Whipple Procedure

The Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) is a complex surgical treatment for pancreatic, bile duct, and duodenal cancers. It involves the removal of the head of the pancreas, duodenum, gallbladder, and part of the bile duct. After removal, the digestive tract is reconstructed to maintain function. This surgery is life-saving but requires an experienced surgeon due to its complexity.
