Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Pancreaticoduodenec tomy is an extensive procedure performed on patients with carcinoma of the head of the pancreas or the ampulla of Vater. A gastrointestinal setup is used for this procedure. The abdominal cavity is exposed through one of several possible anterior incisions, but a long right paramedian incision is usually made.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Gallbladder disease is cured by the removal of the gallbladder. It relieves gastrointestinal distress in patients with acute or chronic cholecystitis (with or without gallstones) or recurrent sepsis.
