Pancreatic Cyst Surgery is performed to remove cysts from the pancreas, which can vary in size and may be benign or malignant. Pancreatic cysts can cause symptoms such as pain, nausea, or jaundice, and some may lead to more serious conditions like cancer.
The surgery often involves removing the cyst and part of the pancreas, especially if the cyst is large, causing obstruction, or is potentially cancerous. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, may be used depending on the cyst’s location and complexity.
Postoperative care includes monitoring for infection, managing pain, and providing nutritional support. Depending on the type of cyst, patients may need further treatment like chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Pancreatic cyst surgery can prevent complications such as infection, rupture, or cancer, providing relief and improving long-term outcomes for patients with pancreatic cysts.
