Transhepatice

Transhepatice is a term that appears only rarely in medical and scholarly texts and is not part of standard modern nomenclature. In most uses it is treated as a neologism or a Latinized descriptor meaning “across the liver,” derived from trans- (across) and hepat- (liver), with a suffix that resembles Latin adjectival formations. Because there is no widely accepted definition, the exact sense of transhepatice depends on the context in which it is used.

In anatomical or clinical discussions, someone might employ transhepatice to refer to pathways, routes, or processes that traverse hepatic tissue. However, established terminology generally uses explicit phrases such as transhepatic or transhepatic access to describe these concepts. For example, procedures like percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography or biliary drainage rely on the standard term transhepatic rather than the less common transhepatice.

The lack of standardization means transhepatice can be confusing or ambiguous if encountered in literature. When precision is required, it is advisable to use widely recognized terms (such as transhepatic) and to provide a clear definition within the text.
