Distal Pancreatectomy

Under general anesthesia, an operating channel is established through laparoscopy, the distal pancreas is separated, and the relationship with adjacent blood vessels is handled. The spleen is often preserved or splenectomy is performed as appropriate. The common practice is to use energy instruments to dissect, use a stapler to cut off the pancreas and place drainage, and the specimen is taken out through a small incision. Postoperative monitoring for pancreatic fistula, bleeding, and infection, with the goal of resecting the lesion and preserving function as much as possible. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
