PANCREAS SURGERY

About Pancreas Surgery

Pancreas surgery involves complex procedures to treat conditions such as pancreatic tumors, cysts, pancreatitis, or trauma. Depending on the diagnosis, techniques include partial or total pancreatectomy and minimally invasive approaches. These surgeries aim to relieve symptoms, remove diseased tissue, and restore digestive and hormonal function with precision and care.
