A pancreatectomy can be indicated for conditions such as pancreatic stones, cysts, benign or malignant tumors, ductal obstructions, or chronic pancreatitis. It can be classified as '''total''', where the entire organ is removed, often along with the spleen, gallbladder, local lymph nodes, the common bile duct, and portions of the small intestine and stomach, or '''partial''', where the pancreas is resected from the mesenteric vessels distally, leaving the head and uncinate process intact.

A pancreatectomy can be indicated for conditions such as pancreatic stones, cysts, benign or malignant tumors, ductal obstructions, or chronic pancreatitis. It can be classified as total, where the entire organ is removed, often along with the spleen, gallbladder, local lymph nodes, the common bile duct, and portions of the small intestine and stomach, or partial, where the pancreas is resected from the mesenteric vessels distally, leaving the head and uncinate process intact.
