Pancreatitis is pathologic swelling and inflammation of the pancreas. Your pancreas resides behind your stomach. It secretes enzymes that help you digest food and regulates how your body breaks down sugars. Pancreatitis can come and go quickly, or it can be a chronic problem.
Save. The pancreas is a large, long gland that's tucked away behind your stomach and close to the upper part of your small intestine. It's an organ you rarely think about, and one that's tough even for skilled surgeons to get to. But when your pancreas is infected, you'll know it. The pain can be unbearable.
