A Whipple Procedure, or pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a major operation that removes the pancreatic head and nearby structures — typically the duodenum, gallbladder, part of the bile duct, and often the distal stomach — then reconstructs the digestive tract so food, bile and pancreatic juice can still pass.
