A pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, Whipple procedure, or Kausch-Whipple procedure, is a major surgical operation involving the removal of the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, the proximal jejunum, gallbladder, and part of the stomach.
Coding Clinic instructs coders to assign 52.7 Radical pancreaticoduodenectomy, for the Whipple procedure. The pancreaticojejunal anastomosis (e.g., pancreaticojejunostomy), choledochojejunal anastomosis, and gastrojejunostomy are inherent to the procedure and included with this code assignment.
