Frequently Asked Questions About Pancreas & Biliary Surgery
What is a Whipple operation and when is it necessary?
A Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) is the gold-standard surgical treatment for tumors or malignant growths located in the head of the pancreas, duodenum, or lower bile duct. It involves removing the pancreatic head, duodenum, gallbladder, and part of the bile duct, followed by precision reconstructions to restore digestive flow.
Can pancreatic surgery be done laparoscopically?
Yes. For suitably selected candidates with benign lesions, neuroendocrine tumors, or localized periampullary cancers, 3D laparoscopic Whipple and distal pancreatectomy offer significantly reduced blood loss, lesser wound discomfort, and accelerated recovery.
