  b. Distal Pancreatectomy: Distal pancreatectomy involves the removal of the body and tail of the pancreas, typically for tumors located in those regions.
  c. Total Pancreatectomy: Total pancreatectomy involves the complete removal of the pancreas and is performed in cases where the cancer has spread throughout the organ or in certain high-risk situations.
