The top part of the pancreas region


Explanation:
Direct translation is the high level of the pancreas, which in English doesn't have a perfect meaning, so (high level) would meant (the top part of the head of) pancreas. Another way of saying in Italian is: "a parte superiore dello cefalico"

Example sentence(s):
  • Another example could be " a livello dello stomaco
