Is heterotopic pancreas used for operation?

Heterotopic

pancreas refers to isolated pancreatic tissue that grows outside the pancreas and has no anatomical connection or vascular connection with normal pancreatic tissue. If the patient has no pathological changes, surgery is generally not required, and regular examination and observation of its changes can be performed. If ectopic pancreas has pathological changes, such as pancreatitis or cancer, heterotopic pancreatectomy is generally required for treatment.

The patient needs to go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital to determine the progress of the disease and decide the treatment plan according to the doctor's advice.
