Pancreatic Cancer Surgery: An Overview
Surgery for pancreatic cancer focuses on excising the tumor, which may involve removing a portion of the pancreas or the entire organ. Some common surgical procedures include:
Whipple procedure: Designed for tumors located in the head of the pancreas.
Distal pancreatectomy: Used for tumors found in the body or tail of the pancreas.
In more advanced cases, a total pancreatectomy may be necessary, resulting in the removal of the entire pancreas.

Diabetes increases surgical risks, necessitating careful management. Prior to surgery, frequent blood sugar checks and adherence to medication instructions from your physician are crucial. Your healthcare team will monitor blood glucose levels during and after the procedure to prevent complications like infection and delayed healing, which are more likely with poorly managed blood sugar.

Pathology is vital in surgery for disease diagnosis, tumor staging and grading, and confirming clear surgical margins. Pathologists analyze tissue samples to offer real-time guidance during operations and provide post-operative analysis to determine if further treatments like re-excision, chemotherapy, or radiation are necessary.
