Surgical operations on the pancreas

For malignant tumors affecting the duodenum, head of pancreas, and the distal (bottom end) of the bile duct, the Whipple operation is the standard of care and the procedure of choice. The Whipple operation is also frequently performed for benign (non-cancerous) disorders that affect the bottom end of the bile duct, duodenum, or head of pancreas. While in some patients the extent or nature of disease may require a Whipple operation, alternate procedures that preserve some of the organs removed during the standard whipple operation may be an option in other patients.
