| | It should also be noted that a Whipple 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 Whipple 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 either instance, patients can have a good quality of life following a Whipple procedure. |

| | Diet for Gallstones |
| | Sometime, probably in this decade, a non-surgical cure for this disease will be found and the Whipple procedure will disappear. | | | For those who wish to know, the Whipple 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. |
