The Whipple technique, also called a pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a difficult treatment to remove the pancreatic head, the duodenum, the gallbladder, and the bile duct. Whipple surgery is used to treat cancers as well as various bile duct, intestinal, and pancreatic conditions. The procedure is most frequently used to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread just to the head of the pancreas. Your surgeon performs the Whipple procedure and then reconnects the remaining organs so that you can resume normal digestion after surgery. The Whipple technique is a rigorous and challenging treatment that carries significant hazards. Your doctor may discuss more pancreatic surgeries with you, depending on your circumstances. If necessary, get a second opinion from a skilled surgeon. Options consist of: surgery to remove tumors or treat conditions in the pancreas' body and tail. Distal pancreatectomy refers to the surgical procedure used to remove the pancreas' left side (body and tail). Your physician could also need to remove your spleen during this treatment.
