Why is it important?
Introduction: Pancreas is a mixed gland with exocrine and endocrine components. Arterial supply comprises of branches from coeliac trunk and from Superior Mesenteric Artery [SMA]. The frequency of complications can be reduced by refining the surgical techniques and detailed knowledge of the regional anatomy of pancreas, including collateral circulation which formed the basis for our study. Materials and methods: After obtaining ethical committee approval, we observed the pattern of blood supply of pancreas in 40 cadavers, kept for undergraduate dissection in Ayaan Institute of Medical Sciences and Rohilkand Medical College and Hospital during 2018-2020. Results: Of the 40 cadavers, we observed following variations in 2 different cadavers. 1. Inferior pancreatico-duodenal artery took origin from a common stem along with first jejunal artery from SMA. 2. Double inferior pancreatico-duodenal artery. One took origin from superior mesenteric artery [usual] and the other from second jejunal artery.
