Removal of the Entire Pancreas

Michigan rates for HCPCS 48155

Removal of the whole pancreas, the gland behind the stomach that makes digestive juices and the hormones that control blood sugar. The digestive tract is then reconnected so food and bile can pass through normally. Because no pancreas is left, insulin and digestive enzyme replacement are needed for life afterward.
