Pancreatectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the Pancreas. The pancreas is an organ located in the abdomen that has two critical functions: to produce juices that help digest food and produce hormones such as glucagon and insulin. The procedure is usually performed to treat several conditions that involve the pancreas, such as pancreatitis, benign pancreatic tumors, and pancreatic cancer.
The complete recovery time following a pancreatectomy takes anywhere between four to eight weeks. Some people are able to return to most of their activities, including working, driving, and light exercise (such as walking), within six weeks. Make sure to talk to your surgeon about the detail of your recovery timeline.
Pancreatectomy is considered safe and effective. Nevertheless, as with any surgery, it does have some side effects and risks, including bleeding, infection, long term digestive complications, delayed gastric emptying, pancreatic fistula, gastroparesis or gastric ileus, and allergic reactions to the anesthetic.
