Abstract:Variations in the hepatic artery's anatomy can significantly impact planning and executing pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgeries. Of these, the commonest are variations of right and left hepatic arteries originating from superior mesenteric and left gastric arteries, respectively. The anomalous origin of the right hepatic artery from the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) is among the rarest and most challenging anatomy, especially in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) since GDA ligation is a mandatory s… Show more
