Pancreatic surgery involves surgical procedures to treat conditions affecting the pancreas, such as tumors, cysts, or pancreatitis. The surgery can be performed using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive methods, depending on the patient's condition and the surgeon's expertise. Common types of pancreatic surgery include Whipple procedure, which removes part of the pancreas along with surrounding tissues, and distal pancreatectomy, which involves removing the tail of the pancreas. These surgeries aim to alleviate symptoms, remove cancerous growths, or manage complications related to pancreatic diseases.
