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.
Ask the Expert: Pancreatic Surgeon Barish H. Edil, MD, FACS. The Whipple Operation is called a pancreaticoduodenectomy in medical terms. It takes the name âWhippleâ from the New York surgeon Allen O. Whipple who was the first in the United States to describe the procedure. It is performed very differently today than it was back in the time of Dr. Whipple.
