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.
My heart goes out to you and your family. Pancreatic surgery, if they do it, is a long, long operation. Did they tell him where the tumor is and did they check his liver at all? They have what they call a Whipple procedure they can do to remove a mass I believe from the tail of the pancreas but this is no guarantee and is pretty dangerous. For you and your family's sake, I hope it is benign and can be treated.
