The pancreas plays a critical role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. Pancreatic diseases include pancreatic cancer, benign cysts, and chronic pancreatitis, all of which can significantly affect quality of life and long-term health. Pancreatic conditions often progress silently, making early diagnosis and expert surgical management essential.

Symptoms may include persistent abdominal pain radiating to the back, jaundice, unexplained weight loss, digestive problems, nausea, and new-onset diabetes. Chronic pancreatitis may cause recurrent pain and malabsorption, while pancreatic cancer often presents late with systemic symptoms.

Diagnosis involves blood tests, CT scan, MRI, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with biopsy when required. Accurate staging and assessment are crucial for determining treatment options.

Surgical treatment depends on the condition and location of disease. Procedures may include pancreatectomy (partial or total removal of the pancreas) or complex operations such as the Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) for certain cancers. At IMH, minimally invasive pancreatic surgery is offered for selected cases, reducing recovery time and post-operative discomfort.

Pancreatic surgery requires close collaboration between gastroenterology, oncology, endocrinology, anesthesia, and critical care teams. Post-operative care focuses on pain control, nutritional support, enzyme replacement, and blood sugar management.

Early surgical intervention improves outcomes and symptom control. IMH provides comprehensive pancreatic care with a focus on safety, precision, and long-term recovery.
