Regional drainage pattern and spatial arrangement of pancreatic ducts in the head and uncinate process of the pancreas: A cadaveric study from India

Introduction: The anatomy of pancreas has remained a subject of interest to surgeons because of emerging organ preserving surgical procedures and also because of pancreatic tumors like intraductal papillary mucin neoplasm (IPMNS) which spread along the branches of main pancreatic duct (MPD), particu...

Summary:Introduction: The anatomy of pancreas has remained a subject of interest to surgeons because of emerging organ preserving surgical procedures and also because of pancreatic tumors like intraductal papillary mucin neoplasm (IPMNS) which spread along the branches of main pancreatic duct (MPD), particularly along the branches draining the head and uncinate process. Conclusion: A comprehensive knowledge of arrangement of ducts in head and uncinate process of pancreas would help in precise localization and complete removal of benign and low grade malignant pancreatic tumors and in forming diagnostic and surgical strategies to reduce the post operative complication.
