What are some possible complications if the pancreas were removed from the body of a human?
If the pancreas were completely removed, the person would develop severe diabetes due to the lack of insulin production. They would require lifelong insulin therapy and close monitoring of blood sugar levels. Additionally, without the pancreas producing digestive enzymes, they would need to take enzyme supplements to aid in the digestion of food.
What type of enzymes would you need to take if the pancreas is removed?
After a Pancreatectomy you need a mechanism to replace the three main enzymes that the pancreas produces (lipase, prolapse, amalase). I use Creon 25 for this, two per meal, one taken before the meal and one half way through. This product is made from pig pancreas extracts and allows me to digest my food along with Insulin injections and bile from my liver.
What do you need to do if you have your pancreas removed?
Without a pancreas you will have Type-1 diabetes (as the pancreas produces the body's insulin supply) and will no longer have the ability to secrete key digestive enzymes. You would need to check blood sugar levels regularly throughout the day as well as administer insulin shots when needed. You would also have to take digestive enzymes before eating anything.
Can the pancreas be surgically removed?
Technically, it can be. Reasons for removing the pancreas might include cancer or trauma (such as a car accident). The pancreas is responsible for producing digestive enzymes and the body's supply of insulin. Without it, you would become a Type-1 Diabetic and would need to take insulin shots and digestive enzymes.
