Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) has seen significant evolution over the past two decades.
  • Historically, this major abdominal operation carried high risks and limited applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the advancements in pancreaticoduodenectomy over the last 20 years.
  • To analyze the factors contributing to improved outcomes and discuss future directions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of trends in mortality, resectability, and survival rates.
  • Discussion of contributing factors such as center specialization, critical care, and surgical expertise.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in operative mortality rates.

  • Increased rates of tumor resectability and promising early evidence of improved long-term survival.
  • Established effectiveness of pancreaticoduodenectomy for palliative care.

    • Conclusions:

    • Improvements in surgical technique, perioperative care, and centralization have transformed pancreaticoduodenectomy.
    • Further prospective trials are needed to optimize specific technical aspects, such as pancreaticojejunostomy.
    • The procedure is now more accessible and effective for a broader patient population, including for palliation.
