Operation Whippie's Operation

Whipple's Operation is a surgical procedure to remove the pancreas or part of it. Also called pancreatectomy.

The Whipple procedure is performed for diseases of the pancreas such as pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis or cysts. During surgery, the surgeon removes the head of the pancreas, part of the duodenum, bile duct, and, in some cases, part of the stomach. The remaining organs are then joined together to restore digestion.

The Whipple procedure is a complex and lengthy operation. It is performed to eliminate diseases of the pancreas and restore the normal functioning of the digestive system. Despite its complexity, this treatment method provides good results with proper patient selection and a high level of surgical skill.



The Whipple procedure, also known as the Whipple procedure, is one of the most complex and serious surgical procedures performed in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The essence of this operation is to remove the tumor and its metastases, as well as the part of the pancreas where they originated.

The Whipp procedure was developed by American surgeon Charles Raymond Whipple in 1954. It includes removal of the pancreas and adjacent tissue, removal of the gallbladder, and, if necessary, removal of part of the stomach and duodenum to avoid the formation of metastases in these organs. During surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are used to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence



The Whippala operation is performed less and less these days.

In recent decades, preference has been given to laparoscopic Minor surgery. Pancreatectomy is the complete removal of the pancreas. The organ is small in size, but it contains a sufficient number of important cells and enzymes. To restore vital activity, after complete removal it becomes more difficult for the remaining organs to cope with the increased volumes of secretion from the pancreas, liver, and stomach. Therefore, doctors face a difficult choice: to carry out surgical treatment aimed at eliminating the factors that provoke the disease. But is this possible with a small volume of the affected area? When is it better to resort to surgery with the maximum extent of organ resection? In case of pancreatitis, which is caused by damage to the stump of the gland, ultrasound aspiration is performed, focusing both on the patient’s condition and other factors, and on the clinical picture of the disease. Treatment may be limited to conservative therapy with gradual restoration of the functional activity of tissues. If the cause is penetration of pancreatic juice
