Passionate about your health journey.
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are also very common. After diagnosis, surgery can be selected. The most common site is the head of the pancreas. The surgical method can choose the resection of the head of the pancreas. Traditional laparotomy or laparoscopic or da Vinci's robotic surgery can be used. During the operation, the lesion should be carefully separated to prevent residue, and attention should be paid to protecting the blood supply vessels of the duodenum when removing the head of the pancreas to prevent postoperative duodenal necrosis. After surgery, the pancreatic section is sutured carefully to prevent pancreatic fistula. The retained pancreatic duct can be anastomosed with jejunum. Blood sugar changes after surgery are also monitored. Some people show steatosis or hypoglycemia due to insufficient pancreatic secretion, which affects food digestion. Regular reexamination is also required after surgery. Some patients are also prone to recurrence and pain.
