Whipple operation revisited.
Whipple operation revisited. New Jersey medicine : the journal of the Medical Society of New Jersey Spain, D. A., Greco, R. S. 1990; 87 (1): 41-44Abstract
The Whipple procedure traditionally is associated with an operative mortality of 20 to 25 percent. As a result, percutaneous and endoscopic techniques have been advocated to alleviate symptoms in patients with periampullary carcinoma.

Since radical pancreaticoduodenectomy is the only treatment for cure, a re-evaluation of the role of this procedure is warranted.
