<p>This study explored the distribution and the variation of the pancreatic ductal system and tried to investigate the association between anatomic variations of the pancreatic ducts and pancreatic diseases. Forty-six human organ specimens (complexes of the liver, spleen, pancreas, and duodenum) were treated with 10% formalin solution. To reveal the morphological structures of the pancreatic ducts, the superficial issues of pancreas were dissected. Six distinct types of pancreatic ductal configurations in the pancreatic head were observed. Type 1, duct of Wirsung was dominant in 24 cases (52.2%). Type 2, duct of Santorini was dominant in 13 cases (28.2%). Type 3, duct of Santorini was absent in 5 cases (10.9%). Type 4, duct of Wirsung meanders beneath the main pancreatic duct in 1 case (2.2%). Type 5, the incomplete pancreas divisum while duct of Wirsung was dominant in 2 cases (4.3%). Type 6, the incomplete pancreas divisum while duct of Santorini was dominant in 1 case (2.2%). The accessory pancreatic duct was divided into the short type in 29% and long type in 71%. Some types of pancreatic duct morphology may result in poor transportation of pancreatic fluid, which can lead to the retention of pancreatic fluid. The present study provides variations of pancreatic ducts at the level of cadavers, which is more accurate than previous imaging observations and provides an anatomical basis for surgical treatment.</p>
