Near-Total Pancreas Removal, Duodenum Spared

Utah rates for HCPCS 48146

Removes nearly all of the pancreas while deliberately leaving the first stretch of small intestine, the duodenum, and its blood supply untouched. Sparing the duodenum avoids the larger rebuild of the stomach, bile duct, and intestine connections that a wider removal would need. It is used for disease affecting most of the gland, such as long-standing painful inflammation.
