Sun Speciality Clinic, Coimbatore offers advanced pancreatic cancer surgery under the expertise of Dr. K. Balu (Surgical Gastroenterologist & HPB Oncosurgeon). Pancreatic cancer occurs when abnormal cells develop in the pancreas, an organ responsible for producing insulin and digestive enzymes. Symptoms often include abdominal or back pain, unexplained weight loss, jaundice, loss of appetite, nausea, and digestive difficulties. At Sun Speciality Clinic, we provide comprehensive care for pancreatic cancer, from early diagnosis and staging to surgical treatment and post-operative recovery. Our clinic specializes in laparoscopic, robotic, and open pancreatic surgeries, including Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy), distal pancreatectomy, and total pancreatectomy.
Surgery is often combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or targeted therapy, using a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the best outcomes and long-term survival. With years of experience in HPB oncology and minimally invasive surgery, Dr. K. Balu ensures precision, safety, and improved post-operative recovery.
