  1. its depend on expertise and experience of a surgeon.  Normally 2-3 hours excluding pre op preparation


  2. Most of the pancreatic surgery I've seen is very involved (like a Whipple procedure) and takes all day (6-8 hours).

    It does depend a lot on the surgeon.  Some are quick, some are slow.    It also depends a bit on the patient.  Obese patients always take longer, because any abdominal procedure becomes more difficult.  Older people tend to have fragile tissue, which can cause problems as well.

  3. Consult your surgeon.
