Dissertation note: MEDICINE Research project Summary: Whipple operation is perhaps one the most technically challenging operations in the abdomen. The overall perioperative mortality rate is 2% to 5% and with operative mordibity of about 25% to 45%. In the past, minially invasive techniques were only used for diagnostic laparoscopy, staging of pancreatic cancer, and palliative procedures for unresectable pancreatic cancer. Recent advances in operative techniques and instrumentation have empowered laparoscopic surgeons to perform virtually all procedures in the pancreas, including the whipple procedure. Presented is the first case of Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple) in the Philippines.
