Depending on the patient's condition and the extent of the disease, a doctor may recommend other types of pancreatic surgery in Singapore. These may include: 1. Distal Pancreatectomy This type of pancreatic surgery involves the doctor removing the tail and body of the pancreas. 2. Total Pancreatectomy In this form of pancreatic surgery, the entire pancreas is removed if the cancerous cells have spread to other parts of the organ. Patients without a pancreas are able to live normally, but they must take insulin and enzyme replacements. 3. Vascular Reconstruction This involves the surgical removal and replacement of a portion of the blood vessels. It is recommended for patients who cannot undergo the Whipple procedure due to tumours near blood vessels.
