Praise the Lord! The surgery was successful, and the lead surgeon confirmed that the cyst was completely removed. Initially reported as 4×4 cm, the cyst was actually around 10×10 cm due to its multilocular nature, with the largest portion located posteriorly. Although the cyst had a thick, tumor-like wall, it was not malignant. Fluid and tissue samples were taken for cytology and biopsy to ensure it is not cancerous.
The cyst was deeply embedded in the head of the pancreas and surrounded by numerous blood vessels. Thankfully, it was removed without damaging the pancreas. Joab is currently in the recovery room and still under the effects of anesthesia, but all his vital signs are stable. He will be moved to the ward once he regains consciousness.
Thank you all for your prayers for Joab. Please continue to pray for a smooth and quick recovery without complications.
