Treatment & Procedures

Whipple Procedure

The Whipple Procedure, also known as Pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex surgical procedure used to treat pancreatic cancer, tumours of the ampulla of Vater, chronic pancreatitis, and other conditions affecting the pancreas, bile duct, and duodenum.

The liver is the largest internal organ performing several critical functions, and a liver transplant is usually referred to when it stops performing those functions because of chronic liver disease or sudden failure of a previously normal liver.

But the people waiting for a liver transplant exceeds the number of available donor livers. Hence, Manipal Hospitals Dhakuria welcomes family members or friends as they could make a good match and donate a portion of their liver. The human liver regenerates faster and returns to its original size soon after the surgery, and this makes a living-donor liver transplant the best option rather than waiting for a deceased-donor liver to become available.
