What is Whipple Surgery?
Whipple surgery involves removing the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, a portion of the stomach, and the gallbladder. The remaining organs are then reconnected so you can digest food normally. This is a major operation. It’s used to treat various pancreatic, bile duct, and duodenal cancers. It can also treat some pre-cancerous conditions.
What to Expect at Anadolu Medical Center
Before surgery, you’ll have an MRI of the abdomen. This helps the surgical team plan the procedure. The standard package includes nine days of hospital stay in a regular ward with a companion allowed. You will also have one night in the intensive care unit (ICU) for close monitoring. The clinic provides a free English-speaking interpreter and free airport and hotel transfers.
