Pancreatic arteries and anatomicosurgical segments in dogs

Ital J Anat Embryol. 1992 Oct-Dec;97(4):273-82.

Abstract

The distribution of the arteries supplying the pancreas was studied in 22 adult dogs (7 females and 15 males) of mixed breed. The pancreas was divided into 2 lobes, 4 sectors and 6 anatomicosurgical segments. These segments are defined as territories recognizable anatomically and surgically removable. The division and subdivision of the pancreas and the segmental arteries were the following: Left Lobe: Omental sector: I. Proximal segment: splenic a. II. Middle segment: splenic a. III. Distal segment: gastroduodenal and right gastro-omental Interpapillary sector: IV. Juxtaduodenal segment: cranial pancreaticoduodenal a. Right Lobe: Distal sector: V. Distal segment: cranial pancreaticoduodenal a. Proximal sector: VI. Proximal segment: caudal pancreaticoduodenal a.
