Correlation of the anatomical variations of pancreatic blood vessels and occurrence of diseases of pancreas.

OBJECTIVE

Aim: The research aims to confirm or reject the hypothesis on the possible relationship between the influence of changes in pancreatic vascular variations on the mechanisms of occurrence of pancreatic diseases based on the collected scientific literature..

PATIENTS AND

METHODS

Materials and

Methods

The bibliosemantic, bibliographic, statistical research methods were used in the research. Scientometric databases Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and archives of scientific papers such as Google Scholar and Research Gate for the last 6 years (2018-2023) were used to form a study basis.

CONCLUSION

Conclusions

Based on the analyzed sources, blood supply variants to the pancreas do not influence the development of pathological processes. However, vein and artery features impact treatment choices and surgical outcomes. Main and additional pancreatic ducts, and the common bile duct, may be linked to diseases. Atypical pancreatic artery branching affects surgical tactics and increases bleeding risk.
