Pancreatic Cancer Surgery

The most common procedure for pancreatic cancer is the <bb>>Whippleb>bb>> procedure, named for surgeon A.O. <bb>>Whippleb>bb>>, MD, who originated the technique in 1935.
William Traverso and William Longmire at UCLA Medical School described and popularized a technique in which the pylorus (the outlet from the stomach to the duodenum) and part of the stomach are preserved during a pancreaticoduodenectomy.
This procedure is performed in most patients depending upon the location of their disease.

Finding a surgeon (Steve Harris, M.D.)

Comment: It's true they don't do the <bb>>Whippleb>bb>> for big tumors, but that doesn't mean the person isn't ill in terms of having a very, very serious disease (pancreatic cancer, usually).
However, the surgeon >says that a <bb>>Whippleb>bb>> will be performed if local resection is not possible >(and the lesion turns out to be benign).
Palliative resection is indicated in patients in good general condition, as resection gives the best palliation and longer survival than other palliative methods.

MUSC DDC - Surgeries

It should also be noted that a <bb>>Whippleb>bb>> procedure is sometimes performed for benign disease in order to control pain from pancreatitis or to remove a premalignant tumor that may progress to invasive cancer with time.
Similarly, it should be noted that patients who have the <bb>>Whippleb>bb>> procedure for non-pancreatic cancers such as those arising in the ampulla vater, duodenum or the distal bile duct, will have five year survivals of about 40-50%.
In 1935, Allen O. <bb>>Whippleb>bb>> described an operation in which portions of the pancreas, duodenum and bile duct are removed to treat tumors of the ampulla of Vater.

Diet for Gallstones

Sometime, probably in this decade, a non-surgical cure for this disease will be found and the <bb>>Whippleb>bb>> procedure will disappear.
For those who wish to know, the <bb>>Whippleb>bb>> procedure is surgical removal of part of the digestive tract- almost always including part of the pancreas and sometimes part of the intestine, the gall bladder and other odd bits and pieces due to a tumor, usually cancer.
Learning low-fat cooking techniques and what specific foods to avoid to meet the low-residue component (some of the vegetable and whole-grain groups for the most part would be considered high-residue) would probably be adequate when combined with the low-sugar eating style to which they are already accustomed.

eMedicine - Protein-Losing Enteropathy : Article Excerpt by: Barry K Wershil, MD

Background: Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a pathophysiologic process that results in the loss of serum proteins into the gastrointestinal tract and has been identified as a subclinical component of a variety of other disease processes.
Protein loss from PLE must be differentiated from the loss of ingested proteins due to other disease processes, such as protein malabsorption.
This approach has identified a variety of conditions that have subclinical PLE as a component of the disease process.

Pediatrics: A Case of Protein-Losing Enteropathy Caused by Intestinal Lymphangiectasia in a Preterm Infant

Protein-losing gastroenteropathy includes nonulcerative diseases (eosinophil gastroenteritis and Menetrier's disease); ulcerative diseases (erosive gastritis and inflamed bowel disease); and disorders resulting from lymphatic obstruction (congenital intestinal lymphangiectasia and <bb>>Whippleb>bb>>'s disease).
Intestinal lymphangiectasia is a primary disorder in cases of malformation of lymphatic vessels at intestinal level or in other areas of the body.
Intestinal lymphangiectasia is characterized by obstruction of the intestinal lymphatic vessels and increased lymphatic pressure that cause PLGE and malabsorption of chylomicrons and fat-soluble vitamins.
