Table 1 LVD and LVA values for individual layers of the wall of the gallbladder (mean ± SD, n = 12)

Layer of the wall of thegallbladder	LVD(per mm²)	P value^a	LVA (%)	P value^a
Mucosa	16.1 ± 9.2	< 0.001^b	0.4 ± 0.4	< 0.001^b
Muscle layer	35.4 ± 15.7		2.1 ± 1.1
Perimuscular connective tissue	65.5 ± 12.2		9.4 ± 2.6

LVD: lymphatic vessel density; LVA: relative lymphatic vessel are;

^aKruskal-Wallis test,

^bP < 0.001 between mucosa, muscle and perimuscular connective tissue of the gallbladder for both LVD and LVA.
