There are choices for this question namely: 

a) Total pancreatectomy
b) Cholecystojejunostomy
c) Radical pancreatoduodenectomy
d) Distal pancreatectomy

The correct answer is Radical Pancreaticoduodenectomy. This surgical procedure involves the dissection of the head of the pancreas as well as the duodenum and the stomach. The three structures will be joined together as to make the secretions of the pancreas, gall bladder (through the duodenum) and the stomach go be secreted on the middle portion of the small intestine. This reroutes the secretions to bypass the diseased parts of the organs.
