A hypertensive, diabetic woman underwent a successful Whipple procedure at the age of 84 due to carcinoma ampulla Vater. She presented an extremely rare complication 24 months after surgery, consisting acute cholangitis multiple biliary lithiases associated with bilioenteric anastomotic stricture. The diagnosis was confirmed computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and ...

It is said that leaving intact the functional motor unit of the pylorus leads to better gastric emptying and reduces postoperative upper gut motility disturbances. However, despite obvious different surgical approach, both major pancreatoduodenectomies lead to substantial myoelectrical dysfunctions. The latter are not efficiently recognized. We compared Whipple and Longmire-Traverso procedures ...

The pancreaticoduodenectomy, commonly referred to as the Whipple resection, is the en bloc surgical resection of the pancreas head and uncinate process, duodenum, gallbladder, common bile duct, and common hepatic duct just proximal to the cystic duct takeoff with (conventional) or without (pylorus-sparing) the gastric antrum.

Whipple performed a twostaged pancreaticoduodenectomy that involved a biliary diversion and gastrojejunostomy followed by resection of the duodenum and head of the pancreas. In 1941, Whippl...
