The bare area of the liver is a part of the liver on the diaphragmatic surface where there is no intervening peritoneum between the liver and the diaphragm (Fig. 4.105):
The anterior boundary of the bare area is indicated by a reflection of peritoneum—the anterior coronary ligament.
The posterior boundary of the bare area is indicated by a reflection of peritoneum—the posterior coronary ligament.
Where the coronary ligaments come together laterally, they form the right and left triangular ligaments.
