The cystohepatic triangle (or hepatobiliary triangle or Calot's triangle) is an anatomic space bordered by the cystic duct laterally, the common hepatic duct medially, and the inferior surface of the liver superiorly.
The cystic artery lies within the hepatobiliary triangle. The triangle is used to locate the cystic artery during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
