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.
