The foregut will form gastrointestinal tissue from the oropharynx to the duode­num proximal to the major papilla in addition to the special digestive organs: the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The celiac artery is the primary vessel supplying the structures of the embryologic foregut. The midgut develops into the distal duode­num through the proximal transverse colon. The primary arterial supply of the mid­gut is derived from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Finally, the hindgut forms the distal transverse colon through the anus with its primary blood supply provided via the inferior mesenteric artery.
During the fth embryonic week, proliferation of the primitive gut tube contin­ues at a prolic rate resulting in occlusion of the lumen of the tube and the pancre­atic buds rst appear. These buds develop as direct outgrowths of the duodenal endoderm and as such, they too are covered on their ventral surface by splanchnic mesoderm. The dorsal pancreatic bud is relatively larger than the ventral pancreatic bud which is associated with the developing common bile duct, gallbladder, and liver.
By the end of the seventh embryonic week, the stomach completes a 90-degree clockwise rotation dragging with it the duodenum, the ventral pancreatic bud, and common bile duct. This rotation has several results, namely it creates the character­istic “C” of the duodenum, brings the pancreas and all but the most proximal duo­denum into the retroperitoneum, and it puts the ventral pancreatic bud into contact with the posterior aspect of the dorsal pancreatic bud. The pancreatic buds, partially sandwiching the common bile duct, will then fuse by the end of week eight. The superior pancreatic head, neck, body, and tail originate from the dorsal pancreatic bud while the inferior pancreatic head and uncinate process are formed by the ven­tral bud. The main pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) is formed by fusion of the distal two thirds of the dorsal pancreatic duct with the entire ventral duct. The acces­sory pancreatic duct (duct of Santorini) is formed by the persistence of the proximal one third of the dorsal pancreatic duct, but the duct may completely regress in up to 40% of cases.
Prior to the arrival of week 10, the lumen of the gut is once again fully patent due to apoptosis of some endodermal cells. By the completion of week 10, acinar and primitive islet cells can be found within the pancreas of the embryo. Both exocrine and endocrine pancreatic cells form from endodermal buds. There is then an ampli­cation of endocrine cells, particularly beta cells. By week 13, alpha, beta, and delta cells are present in the islets [24].

Normal Anatomy

Duodenal Anatomy
The duodenum is the rst 20 to 25cm of small bowel and connects the stomach to the jejunum. It is found in the upper abdomen, generally between lumbar vertebra one and three. Unlike the remainder of the small bowel, the duodenum does not have a mesentery. Its course forms a characteristic “C” shape which is divided into four parts: superior (D1), descending (D2), inferior (D3), and ascending (D4). D1 travels superiorly from the pylorus of the stomach. Approximately the rst half of D1 is located intraperitoneally prior to transitioning to a retroperitoneal location. The hepatoduodenal ligament attaches D1 to the inferior aspect of the liver. D2 courses inferiorly, as the name implies, and curves around the head of the pancreas. It contains the major and minor duodenal papillae by which the liver and pancreas drain. D3 crosses from right to left, passing over the great vessels and behind the superior mesenteric vessels. Once the duodenum crosses over the aorta, it begins an anterosuperior ascension and is called D4. The most distal segment of D4 transi­tions into the intraperitoneal space and its terminal point is marked by a peritoneal fold, known as the ligament of Treitz (suspensory muscle of the duodenum). The ligament of Treitz creates a sharp anteroinferior turn known as the duodenojejunal exure and signies the start of the jejunum [2, 3, 5, 6].
Pancreatic Anatomy
Also located primarily in the retroperitoneum, the pancreas is positioned posterior to the stomach and mesentery of the transverse colon. It also is divided into four major sections: head, neck, body, and tail. The head is the most right-sided major division of the pancreas and can be found nestled within the C-loop of the duode­num, which overlies the inferior vena cava (IVC). The uncinate process, a subdivi­sion of the head, extends inferiorly and medially to hook behind the superior mesenteric vein (SMV). The uncinate process generally terminates prior to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). The neck is a short segment that connects the head and body of the pancreas and is located directly anterior to the SMV. The gas­troduodenal artery (GDA) is located on the anterior surface of the pancreas and can be used to identify the border between the head and neck of the pancreas. The body then extends across the midline, crossing over the aorta and SMA. The tail lies ante­rior to the left kidney and can be intimately related to the splenic hilum and left colonic exure. The splenic vein courses along the posterior surface of the body and tail, while the splenic artery runs along their superior surface [68].

Ductal Anatomy
The extrahepatic biliary ducts ultimately ow into the common bile duct, which travels in the hepatoduodenal ligament. The common bile duct passes posterior to D1, courses within a deep pancreatic groove on the posterior surface of the pancre­atic head until eventually becoming intrapancreatic prior to its termination in the duodenum. The normal internal diameter of the common bile duct is less than 6mm.
The main pancreatic duct is responsible for drainage of the entire length of the pancreas. It eventually joins the distal common bile duct to drain via the major duo­denal papilla. The diameter of the main duct increases gradually as it travels from the tail to the pancreatic head with normal diameters of 1–2mm in the tail, 2–3mm in the body, and 3–4mm in the head. The accessory duct drains the anterosuperior aspect of the pancreatic head. Approximately 60% of people have a bid pancreatic duct conguration with the main and accessory pancreatic ducts both present although the main duct maintains the dominant role of drainage. The accessory pancreatic duct typically drains via the minor duodenal papilla, which is located within D2 proximal to the major duodenal papilla.
The ampulla of Vater (hepatopancreatic ampulla) contains the dilated fusion of the distal portion of the common bile and main pancreatic ducts. It is located within the wall of D2, in the most common conguration, producing a short common chan­nel. The sphincter of Oddi (hepatopancreatic sphincter), a smooth muscle complex, is located within the ampulla of Vater and controls the ow of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the duodenum and prevents reux into the common bile and main pancreatic ducts [2, 7, 9, 10].
Vasculature
The duodenum and head of the pancreas obtain their blood supply by a highly redundant arterial collateralization from branches of both the celiac trunk and SMA. The celiac trunk gives rise to the common hepatic artery. The common hepatic artery branches to form the gastroduodenal artery, which then gives off the anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries. These supply D1 to the major duodenal papilla in D2. Meanwhile, the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery, a branch of the SMA, bifurcates into the anterior and posterior inferior pancreatico­duodenal arteries. The paired inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries provide for D2, distal to the major papilla, through D4. Together, the four pancreaticoduodenal arteries supply the head and uncinate process of the pancreas. The pancreatic neck, body, and tail all receive their arterial supply from branches of the splenic artery via the celiac trunk. The splenic artery produces several small branches along its length to supply the superior aspect. The inferior aspect of the neck, body, and tail are sup­plied by the dorsal (superior) and inferior (transverse) pancreatic arteries.
1 Anatomy andPhysiology
Venous drainage of the area generally mirrors that of the arterial system. All of the pancreaticoduodenal veins ultimately drain into the SMV. While the anterior and posterior inferior veins directly conuence with the SMV at the inferior border of the uncinate process, the posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal vein joins the SMV at the superior border of the pancreatic neck. The anterior superior ows into the right gastroepiploic vein prior to entering the SMV at the inferior border of the pancreas. Venous outow of the pancreatic body and tail is via the branches of the splenic vein [2, 6].

Lymphatics
The body and tail of the pancreas directly drain to the pancreaticosplenic lymph nodes (stations 18, 10, 11), which subsequently go to the celiac lymph nodes (sta­tion 9). The head and neck of the pancreas primarily drain to the supra- and infra­pyloric lymph nodes (stations 5 and 6), anterior to the common hepatic artery (station 8a), around the cystic and common bile ducts (stations 12b1, 12b2, 12c), anterior and posterior to the head of the pancreas (stations 13a, 13b, 17a, 17b), and along the proximal SMA [14]. The duodenal lymphatics are located anterior and posterior to the head of the pancreas and around the SMA [11, 12].
Nerves
The vagus nerves provide parasympathetic innervation to the duodenum and pan­creas. The left and right vagus nerves divide to form the anterior and posterior vagal trunks, respectively, which travel near the surface of the distal esophagus. The vagal trunks then pass through the celiac plexus before branching to innervate the submu­cosal layer of the duodenum and the pancreatic acinar and islet cells. Thoracic-level greater and lesser splanchnic nerves provide sympathetic innervation to both the duodenum and pancreas after passing through the sympathetic chain to the celiac and superior mesenteric plexuses [12, 13].

Clinically Relevant Anatomic Variations

Duodenum Inversum
In duodenum inversum, also known as inverted duodenum, the proximal duodenum travels posterosuperiorly so that the D3 curves over D2 ultimately terminating at a normally located ligament of Treitz. While the etiology is incompletely known, it is

thought to result from a persistent pancreatic dorsal mesentery resulting in incom­plete embryologic rotation. The reported prevalence is less than 1%, with the major­ity of these patients incidentally identied on imaging. Among the few who develop symptoms, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and epigastric pain are often seen. Notably, duodenum inversum is often reported in patients also found to have pancreas divi­sum [14] (Fig.1.1).
Pancreas Divisum
Pancreas divisum is the most common pancreatic anatomic variant, occurring in up to 14% of the population. There are three primary variants, all of which result in a relative outow obstruction through the minor papilla and may result in recurrent acute pancreatitis: type 1 (classical), type 2, and type 3 (incomplete). In type 1, there is a complete failure of fusion of the dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds resulting in the superior head, neck, body, and tail draining via the accessory duct and the minor papilla while the inferior head and uncinate process drain through the main pancre­atic duct and the major duodenal papilla (Fig.1.2). With type 2 pancreas divisum, there is an absence of the main pancreatic duct and pancreatic drainage is thus dependent upon the accessory duct alone. Type 3 is similar to type 1, except there is a diminutive communicating ductal branch between the main and accessory ducts [8, 10].

Annular Pancreas
The prevalence rate of annular pancreas is thought to be 0.01% and results from a failure of the ventral bud to properly rotate with the second portion of the duodenum during embryologic development. This results in complete, or partial, encasement of the duodenum by pancreatic tissue. There are two types: extramural and intramu­ral. The most common type, extramural, occurs when the ventral pancreatic duct traverses posteriorly around the duodenum to join the main pancreatic duct in the usual fashion. When symptomatic, this often presents as a duodenal obstruction and has been associated with Down syndrome. The second type, intramural, results in many small ducts that drain directly into the duodenum from the ventral pancreatic bud and may cause duodenal ulcerations [7, 10].
9
Ectopic Pancreas
Ectopic pancreas occurs when normal pancreatic tissue exists without anatomic or vascular communication with the main pancreatic gland. Typically, these are identi­ed in the submucosa of the gastric antrum (30%), duodenum (50%), or the remain­der of the small bowel (20%). The embryologic origin for these islands of pancreatic tissue is thought to be residual primitive pancreatic cells that were not incorporated into the pancreatic buds. Ectopic pancreas is most often an incidental nding, but patients may develop abdominal pain, dyspepsia, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Although rare, there are reports of malignancy that develops within the ectopic pan­creatic tissue which may be signicant in patients with known pancreatic eld defects [7, 8, 10].

Pancreatic Agenesis andHypoplasia
Total pancreatic agenesis is considered incompatible with life, but partial agenesis, also known as hypoplasia, does occasionally occur as a result of a failure of the ventral or dorsal pancreatic buds to develop. Total dorsal pancreatic agenesis (“short pancreas”) is extremely rare and has been associated with visceral heterotaxy. More commonly, partial dorsal agenesis occurs resulting in a variable degree of tail, body, neck, or anterior head absence. In partial dorsal agenesis, the accessory pancreatic duct and minor papilla are present, which differentiates it from total dorsal agenesis. Patients with dorsal agenesis are at elevated risk for diabetes as the islet cells are primarily located in the pancreatic tail [7, 8, 10].
Ansa Pancreatica
The rarest pancreatic duct anomaly, ansa pancreatica, is associated with the devel­opment of recurrent acute pancreatitis. In this anomaly, there is an obliteration of the accessory duct prior to joining the main pancreatic duct. This missing segment is replaced with a dilated branch of the main duct which takes an “S-shaped” or looping path to the remnant accessory duct allowing for drainage through the minor papilla [7, 15].
Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction
Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction) occurs when the common bile duct and main pancreatic duct fuse prior to entering the duodenal wall which results in a long common channel (>15mm) outside of the purview of the sphincter of Oddi. The estimated prevalence is near 3% worldwide although signicantly higher rates are observed in Asia. In recent years, studies have associated pancreaticobiliary maljunction with development of biliary tract malignancies and pancreatitis, which are believed to result from bidirectional reux of pancreatic juices and bile. While pancreaticobiliary maljunction is associated with a choledochal cyst (types A and C) in 70% of cases, it also occurs without dila­tion (type B) or as a product of annular pancreas, pancreas divisum, or other atypical duct congurations (type D) [1618].

Duplication Anomalies
Duplication cysts are characterized by an epithelial mucosal lining, a smooth mus­cle layer, and an attachment, whether communicating or non-communicating, to the native alimentary tract. They may occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract and are named for their native-organ attachment from which they obtain their blood supply. Notably, up to 35% of duplication cysts contain ectopic tissue with gastric and pancreatic being common. Overall, the incidence of duplication cysts is 1in 4500 births with duodenal duplication cysts accounting for 5% of those identied. Pancreatic duplication cysts are exceedingly uncommon with less than 75 reported cases in the literature.
Generally, duodenal duplication cysts are identied in early childhood as a result of abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, or intestinal obstruction although severe pancreatitis and cyst rupture do occur. Duodenal duplication cysts are typi­cally located in the second or third portion of the duodenum and may communicate with the native duodenum, the pancreatic duct, or the common bile duct. Very little is known about pancreatic duplication cysts, but they are thought to have a connec­tion with the native pancreatic duct [1921].

Physiology

Duodenal Physiology
Mechanical Function
The migrating motor complex (MMC) is a recurring gastrointestinal pattern that occurs every 90min in the fasted state. The MMC is thought to originate in the gastric antrum or duodenum and propagate a peristaltic contraction distally in order to propel residual material toward the colon. The MMC occurs in four phases with the third affecting the strongest contractions. Motilin, an active gastrointestinal pep­tide, is known to play a large role during phase III MMC contractions [22].
During the fed state, the duodenal motion serves two purposes: to mix the chyme deposited from the stomach and to increase the chyme’s contact with the brush bor­der of the intestines (segmentation contractions) and to propel the chyme forward through the intestinal tract (peristalsis) [23]. Peristalsis is increased by cholecysto­kinin, gastrin, serotonin, and insulin and decreased by glucagon and secretin [24].

Digestive andAbsorptive Functions
The duodenum is a signicant location for digestion of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins within the gastrointestinal tract and is primarily responsible for the absorp­tion of starches, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and water.
Oral and pancreatic amylase debranch almost all dietary starches (lactulose, sucrose, maltose) to maltose, saccharides, and dextrins prior to their passage into the jejunum. The more simplied starches then come into contact with the brush border of the intestines which completes the process of converting them primarily to glucose. SGLT1 transporters, present on the brush border in the upper one third of the small bowel, allow active transport of glucose and galactose from the diges­tive tract. GLUT5 allows for the facilitated diffusion of fructose across the brush border of the small intestines.
Denatured proteins, present in chyme, are further broken down by secreted pan­creatic enzymes that are activated by the duodenal brush border in a cascade-like manner. Trypsin, activated from the secreted enzyme trypsinogen, then activates other proteolytic enzymes such as chymotrypsin, elastase, and carboxypeptidase. Together these enzymes complete the digestion of proteins to amino acids allowing for up to 90% of protein absorption by the end of the jejunum.
The duodenum is responsible for the uptake of several vitamins and minerals. Duodenal active transport of calcium is enhanced by the relatively acidic environ­ment, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone. Similarly, iron, in its ferrous form or as heme, is actively transported primarily in the duodenum by the transporter DMT1. Ferric iron is reduced to the ferrous form by brush border enzyme cytochrome b. DMT1 also transports zinc and copper within the duodenum. Finally, vitamin B12 (cobalamin), absorbed in the terminal ileum, requires pancreatic proteases in the duodenum to cleave intrinsic factor from B12 to allow for future absorption [25].
Endocrine Function
The second portion of the duodenum is the entry point for both stomach contents and pancreatic uid into the small bowel. The duodenum plays an important role in hormone secretion in several negative feedback loops. G cells, primarily located in the gastric antrum, can be found in the duodenum. G cells are stimulated to release gastrin in response to vagal stimulation and gastrin-releasing peptide (bombesin) due to protein ingestion, gastric distention, and an elevated gastric pH.Gastrin stim­ulates gastric parietal cells to acidify the stomach, stimulates gastrointestinal muco­sal growth, and increases gastric motility [26].
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is produced by I-cells in the duodenum, but also the jejunum, in response to the release of fats and digested proteins deposited from the stomach. CCK’s primary functions are known to aid in digestion. It stimulates the gallbladder to contract, relaxes the sphincter of Oddi, inhibits further stomach con­traction, and plays a role in inducing satiety. Additionally, CCK stimulates

pancreatic release of bicarbonate rich uid although to a much lesser extent than that of secretin [27].
Passage of gastric chyme into the duodenum and jejunum also stimulates the S cells to produce secretin. Specically, a pH less than 4.5, fatty acids, and bile salts have been shown to stimulate secretin production. Secretin limits further gastrin release in the stomach and induces the pancreas to produce a high-volume bicarbon­ate uid to neutralize the acidic chyme and digestive enzymes to aid fat digestion.
Somatostatin (SST) is produced by D cells in the pancreas as well as in the gas­tric antrum, duodenum, and central nervous system. Within the gut, SST is secreted in the presence of acid, fat, proteins, glucose, and cholecystokinin and acts as an inhibitor of pancreatic, biliary, gastric, and colonic secretion. Additionally, it inhib­its the release of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) [28].
Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) is produced primarily by the K cells of the duo­denum and proximal jejunum, yet can be found throughout the small intestine. GIP is secreted in response to intraluminal glucose, high concentrations of amino acids, or long-chain fatty acids. The gastrointestinal related effects of GIP include stimula­tion of pancreatic islet cells to increase insulin levels and inhibition of G cell gastrin secretion [27, 29].
M cells, found in the duodenum, produce motilin which aids in propulsion of food through the gastrointestinal tract, increases gallbladder contractility, increases the lower esophageal sphincter tone, increases gastric pepsin release, and is thought to play a role in increasing hunger. Several factors increase motilin release including prolonged fasting and the presence of fat or acid in the duodenum [30, 31].
VIP, like SST, has a multitude of roles throughout the body. In the gastrointesti­nal tract, it is produced by the myenteric and submucosal plexus nerves in the intes­tinal walls and by the islet cells of the pancreas in response to vagal stimulation. Generally, VIP results in smooth muscle relaxation of the lower esophageal sphinc­ter, stomach, gallbladder, small bowel, and blood vessels. Additionally, it causes secretion of water and electrolytes from the small bowel and bicarbonate rich uid from the pancreas. Finally, in the stomach it reduces gastrin-related acid produc­tion [32].
Pancreatic Physiology
Exocrine Physiology
The exocrine structures of the pancreas make up about 80–90% of the pancreatic mass, and the endocrine structures contribute to about 2% of the pancreas. The rest of the pancreas is made up of the extracellular matrix, blood vessels, and ductal structures. The function of the exocrine pancreas is to aid in the digestion of carbo­hydrates, fats, and proteins.
There are two main components of the exocrine pancreas: the acinar cells and the ductal system. The pancreas secretes about 1L of pancreatic uid daily, containing
