Dilated pancreatic duct: What to do?

Posted by geraldine1961 @geraldine1961, May 7, 2023

Hi I had surgery to remove Episiatric hernia 10 days ago All was well until I had intense pain on Friday and I have infection and fluid under the incision. Incidental finding in CT scan shows 4 mm dilated duct on pancreas. Other symptoms include pain upper right abdomen and extreme nausea. I have strong antibiotics for infection. Should I be considered at this stage . Thank you

I’m glad he has good doctors at Mayo Jax. I’m scheduled to see Dr Michele Lewis on Wednesday. I’m encouraged to hear that the GI team there is top notch. Although I had an endoscopic ultrasound and my current doctor confirmed the dilation but found no tumor I still want a second opinion. They were in and out of the procedure in 15 min and took biopsies of normal stomach, esophagus and duodenum. Electing not to do a biopsy of the pancreas due to possible complications that an FNA could cause. However, this is not an area I want to wait and see on. Especially since no follow up for one year as suggested.
