The following description is a generic description for the category and does not necessarily reference all the services/ procedures offered by The LPB Surgery Group.

The pancreas is a small but vitally important organ that lies across the back of the abdomen behind most of the other organs in your stomach. When the pancreas is inflamed (e.g. acute pancreatitis) it often causes pain, this is usually felt in the central or upper part of the abdomen and is often associated with back pain. The pain may be sharp, aching or burning in nature. A General Surgeon deals with a range of conditions and cancers that may require either open or laparoscopic surgery.
