Pancreas Surgery
Surgery of the pancreas is usually reserved for precancerous or cancerous lesions of the pancreas. Some non-cancerous problems of the pancreas can also require surgery. It is major surgery and can be associated with significant risks including the small but finite risk of death. Most people are in hospital for about 1 week but might need to stay for longer. Dr Srinivasa performs major pancreatic surgery regularly and offers open, laparoscopic and robotic pancreatic surgery. He is also often consulted to comment on whether surgery is technically feasible and works with oncologists to provide multidisciplinary cancer care. Depending on the type and stage of cancer, surgery is recommended and a personalised care plan is constructed.
