A Whipple procedure, also known as a pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complicated operation that involves removing the pancreas head, the first section of the small intestine (duodenum), the gallbladder, and the bile duct. The Whipple surgery is used to treat cancers and other pancreatic, intestinal, and bile duct diseases. It is the most commonly utilized surgery to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to the pancreas's head. Following the Whipple procedure, your surgeon reconnects the remaining organs, allowing you to digest food normally. The Whipple technique is a difficult and demanding operation with significant hazards. However, for those with cancer, this operation is often lifesaving. Depending on your circumstances, your doctor may discuss different pancreatic surgeries with you. If necessary, seek a second opinion from a skilled surgeon. Among the options are: Surgery for tumors or abnormalities of the pancreas's body and tail. A distal pancreatectomy is surgery to remove the pancreas's left side (body and tail). Your surgeon may need to remove your spleen as part of this treatment.
