Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Surgical Oncology
  • Pancreatic Surgery Outcomes

Context:

  • The Whipple procedure (duodenopancreatectomy) is a major surgical intervention for pancreatic head pathologies.
  • Assessing outcomes in a consecutive series is crucial for surgical practice.
  • This study evaluates a single-center experience over a defined period.

Purpose:

  • To report the outcomes of duodenopancreatectomy (Whipple's operation) in a consecutive patient cohort.
  • To analyze indications, complications, and mortality associated with the procedure.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Whipple procedure, including its variants.

Summary:

  • Fifty-four patients underwent the Whipple procedure between 1989 and 1993 with no in-hospital or 30-day mortality.
  • Malignant tumors, primarily pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, were the main indication (n=41).

  • Postoperative morbidity was 39%, with common complications including delayed gastric emptying and bleeding, all managed successfully.

    • Impact:

    • The study supports the use of the Whipple procedure, even in advanced malignancies, due to its low mortality rate.
    • Findings contribute to the understanding of surgical risks and benefits in pancreatic cancer treatment.
    • Highlights the importance of early intervention for managing postoperative complications.
