Has anyone had a Whipple Procedure?

Thank you for asking!
Pylorus-Preserving Pancreaticoduodenectomy AKA whipple procedure .
This procedure's success depends on the expertise of the performer and a lot of precautionary measure and perioperative techniques. Also the extent of the tumor and the nature of the mass. Following things as precautions can reduce the mass
Thorough preoperative evaluation, as discussed in Periprocedural Care
Intravenous antibiotics for cholangitis or biliary sepsis
Prophylactic mechanical bowel preparation
Sequential compression devices for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prevention
Preoperative biliary decompression if delay to surgery or preoperative cholangitis
Nasogastric decompression
Promotility agents, selective serotonin receptor antagonists, pancreatic enzyme replacement
