Cancer Pancreas

Pancreatic cancer is a serious disease. Patients develop complaints of jaundice, pain abdomen radiating to the back, itching, decrease in appetite, and weight loss. For patients with cancer pancreas, ampullary tumor, distal bile duct tumors, and duodenal carcinoma - the treatment of choice is surgery and the surgical procedure is Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy. Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major surgical procedure that consists of the removal of the gall bladder, bile duct, duodenum, and head of the pancreas. Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy is always fraught with various complications like bleeding (both during and after surgery) or pancreatic anastomotic leak. Dr. Ashish Sachan pioneered this procedure with his innovative techniques and can proudly say that the complication rate after pancreaticoduodenectomy after his surgery is less than 1% with excellent postoperative outcomes whereas the majority of the high volume centers in the world have a complication rate of 5% or more than 5%). He is also an expert in surgery of tumors with vascular involvement (involvement of SMV and SMA).
