Re: Pancreatic Surgery and Biopsy

[Guest guest]

,

yes that make sense to me. When I had my Whipple done they did a frozen

section biopsy at the time of surgery. The First section of the pancreas

came back as an sign of early cell changes. They then did a larger

resection the the pancreas. It is best to make sure that there is health

tissue and organs, esp, when dealing with doing a big surgery like the

islet cell transplant.

Good Luck.

Take care,
