What are the risks associated with a pancreatectomy?How many pancreatectomies do you perform in a year?Will there be a scar?
A pancreatectomy is performed by a surgeon trained in gastroenterology, the branch of medicine that deals with the diseases of the digestive tract.
The mortality rate for patients undergoing pancreatectomy procedures can vary depending on the type and complexity of the procedure, as well as the overall health and condition of the patient. However, the mortality rate is generally considered to be around 2-5%.
The other most common complication is pancreatic anastomotic leak. This is a leak in the connection that the surgeon makes between the remainder of the pancreas and the other structures in the abdomen.
If you are looking for a doctor to do a circumcision, and the patient is a child, contact either a pediatrician or a pediatric surgeon, if the patient is an adult contact a urologist or a general surgeon.

During a total pancreatectomy, the entire pancreas is removed along with parts of the bile duct, small intestine, and stomach. In some cases, the spleen, gallbladder, and surrounding lymph nodes may also be removed depending on the extent of the disease.
The abdomen is filled with gas, usually carbon dioxide, to help the surgeon view the abdominal cavity.
