Patient's question:
My mother has always had a condition of liver enlargement and spleen enlargement. She started experiencing pancreatitis last year, and the doctor said it was caused by liver disease. Now we are planning to have her pancreas removed. I don't know what kind of aftereffects there might be after the surgery, or if she can even have the surgery. I also don't know what kind of interference the removal of the pancreas will cause in daily life, or how it will affect the liver.Doctor's answer:
The pancreas cannot be removed, you're thinking too simply... Your mother's liver and spleen enlargement has another reason, it's crucial to figure this out first... Liver and spleen enlargement is just a symptom, not a specific disease. Many conditions can cause this, such as chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, blood diseases, autoimmune diseases, and so on. As for the specific symptoms you're currently experiencing, you haven't mentioned a word about it. I don't know why you suddenly decided to remove the pancreas!!! True pancreatitis treatment can be completely recovered and improved significantly, while pancreas removal basically makes it impossible to live!
