent the wound bleeding, treat the esophageal hiatal hernia, intubation and shunt with LTH, etc. Thanks to its properties, more applications of LTH have been gradually discovered in recent years and have achieved satisfactory clinical benefits. However, its application efficacy needs more prospective studies to further confirm it to facilitate its broader utilization in the clinic. This may help to improve the safety of related surgery, reduce postoperative complications, and aid in patients' postoperative recovery.
