At Severance Hospital physicians carry out Whipple surgery in the Oncology Department. The operation is considered complex and lasts for 6-12 hours, depending on patient’s peculiarities. A team of surgeons operates on a patient who is under general anesthesia. A patient is transferred to the Intensive Care Unit after the procedure.
In-hospital stay after Whipple surgery rarely exceeds 2-week period. Patients may return to work within 4-6 weeks after the operation. Complete rehabilitation takes up to 3 months.
