A member asked:
Is the pancreas classified under endocrine surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, or another type of surgery?

Pancreaticobiliary : most bigger centers have a dedicated team for PBS (pancreaticobiliary surgey). In some cases, a general, gi or onc surgeon can be the one specializing in it as well.
