RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive morphometric analysis of the human cadaveric pancreas in the Assamese population. The pancreas is a vital organ involved in digestion and glucose regulation, and its morphological variations can have significant clinical implications. However, limited information exists regarding the specific characteristics of the pancreas in the Assamese population. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a detailed examination of pancreas specimens obtained from cadavers of individuals from the Assamese population. Morphometric measurements, including length, width, and thickness of the pancreas, as well as the dimensions of its various lobes, were recorded. The data obtained were statistically analyzed to determine any significant differences or similarities compared to other populations. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of the morphological variations of the pancreas in the Assamese population and may have implications for clinical practice and surgical interventions in this region.
