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 sometimes part of the stomach. The digestive tract is then reconstructed to restore normal digestive function. 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 after surgery. Recovery generally takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the patient's condition and overall health. Patients are advised to follow dietary recommendations, gradually increase activity levels, take prescribed medications, and attend follow-up appointments to support healing and recovery.
