Impact of precise preoperative vascular assessment and different dorsal pancreatic artery variant subtypes on pancreatic surgery-related bleeding

Variations in the pancreatic vasculature, including both arterial and venous systems, may influence surgery-related bleeding. Robust statistical evidence for bleeding reduction is not established in the overall study. Although the clinical outcome related measures presented in this study are merely associative and exploratory findings, a precise preoperative vascular assessment could help enhance anatomical understanding and optimize preoperative procedural planning, which is particularly valuable for surgeons during their learning phase.
