A Whipple procedure, also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex surgery often used to treat pancreatic cancer. During this operation, the surgeon removes the head of the pancreas, parts of the small intestine (duodenum), gallbladder, and bile duct. Sometimes, part of the stomach and nearby lymph nodes are also taken out. The goal is to eliminate cancerous cells and prevent their spread. After removing these parts, the surgeon reconnects the remaining organs to help with digestion. While it's a major surgery with risks, it can be life-saving for patients with certain types of cancer. Recovery involves a hospital stay and a gradual return to eating regular foods, but many patients can resume daily activities over time.
