Does removal of the tail of the pancreas and the spleen affect survival?

Survival of pancreatic body tail and spleen resection cannot be generalized, but is generally judged according to the cause of the disease requiring removal of the pancreatic body tail and spleen. 1. In case of pancreatic body tail cancer, radical surgical resection is required. In case of early pancreatic cancer, after removing the tail of the pancreas and the spleen, the 5-year survival rate is about 60%; if symptoms such as abdominal pain occur before seeking medical treatment, the disease may have already spread and entered the middle or late stage, and the 5-year survival rate may only be 5%. 2. In case of benign pancreatic tumors, such as islet cell tumors, adenomas, lipomas, fibrous tumors, etc., if it is necessary to remove the tail of the pancreas and the spleen, after surgical resection and treatment, it will have no significant effect on the survival period, which is consistent with that of normal people. After resection of the tail of the pancreatic body, review, diet and activities should be carried out as prescribed by the doctor, and any abnormality should be reported to the healthcare provider immediately.
