Frequently Asked Questions
Pancreatic surgery involves the removal or repair of parts of the pancreas to treat serious conditions such as pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, benign tumours, or injuries. It is recommended when these issues cause pain, digestive problems, or pose a risk to overall health.
The main types of pancreatic surgery include:
- Whipple Procedure (Pancreaticoduodenectomy): Removes the head of the pancreas, part of the bile duct, gallbladder, and small intestine — usually for pancreatic cancer.
- Distal Pancreatectomy: Removes the body and tail of the pancreas, often along with the spleen.
- Total Pancreatectomy: Involves removal of the entire pancreas and nearby organs.
- Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic) Surgery: Performed through small incisions, offering faster recovery and fewer complications.
Common symptoms include persistent abdominal or back pain, unexplained weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and digestive issues. If these symptoms persist, medical evaluation is essential to identify underlying pancreatic conditions.
Minimally invasive pancreatic surgery uses small incisions, leading to less pain, reduced blood loss, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. It also offers improved precision, especially for complex procedures.
Recovery depends on the type of surgery performed. Most patients stay in hospital for 5–10 days and achieve full recovery in 4–6 weeks. Post-surgery care includes nutritional support, enzyme supplements, lifestyle modifications, and regular follow-ups to monitor healing and pancreatic function.
