There are the basic complications of any surgery: bleeding and infection.  Surgery on the pancreas has the extra risk of leakage of pancreatic enzymes.  If a Whipple was done, then multiple things were cut and re-connected, so leakage at any of the cut sites is possible.  I hope he gets better.

I think you may mean whipple for pancreatic cancer.\n\nWHIPPLE procedure: A surgical procedure in which the head of the pancreas, the gallbladder, part of the stomach, part of the small intestine, and the bile duct are removed. Enough of the pancreas is left to produce digestive juices and insulin.

Could be.  Everybody reacts to surgery different.  I would ask a Doc just in case.

Wow. That sounds horrible. I would suggest talking to someone on your medical team about this, they should be helping you with rehabilitation or any medical concerns that are a result of your surgery.\nDo you have access to a physiotherapist in relation to your surgery, surely they could suggest ways you can help your balance, I'm sure loss of balance must occur from time to time after this type of surgery?\n\nI wish you luck. I recently had breast cancer and had to have surgery and chemotherapy and radiation and I can empathise with having to deal with the after effects of this.\nIf this is cancer related, do you have a 'cancer society' that will help you, in terms of support and getting you information? In my country we have the cancer society who help people who have had cancer.\n\nall the best, and remember your spirit and your faith will get you through.\nLOVE LIFE\n\nxx

I agree with Kedney. However, I think you should also mention it to your oncology care staff. The odor you are experiencing may be the signs of something else.

Any surgery can have side effects. See if you can get a copy of the operative report. Ask your surgeon: were there any adhesions? any complications during surgery i.e. bleeding or any gallbladder wall or gallstones left behind? Any spillage of the stones? What is the chance of getting a hernia from the incision(s) and or ports. Is it possible a stone was missed in the liver or a stone migrated out of the gallbladder before it was removed?  Were there any studies done to confirm no stones left behind, i.e. cholangiogram? Can I get an ultrasound for this painful area? Ask the surgeon if any further studies can be done, i.e. HIDA scan to see if you have sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.

I had mine removed in May this year via keyhole surgery. No complications i was out of hospital after 24 hours. But i have still had to be carefull with the amount of fat in my diet as my body has not adjusted to not  having a gallbladder so doctor suggested a very low fat diet this sometimes happens after gallbladder removal i am told, but otherwise he will feel sooooooo much better more energy and of course none of that terrible pain. After surgery he will have some pain in the shoulder this is normal due to the nerves they bump on the way. The surgeon will explain that sometimes it is not possible remove via keyhold and they will abandon this method and do a full cut meaning a longer stay in hospital. But most cases even those like mine with a vast amount of gallstones can be taken out via keyhole, so dont worry he'll do just fine :) good luck Oh yes i forgot he will probably have very loose stools for a wee while but this passes with a carefull diet plan

It depends on why the "superpubic catheter" was placed and your individual anatomy after any surgeries and your disease process. Best talk to your MD.

Yes you can. Both the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas can be replaced. The exocrine function can be replaced with dehydrated bovine and swine pancreas collected from slaughter houses, the supplement would digest your food for you!

I have heard about the side effects since they are actually lifting up your cornea during the surgery and if you get accidently hit in the eye or head possibly could slip before totally healed. thats why I had PK done instead,I went from glasses to 20/20 in both eyes.no side effects

Your surgeon should have gone over how you eat before the surgery. If he didn't, call his office and get that information immediately. You never should have consented to the surgery without full understanding of what life afterward would entail.\nMy friend had it and she said she would do it again; she lost over 100 lbs.

of course i am not a doctor but i have heard that a lot of times if you have surgery to remove a cancerous tumor a pieces can break off and circulate throughout the body.

Call your dentist have it checked out,  haveing a post operative complication is part of the extractions risk .  He would much rather see you for a question than for an infection.  \n\nCall soon
