As a surgical gastroenterologist, we understand the importance of knowledge and awareness when it comes to pancreatic diseases. The pancreas is a vital organ that plays a crucial role in digestion and maintaining blood sugar levels. Unfortunately, various diseases can affect this essential gland, leading to significant health challenges.

While most cases of Pancreatic Diseases can be managed with conservative treatments such as medications, lifestyle changes, and dietary modifications, there are instances where surgery becomes necessary to address certain complications or severe cases of the disease. Dr. Koushik Podduturi, a senior surgical gastroenterologist, specializes in the surgical management of Pancreatic Diseases, offering his expertise to patients requiring surgical intervention.

We offer expert surgical interventions for various pancreatic diseases, including:

1. Pancreatic Cancer: We provide surgical resection of pancreatic tumors using specialized procedures like Whipple procedure, distal pancreatectomy, or total pancreatectomy, tailored to the tumor's location and extent.
2. Pancreatic Cysts: Our surgical gastroenterologists perform procedures to remove or drain pancreatic cysts that pose a risk of malignancy or complications.
3. Chronic Pancreatitis: For severe and symptomatic cases, we offer surgical options such as partial pancreatectomy or drainage surgeries to alleviate pain and improve quality of life.
4. Acute Pancreatitis Complications: We manage complications of acute pancreatitis, including pseudocysts, abscesses, or infected necrosis, through drainage procedures or debridement.
5. Pancreatic Ductal Strictures or Stones: Surgical gastroenterologists use endoscopic or surgical techniques to remove stones and dilate strictures in the pancreatic duct.
