"Just returned from there
Just returned from there. Everything was top notch, and doctors, and the organization of the stay. It took 2 days from the first call to the bookmarked to my arrival in Milan. The next morning, consult a doctor. All questions were solved almost instantly, the results of all analyzes and studies were ready the next day. And constantly in touch with the coordinator Catherine and care worker Alexander. In my trips to the clinic, I was accompanied by a super translator Yulya Sukhneva. Thanks to the clear and professional work of Julia, Kati and Alexander, my stay was very short, I saved money on the hotel. The hotel, by the way, was excellent, up to the clinic, 200 meters. Yes, and more, the prices for consultations and analyzes are quite comparable with those in Moscow. I spent much less money than I thought at first. Thank you all!

Our Pancreatic cancer surgery Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Pancreatic cancer surgery , it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Whipple surgery

Whipple surgery, also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex procedure that removes parts of the pancreas, small intestine, and bile duct to treat pancreatic cancer.

Pros: Effective for removing tumors in the head of the pancreas. Provides a chance for a cure in localized pancreatic cancer cases. 20% survival rate at five years.
Cons: Long recovery time compared to distal pancreatectomy. Higher risk of complications, including digestive issues and diabetes.
Effectiveness: 50% success rate in achieving tumor-free margins.
Duration: 5-8 hours
Recovery: 6-8 weeks
Best for: Tumors in the pancreatic head, bile duct, or duodenum. Suitable for early-stage pancreatic cancer.
Prices: Cost of Whipple surgery in Italy from $19000

Distal Pancreatectomy

A surgical procedure involving the removal of the body and tail of the pancreas, often performed to treat pancreatic tumors.

Pros: Less invasive than the Whipple procedure, with a shorter operating time and reduced recovery period. Laparoscopic options available, reducing scarring and hospital stay.
Cons: Potential for diabetes if a significant portion of the pancreas is removed. Risk of spleen removal, which can affect immune function.
Effectiveness: 80% success rate in removing tumors with minimal complications.
Duration: 2-4 hours.
Recovery: 4-6 weeks.
Best for: Tumors located in the body or tail of the pancreas, non-metastatic pancreatic cancer, or cystic lesions.
