Pancreas Diseases, Diagnosis & Treatment
The pancreas is a gland located behind the stomach and close to the duodenum. It has three main parts: head, body and tail.
The pancreas performs both exocrine and endocrine functions. It produces digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin and glucagon that help regulate blood sugar.
Pancreatic disorders can range from acute inflammation and pancreatic cysts to chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Treatment depends on the underlying condition, its severity and the patient's overall health.
Common Pancreatic Diseases
Pancreatic disorders require accurate diagnosis and condition-specific treatment planning.
Conditions We Treat
- Acute pancreatitis
- Chronic pancreatitis
- Pancreatic pseudocyst
- Pancreatic cystic lesions
- Pancreatic duct stones
- Pancreatic cancer
- Periampullary tumors
Symptoms of Pancreatic Disorders
- Upper abdominal pain
- Pain radiating to the back
- Nausea and vomiting
- Jaundice
- Unexplained weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Digestive problems
- Changes in blood sugar levels
Understanding Pancreatic Problems
Treatment is selected according to the diagnosis, severity, imaging findings and overall health.
Acute Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis is sudden inflammation of the pancreas. Diagnosis may include clinical evaluation, pancreatic enzyme testing and appropriate imaging.
- Clinical evaluation
- Lipase and amylase testing
- Ultrasound / CT when indicated
- MRI or MRCP when required
Chronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis is a long-term inflammatory condition that can affect digestive and endocrine function.
- Pain management
- Pancreatic enzyme replacement
- Nutritional management
- Endoscopic or surgical treatment when appropriate
Pancreatic Pseudocyst
Pancreatic pseudocysts and other fluid collections may develop after pancreatitis.
- Observation in selected cases
- Endoscopic drainage
- Laparoscopic drainage
- Cystogastrostomy
Pancreatic Duct Stones
Pancreatic duct stones may occur in chronic pancreatitis and can contribute to duct obstruction and abdominal pain.
- ERCP in suitable cases
- Endoscopic stone removal
- Shock wave lithotripsy in selected cases
- Surgical drainage when appropriate
Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer requires accurate diagnosis and staging before treatment is planned.
- Contrast-enhanced CT
- MRI / MRCP
- Endoscopic ultrasound in selected cases
- Biopsy and staging when indicated
Diagnosis of Pancreatic Diseases
Accurate diagnosis helps determine the most appropriate treatment. Depending on the symptoms and suspected condition, investigations may include blood tests and imaging.
The exact tests required depend on the patient's symptoms, clinical findings and suspected pancreatic condition.
Pancreatic enzymes and other relevant laboratory investigations.
Imaging when clinically indicated.
Detailed abdominal imaging for selected pancreatic conditions.
Used when detailed pancreatic and ductal imaging is required.
Considered in selected pancreatic lesions and suspected tumors.
Performed in selected situations when clinically required.
Pancreatic Cancer Surgery
Surgery may be considered for selected patients with resectable pancreatic tumors. The operation depends mainly on tumor location and disease extent.
Whipple Procedure
Pancreaticoduodenectomy, commonly known as the Whipple procedure, is generally used for selected tumors involving the head of the pancreas and periampullary region.
Distal Pancreatectomy
Distal pancreatectomy may be considered for selected tumors involving the body or tail of the pancreas.
Pancreatic Drainage Surgery
Selected patients with chronic pancreatitis and persistent symptoms may require pancreatic drainage procedures.
Advanced Pancreatic Surgical Options
Selected pancreatic conditions may be managed using minimally invasive techniques depending on the disease, anatomy and overall patient condition.
- Laparoscopic cyst drainage
- Selected distal pancreatic procedures
- Selected pancreatic drainage procedures
- Minimally invasive management of suitable conditions
Individualised Surgical Planning
The appropriate surgical approach is selected after reviewing diagnosis, imaging findings, disease severity and the patient's overall health.
Discuss Your CaseRecovery After Pancreatic Surgery
Recovery depends on the type of pancreatic procedure, the patient's general health and whether complications occur.
- Hospital monitoring after surgery
- Gradual return to oral nutrition
- Monitoring of blood sugar
- Digestive function assessment
- Follow-up with the surgical team
When Should You Consult a Pancreas Surgeon?
Specialist evaluation may be appropriate if you have recurrent pancreatitis, persistent pancreatic pain, pancreatic cysts, pancreatic duct stones, jaundice or a suspected pancreatic tumor.
Early assessment can help determine whether observation, medical treatment, endoscopic intervention or surgery is appropriate.
