Laparoscopic Pancreatectomy

Laparoscopic pancreatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove part or all of the pancreas. Using small incisions, a surgeon inserts a tiny camera and specialized instruments to perform the operation. This approach reduces pain, scarring, and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. It’s often used to treat conditions like pancreatic tumors or cysts. The surgeon views the pancreas on a monitor and carefully excises the affected tissue, aiming to preserve as much healthy pancreatic function as possible. Overall, it offers a safer and more comfortable option for suitable patients.
