In periampullary cancer patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy, anomalies in the right hepatic artery (RHA) anatomy, including accessory or replaced RHAs, were observed in 16.3% of cases. However, when comparing outcomes with a propensity score-matched analysis, the presence of these anomalies did not significantly impact perioperative complications or histopathological findings. High-volume centers performing pancreatoduodenectomy can manage cases with anomalous RHA without a notable increase in adverse outcomes.
