Pancreatic Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, with the surgical approach determined by the specific disease and extent of resection required. Depending on the procedure, the surgeon may remove part or all of the pancreas and reconstruct the digestive and biliary pathways. Patients are closely monitored after surgery for complications such as bleeding, infection, pancreatic or bile leakage, delayed stomach emptying, digestive problems, and changes in blood glucose regulation.

Pancreatic Surgery may be considered for selected patients with localized pancreatic tumors, pancreatic cysts, chronic pancreatitis, or other conditions requiring surgical treatment. Before surgery, imaging such as CT, MRI, endoscopic ultrasound, or other investigations may be used to determine the location and extent of disease and assess its relationship with nearby blood vessels and organs. The specific procedure is selected according to the diagnosis, anatomy, pancreatic function, and overall health of the patient.
