The pancreas sits deep behind the stomach, and surgery here demands real precision. At PSRI Hospital, our gastrointestinal and onco-surgery consultants plan pancreatic procedures after a combined review by the tumour board, the gastroenterology team, and the intensive-care unit. We treat pancreatic cancers, cystic tumours, neuroendocrine growths, and complications of chronic pancreatitis. A plan is not final until imaging, biopsy results, and a patient’s nutritional status have all been studied together.

A Versius Robotic System assists surgeons during complex resections, and modular intra-connected operating theatres let the team move straight from scan to surgery without leaving the sterile zone. Our NABL-accredited laboratory runs 24×7, so intra-operative pathology reports arrive fast. For families seeking pancreatic surgery in Delhi, that combination — a single campus with advanced imaging, a dedicated GI surgery team, and round-the-clock critical-care backup — makes a difficult diagnosis slightly easier to face.

Our Treatments


Pancreatic surgery starts well before the operating table. A patient referred to PSRI Hospital first goes through contrast-enhanced CT or MRI, tumour markers, and a nutritional work-up. The tumour board then decides whether the tumour is resectable, borderline, or locally advanced. That decision shapes everything that follows — from the surgical approach to the sequence of chemotherapy and radiation. We routinely handle Whipple procedures, distal pancreatectomies, total pancreatectomies, and bypass operations for inoperable obstructive jaundice.

Most pancreatic resections are major abdominal procedures, and recovery leans heavily on the critical-care team. Our separate MICU, liver transplant ICU, and 24x7 blood bank stand ready for the post-operative phase. A clinical dietitian and a pain-management specialist join the ward round daily. A patient who has just had an Appendix Surgery in Delhi may recover fast, but pancreatic surgery is a different scale — and our teams plan for that difference from day one.

Key Pancreatic Surgery Procedures


A pancreatic operation is not one fixed event. It is a chain of decisions — starting with resectability, moving through the incision and the resection margins, then into reconstruction and post-operative monitoring. PSRI Hospital's GI surgery unit performs the full range of open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted pancreatic procedures, and every case begins with a tumour-board review that includes a radiologist, a medical oncologist, and a surgical gastroenterologist. The procedure you need depends on the tumour's location, its relationship to the mesenteric vessels, and your overall physiological reserve.

Pancreatic Conditions We Treat


Pancreatic surgery is a core part of the hospital's General & Laparoscopic Surgery and onco-surgery programmes. The conditions below range from aggressive malignancies to benign cysts that still need a meticulous operation. PSRI Hospital's multi-slice CT scanner and MRI help distinguish one from the other before a single incision is made, and the NABL-accredited lab processes tumour markers around the clock so decisions are never delayed by a long wait for a blood result.

When to See a Pancreatic Surgeon?


You may need to consult a pancreatic surgeon if obstructive jaundice, unexplained weight loss, or new-onset diabetes appears alongside mid-back pain that does not settle with rest.

Obstructive Jaundice

Mid-Back Pain Not Relieved by Rest

Unexplained Weight Loss

New-Onset Diabetes After 50

Persistent Nausea After Eating

Pale, Floating Stools

Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis

Abdominal Mass on Imaging

Persistent Itching with Jaundice

Loss of Appetite with Early Satiety

Deep Vein Thrombosis Without Cause

Family History of Pancreatic Cancer

A pancreatic surgeon in Delhi can review these symptoms alongside a triple-phase CT scan and endoscopic ultrasound to confirm whether surgery is indicated. At PSRI Hospital, the tumour board sees the images before you meet the surgeon.

Our Team of Experts


Our GI and onco-surgery team draws surgical gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, interventional radiologists, and intensivists into one room before a scalpel touches the skin. A pancreatic case at PSRI Hospital is first reviewed by the tumour board, then staged with in-house imaging, and only then scheduled in a modular operating theatre with a dedicated anaesthesia team. The patient gets a single written plan that covers the procedure, the likely post-operative course, and the nutritional support timeline.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)


The cost of pancreatic surgery in Delhi typically ranges between Rs. 3,87,000 and Rs. 9,46,000. The final figure depends on the type of resection, whether it is open or robotic, the length of ICU stay, and the tumour stage. A written estimate is provided after the tumour board review at PSRI Hospital.

A Whipple procedure typically takes five to seven hours in the operating theatre. This includes the resection of the pancreatic head, duodenum, and distal bile duct, followed by three separate reconstructions to restore digestive continuity. Post-operative recovery in the ICU usually extends over two to three days.

Yes, PSRI Hospital uses the Versius Robotic System for selected pancreatic resections, including distal pancreatectomies. Robotic assistance gives the surgeon a magnified, steady view and finer instrument control, which can mean smaller incisions and a shorter hospital stay for some patients.

Most patients stay in hospital for seven to fourteen days after a major pancreatic resection. Full recovery, including regaining pre-surgery energy levels and digestive function, often takes six to eight weeks. A dietitian guides stepwise reintroduction of foods starting with clear liquids.

No, only tumours in the head or uncinate process of the pancreas need a Whipple. Lesions in the body or tail are treated with a distal pancreatectomy, and small functional neuroendocrine tumours may be removed by enucleation, sparing the surrounding pancreatic tissue.

Pancreatic surgery carries specific risks including pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, bleeding, and infection. At PSRI Hospital, a dedicated surgical ICU team monitors for these complications continuously, and the NABL-accredited lab provides same-day reports to guide early intervention.

Yes, selected patients are candidates for laparoscopic or robotic-assisted pancreatic surgery, which uses several small keyhole incisions instead of a single long midline cut. The tumour board decides eligibility based on tumour size and proximity to major blood vessels.

Pancreatic surgery is a major multi-organ resection requiring reconstruction of the bile duct, stomach, and pancreatic duct, whereas gallbladder removal is a shorter single-organ procedure. Pancreatic operations carry a longer recovery, a mandatory ICU stay, and a much higher metabolic impact on the patient.
