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.

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.
