Surgery

If your pancreatic tissue is damaged or severely affected, your doctor might perform surgery to remove part of this organ. In some rare and serious cases when the condition progresses, a part of your stomach, the whole gallbladder, and pancreases must be removed. The length of recovery might depend on the surgery’s scope, often from one to three weeks of hospitalization. After the operation, you should also have a bland diet and take enzyme supplements to speed up the healing process. [2]
