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.
Patients undergoing a Whipple procedure are typically hospitalized for up to a week. Relatively few pancreatic cancer patients are candidates for the Whipple procedure. To be considered, patients must have a tumor that is confined to the head of the pancreas and has not spread or metastasized beyond the pancreas.
