A common arterial blood supply known as the gastroduodenal artery passes through the head of the pancreas and the duodenum. If this artery is severed, the blood supply to both the organs, the pancreas and the duodenum is compromised and leads to tissue necrosis which means the death of body tissue. Tissue necrosis is an irreversible medical condition and can also occur due to exposure to radiation or harmful chemicals. When large areas of body tissue undergo necrosis, the affected area lacks a healthy supply of blood and can lead to gangrene.

Pancreatoduodenectomy is a minimally invasive procedure and consists of surgical removal of a part of the stomach, the gallbladder, the cystic duct, the bile duct, the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, proximal jejunum and lymph nodes. A reconstruction is performed to attach the pancreas, the common bile duct and the stomach to the jejunum. This allows food, the digestive juices and bile to flow into the gastrointestinal tract.
