What are the risks and recovery expectations?
Risks include bleeding, infection, anastomotic leak, pancreatic fistula, and injury to nearby organs, though rates are low in experienced centers. Recovery involves a hospital stay of 8–10 days, with gradual return to normal activities over 6–8 weeks. Most patients resume a soft diet within weeks and receive ongoing nutritional support.
