Vascular anomalies in the pancreas crucially impact surgical outcomes, affecting procedures like pancreaticoduodenectomy and transplantation.
Key arteries such as the dorsal pancreatic artery and the gastrocolic trunk play significant roles in the vascular architecture of the pancreas.
Assessment using advanced imaging techniques like MDCT and MRA helps map vascular variations, ensuring safer surgical planning.
Recognition of these anatomical variations is essential for the multidisciplinary team approach, enhancing collaboration between surgeons and radiologists.
