Major surgery for the pancreas is a procedure known as a pancreaticoduodenectomy, or Whipple procedure. This procedure involves the removal of the head of the pancreas, the first part of the small intestine, a portion of the stomach, and the gallbladder. The remaining portions of the pancreas, small intestine, and stomach are reconnected to allow the digestive process to continue as normal. The Whipple procedure is typically used to treat pancreatic cancer, but may also be used to treat other conditions such as chronic pancreatitis.

This procedure involves the removal of the head of the pancreas, the gallbladder, part of the small intestine, and part of the stomach. It is used to treat pancreatic cancer, as well as some other diseases of the pancreas. The procedure can be very complex and is usually done when other treatments have not been successful. Recovery from the surgery can be difficult and may take several weeks.

Pancreas surgery is generally considered a major surgery due to its complexity. Generally, the type of surgery required is determined by the type and severity of the pancreas condition. The most common type of surgery is a Whipple procedure, which is used to treat cancerous tumors and cysts. It involves removing part of the pancreas, parts of the stomach and small intestine, and sometimes the gallbladder. Other types of surgery may include distal pancreatectomy, which is used to treat pancreatitis, or pancreaticoduodenectomy, which is used to treat pancreatic cancer. In each case, surgery is done to remove the affected part of the pancreas and/or repair any damage. Recovery times vary depending on the procedure, but major surgery for the pancreas is always considered a serious operation.

The major surgery for pancreas is a procedure called a pancreaticoduodenectomy, also known as a Whipple procedure. This complex operation involves removal of the head of the pancreas, part of the small intestine, the gallbladder, and the bile duct. It is used to treat malignant tumors in the pancreas and duodenum and can also be used to treat benign tumors, cysts, and other conditions. The Whipple procedure is a lengthy operation and requires a long recovery period. Patients may experience significant discomfort following the surgery and may require close monitoring and care.
