👉 Pancreatotomies are surgical procedures that remove all or part of the pancreas, which is an organ located in the small intestine. The purpose of this procedure is to treat conditions such as diabetes, gallstones, and certain types of cancer. The surgery involves making a hole in the abdomen through which the organ will be removed. This hole usually requires a long incision that can last up to several days, depending on how deep the hole is made and what tissues are being removed.
