Pancreas Related Issues

Pancreas Related Issues

Pancreas-related issues encompass a range of medical conditions that affect the pancreas, a vital organ located behind the stomach that plays a key role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. These issues can include pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cysts, pancreatic insufficiency, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Symptoms of pancreas-related issues may vary depending on the specific condition but can include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, weight loss, and changes in bowel habits.

At Manohari Super Speciality Hospital Urology & IVF Centre, led by Dr. Munikrishna. S and Dr. Harsha, our team of skilled surgical gastroenterologists specializes in the diagnosis and management of pancreas-related issues. Through advanced diagnostic techniques such as imaging studies (CT scans, MRI), blood tests, endoscopic procedures (ERCP), and biopsy analysis, we strive to accurately diagnose pancreas-related conditions and develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

Treatment for pancreas-related issues may vary depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. In cases of acute pancreatitis, treatment may involve supportive care, pain management, intravenous fluids, and dietary modifications to allow the pancreas to heal. Chronic pancreatitis may require long-term management with medications, lifestyle changes, and interventions to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

For pancreatic cancer or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these modalities to achieve optimal cancer control and improve patient outcomes. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates closely to provide comprehensive care and support to patients with pancreas-related issues, ensuring that they receive the most effective treatment options and personalized care throughout their journey.
