my uncle is having pancreas infection and got the surgery done twice to remove the infection but still not cured.he was treated in Surat and now moved to Saifee hospital,Mumbai under treatment from Dr Prasanna Shah.What are the chances of being cured?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. It would have been great had I examined your uncle on my own.What I can make out from your description is that your uncle may be suffering from chronic pancreatitis with calcifications and dilated pancreatic duct. Chronic pancreatitis can be treated by medications like pancreatic enzymes like Creon and surgeries like Bestows operation, Whipple's operation, distal pancreatectomy depending on the percentage of pancreas involved. I would suggest you to write back to us with a more detailed history, a bit of O. T note, last CENT abdomen. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your uncles good health.
