Named after a surgeon who worked at MSK in the 1940s, theWhipple Procedure(also known as pancreatoduodenectomy) is used to remove cysts in the head of the pancreas. In this approach, surgeons remove not only the head of the pancreas but also part of the small intestine, the lower half of the bile duct, the surrounding lymph nodes, the gallbladder, and sometimes part of the stomach.

==================
This c&p was about my pancreas surgery that ended up being a 6 month month hospital stay ending with necrotizing pancreatitis and liver disease. They went with endoscope and cut the wrong thing. It took over a decade and the BVA and 1151 claim to fight these crooks. He insisted there was no surgery for his report. I call it another page of dirty tricks used by VA C&P ! IMHO
I know this has been hashed over and while already adjudicated, well not quite done yet (still might have to file appeal, but my VA rep still tells me I have to wait until they get done denying me. I have until December 2020 to file a disagreement of their lowball 1151 percentage), but I have to live with it and constantly suffering thinking about all the B.S. the VA put me through for 20 years of the denied claims !
Yes
ACCORDING TO 3 SOURCES
PancreaticCystGastronomyPancreaticcystgastronomy is adrainageprocedurethat an advanced endoscopist orsurgeonmay use if apancreaticpseudocyst—a fluid-filled sac—develops in the abdomen and causes symptoms such as pain, the sensation of a full stomach, or vomiting.
The WhippleProcedure(also known as apancreatoduodenectomy) is used to removecystsin the head of thepancreas.Surgeonsremove the head of thepancreas; the duodenum, part of the small intestine; the lower half of the bile duct; the surrounding lymph nodes; the gallbladder, and, in some cases, the pylorus, part of the stomach.
Surgeryis often a good option for treating apancreaticcyst. Young, healthy patients may prefer this option todraining, as it is often the most effective approach. It is also usually the preferred method if a biopsy indicates thecystmay become cancerous.
