• Weight Loss

  Gastrointestinal symptoms and unintended weight loss (P < 0.01) were more common with low doses of pancreatic enzymes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Potential Complications of Surgery In addition to the typical risks and complications associated with abdominal surgery, some specific to a total pancreatectomy include: Weight loss - A 10-15 pound weight loss is common after surgery. [medstargeorgetown.org]

  Symptoms Nausea, vomiting Jaundice Abdominal pain Weight loss, weakness C. Laparoscopic Pancreatectomy. The surgeon will make about 4-5 small incisions in your abdomen. [laparoscopicexperts.com]

  Although the patient’s pain may wax and wane, in a large segment of patients with chronic, relentless pain, overall QOL will continue to deteriorate due to chronic pain, narcotic addiction, weight loss, diarrhea, and general disability. [endocrinenews.endocrine.org]

• Hypothermia

  The vascular resection was performed combining a complete Cattell-Braasch maneuver with local bowel hypothermia in an attempt to avoid graft interposition by facilitating an end-to-end anastomosis and to reduce the warm ischemia time. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Diarrhea

From workup investigations, the patient was diagnosed with PDAC or a recurrent ITPN of the remnant pancreas. A total remnant pancreatectomy was then performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Preoperative Workup 1.CT scan of the abdomen, pancreas protocol 2.Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology 3.Tumor markers (CA19-9 and CEA) 4.General labs including complete blood count, serum electrolytes, creatinine [csurgeries.com]

When these stipulations are not met, a high quality preoperative workup including MRI with MRCP and endoscopic ultrasound can often localize abnormal areas within a diseased pancreas, allowing for one of the subtotal pancreatectomy procedures to be performed [pancreas.imedpub.com]

• Multilocular Cyst

  Computed tomography showed a multilocular cyst, 40 mm in size, and a unilocular cyst, 20 mm in size, in the tail of the pancreas and gallstones. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
