Pancreatic Surgery
we offer specialized Pancreatic Surgery Services designed to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of pancreatic conditions. The pancreas plays a vital role in digestion and blood sugar regulation, and diseases affecting this organ require expert care and timely intervention.

Pancreatic surgery refers to a group of procedures performed to treat diseases or conditions affecting the pancreas. Surgery may be required to remove tumors, cysts, or damaged portions of the pancreas, to treat chronic pancreatitis, or in cases of pancreatic cancer. Depending on the diagnosis, procedures may range from minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries to complex open surgeries such as:
Whipple Procedure (Pancreaticoduodenectomy)
Distal Pancreatectomy
Total Pancreatectomy
Drainage Procedures for Pancreatic Pseudocysts
Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Pancreatic Surgery
Symptoms That May Indicate Pancreatic Problems
Pancreatic diseases often show subtle signs, which can worsen if left untreated. Common symptoms include:
Abdominal pain radiating to the back
Unexplained weight loss
Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)
Loss of appetite
Nausea and vomiting
Fatigue and weakness
Changes in stool (greasy or light-colored stools)
Newly diagnosed diabetes or worsening diabetes

If you experience persistent or severe symptoms, early evaluation is essential to prevent complications.

Avoid excessive alcohol consumption.
Quit smoking — a major risk factor for pancreatic cancer.
Maintain a healthy weight through balanced diet and regular exercise.
Control diabetes and monitor blood sugar levels.
Limit intake of fatty and processed foods.
Stay hydrated and follow a fiber-rich diet.
Schedule regular health check-ups, especially if you have a family history of pancreatic disorders.
