Anatomic Variations of Pancreaticobiliary Union.

AIM

This study was designated to evaluate the frequency of anatomic variations of the pancreaticobiliary union.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Our research was observational, comparative and analytical. The investigation was conducted from January 2016-May 2017. This study included 63 patients from Clinic of Gastroenterology and Hepatology - Prishtina, assessed pancreaticobiliary union with Magnetic Resonance cholangiopancreatography.

RESULTS

Union of the common bile duct and the major pancreas was biliary-pancreatic type The angle between common bile duct and the major pancreas duct had different sizes average 35.6°. We did not distinguish significant statistical significance in the size of the pancreaticobiliary angle. In men, the union angle was from the average 36.9°, while in females was average 34.3°. No correlation between the age and size of the angle between common bile duct and the major pancreas duct.

CONCLUSIONS

The union of the common bile duct and the major pancreas duct was in most cases B-P Type. The common channel and angle between common bile duct and the major pancreas duct were normal in most cases.
