Pancreatic Anatomy and Physiology Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Carcinomas situated in the _____ of the pancreas are usually larger than the head

Answer: body

Flashcard 2: _____ procedure refers to duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection.

Answer: Beger

Flashcard 3: _____ classification is used for assessing severity of acute pancreatitis

Answer: Atlanta

Flashcard 4: Ductal adenocarcinomas arise most commonly in the _____ of the pancreas.

Answer: head

Flashcard 5: Pancreatic tumor involvement of the splenic artery or vein _____ preclude surgery.

Answer: does not (does/does not)

Flashcard 6: _____ (Braun anastomosis) is an optional procedure in Longmire-Traverso procedure done for CA Pancreas

Answer: Jejunojejunostomy

Extra: The Longmire-Traverso procedure is a **Pylorus-Preserving Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD)**. Standard reconstructions include: 1. **Pancreaticojejunostomy**: Pancreas to jejunum. 2. **Hepaticojejunostomy**: Common hepatic duct to jejunum. 3. **Duodenojejunostomy**: Duodenum (post-pyloric) to jejunum. A **Braun's anastomosis** (side-to-side jejunojejunostomy) is an optional step performed between the afferent and efferent loops to divert food away from the biliary tree, potentially reducing biliary reflux or delayed gastric emptying (DGE).

Flashcard 7: The double duct sign on ERCP is classically associated with which condition?

Answer: Adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas

Extra: The **double duct sign** refers to the simultaneous dilation of both the common bile duct (CBD) and the pancreatic duct. It is a hallmark imaging finding (seen on ERCP, CT, or MRCP) for a tumor in the head of the pancreas (most commonly adenocarcinoma) obstructing both ducts. Note: While "scrambled egg appearance" is a real but rare radiological description for **solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (Frantz tumors)** of the pancreas, the classic and high-yield association for ERCP findings in pancreatic cancer is the double duct sign.

Flashcard 8: Distal resection of the pancreatic tail, with end-to-end pancreaticojejunostomy, is known as _____ procedure.

Answer: Duval

Flashcard 9: What 7 structures are removed during a classic Whipple’s procedure (Pancreaticoduodenectomy)?

Answer: 1. Head of the pancreas 2. Duodenum 3. Gallbladder 4. Distal common bile duct 5. Distal stomach (Antrum) 6. Proximal jejunum 7. Regional lymph nodes

Flashcard 10: Surgery of choice for treatment of carcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas is _____ along with splenectomy

Answer: distal pancreatectomy
