The pancreatic duct joins the bile duct at the major duodenal papilla, allowing pancreatic enzymes and bile to enter the duodenum for digestion. The duct system includes the main pancreatic duct, accessory duct, and associated sphincter muscles, coordinating digestive flow. This region is clinically significant in pancreatitis, biliary obstruction, or tumors. Endoscopic procedures such as ERCP or stenting rely on accurate anatomical knowledge to prevent complications. Disruption or obstruction can lead to jaundice, digestive issues, or pancreatitis. Surgeons and gastroenterologists carefully navigate this anatomy during surgery or endoscopic intervention to restore proper flow, relieve obstruction, and maintain digestive function.
