In Teknon Hospital surgeons perform Whipple operation in the Oncology Department. Only the most experienced surgeons can carry out this procedure. A patient stays under general anesthesia during the operation. The procedure lasts up to 12 hours. After the surgery, a patient is transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for recovery. Complete rehabilitation takes 10-12 weeks to complete.
Physicians at Teknon Hospital practice multidisciplinary approach, composing personal treatment plans for each patient.
Whipple surgery Patient Experience Reviews
From the minute I was inquiring about an appointment through to an entire 2 hours of tests, I felt completely taken care of. Being in a foreign country where it’s not your first language can be daunting when needing healthcare.
My healthcare navigator Leen was so wonderful. She brought me to each doctor or department, got me situated and was also my translator. She was kind, compassionate & so incredibly helpful. I was incredibly grateful to have her by my side.
I saw Dr. Bassols who was incredibly warm, knowledgeable and put my fears at ease. The other technicians were also wonderful and caring.
I highly recommend the staff and care I received at Centro Medico Teknon and the team from bookimed that connected me to them. Thank you everyone!!
