Pancreatectomy-related Conditions

Pancreatectomy is a surgical procedure where all or part of the pancreas is removed, often due to conditions like cancer or chronic pancreatitis. After this surgery, patients may face complications such as diabetes, since the pancreas regulates blood sugar; digestive issues, due to a decrease in digestive enzymes; and potential nutritional deficiencies. Monitoring and management are crucial post-surgery. Patients may need insulin for blood sugar control, enzyme supplements for digestion, and dietary adjustments to maintain health. Regular follow-ups with healthcare providers are important for ongoing support and care.
