The procedure was done free of cost
A team of doctors from the Government Hospital, Mettupalayam, recently performed a complex pancreatic surgery on a 12-year-old girl from Annur.
The girl had been suffering from recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, vomiting and digestion related problems since her infancy.
She was diagnosed with a congenital condition called pancreatic divisum due to which her pancreas had developed as two different parts with separate draining ducts as against a single gland with a single major ductal system in normal case.
