I am scheduled to have a distal pancreatectomy, Splenectomy, and cholecystectomy in two weeks. There are two tumors on my pancreas, and they are planning to remove the lower part of my pancreas. I have been told the surgeon will put in a drainage tube. How long will the drainage tube have to stay in? What is the procedure to remove it?
