Pancreas Surgery describes a range of procedures performed to treat the following illnesses:
- Acute pancreatitis
- Chronic pancreatitis
- Pancreatic cancer
Surgery for treating chronic and acute pancreatitis is called Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery which is the surgical removal of the Gallbladder. Surgery for treating pancreatic cancer is often the only way to cure this form of cancer.
Why would you have pancreas surgery?
- If you are suffering from chronic and acute pancreatitis, surgery will be recommended to remove the gallbladder.
- If you have been suffering from painful gallstones that are blocking the flow of bile. Removing the gallbladder ensures that you will no longer suffer from gallstones.
- If you are suffering from pancreatic cancer, surgery will be recommended as the main option to the nature of pancreatic cancer being difficult to diagnose, and hence when it is detected it can often be quite advanced.
A cholecystectomy can be performed in two different ways:
- Laparoscopically – a number of small incisions are made in your abdomen, and special instruments are used to remove the gallbladder. This is also known as keyhole surgery.
- Open surgery – one larger incision is made in the abdominal area to remove the gallbladder.
Both procedures are performed under general anesthetic, but generally, laparoscopic surgery is used more frequently because it is less invasive, and therefore has a quicker recovery period.
The different forms of pancreatic cancer surgery are carried out as follows:
- Whipple procedure
- Distal pancreatectomy
- Total pancreatectomy
- Biliary diversion
How Treat it?
Before having Pancreas Surgery, a series of tests will be run to determine if you are fit and healthy enough for surgery. It is also advised that in the time leading up to surgery, a healthy diet is followed, and smoking and drinking are avoided. You would also need to stop eating and drinking the night before surgery. The night before surgery, it is common to be given a carbohydrate-rich drink that is designed to give you plenty of energy to aid recovery.
