Before the surgery can be performed, the following steps would be taken:

Tests: Tests including blood tests, endoscopic ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, PET scan may be suggested to you. 

Biopsy: A small portion of your tissues will be taken and examined before the surgery.

Nutritional support: Most patients may need urgent nutritional support so that the surgery can be performed.

Firstly, you will be given anesthesia which will keep you in a sleep-like state, throughout the surgery. 

The surgeon will begin by making an incision in your abdomen region. The exact site of the incision will depend on the type and purpose of surgery performed. The incision will allow the surgeon to access your internal organs. 

In a Whipple procedure, the head of the pancreas, the beginning of the small intestine, gall bladder, and bile duct will be removed. 

If the procedure is distal pancreatectomy, the surgeon will remove only the body and tail of the pancreas.

• You will be asked to remain in the hospital for monitoring purposes

• Your nutritional intake will be checked and a dietary plan would be made

• You are suggested not to smoke
