Most surgery nowadays is safe however any operation has general risks including reactions to the anaesthetic, chest infections, blood clots, heart and circulation problems, and wound infection. In addition there are specific risks associated with pancreatic or neuroendocrine surgery as follows: • Bleeding may occur during the operation as these tumours are near large arteries and veins. This may lead to the need for a blood transfusion. • Fluids and enzymes can leak from the pancreas and form collections or may drain to the skin. • Any open surgical incision in the abdomen may be at risk of developing a hernia long after the operation.
