Your Journey to a Whipple Procedure
Our oncology specialists provide expert care throughout every stage of treatment, from diagnosis and surgical planning to recovery and long-term follow-up.
- Consultation: Meet with our specialists to discuss symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, digestive difficulties, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, or other signs associated with pancreatic and biliary tract disorders.
- The Procedure: During a Whipple Procedure, the surgeon removes the head of the pancreas along with portions of the bile duct, gallbladder, duodenum, and, in some cases, part of the stomach. The digestive tract is then reconstructed to restore digestive continuity. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 4 to 8 hours.
- Recovery: Most patients remain in the hospital for 7 to 14 days following surgery. Recovery generally takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the patient's overall health and surgical complexity. Patients are advised to follow dietary recommendations, gradually increase physical activity, and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and recovery.
