Understanding Duodenectomy: Procedure, Recovery, and Lifestyle Changes

Duodenectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of part or all of the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. The procedure may be performed to treat various conditions such as cancer, ulcers, or inflammatory bowel disease.

After the procedure, the remaining portion of the small intestine is reattached to the stomach or the large intestine, depending on the extent of the resection. This can lead to changes in the digestive system and may require adjustments to the patient's diet and medications.
