Whipple surgery Patient Reviews by Bookimed patients


After visiting Liv Hospital we had only good impressions. Dr. Selemi Suzubish - above all praise, he was very polite, correct, patient, answered all our questions in detail and explained. Also very satisfied with the work of coordinator Bakhtygul and translators Renata and Madina. It should be noted that the procedure for examination on a "steep" tomograph turned out to be very difficult and difficult for the child. In one reception we did not pass it, the second part was spent the next day. The results were announced to us the next day, we received the disk, but so far there is no research protocol. His Bakhtigul promised to send by e-mail.
The quality of the work of your coordinator Bookimed Konstantin Siminenko happy. We express our gratitude and gratitude to all!
Sincerely, Tatiana and Zlata Buturov city Izmail Odessa region.
После посещения Лив Хоспитал у нас остались только хорошие впечатления. Доктор Селеми Сузубиш - выше всяческих похвал, он был очень вежлив, корректен, терпелив, на все наши вопросы отвечал подробно и разъяснял. Также очень довольны работой координатора Бахтыгюль и переводчиков Рената и Мадины. Следует отметить, что процедура обследования на "крутом" томографе оказалась очень сложной и тяжелой для ребенка. В один приём мы её не прошли, вторую часть проводили на следующий день. Результаты нам озвучили на другой день, мы получили диск, однако пока нет протокола исследования. Его Бахтыгюль обещала отправить на эл.почту.
Качеством работы вашего координатора Bookimed Константина Симиненко довольны. Выражаем огромную благодарность и признательность всем!

İlgi çok iyi randevuya uyuluyor. Saatinde alınıyor doktorlar güleryüzle ve deneyimli insan gibi muamele görüyorsunuz kaliteli tavsiye ediyorum ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
the best hospital in Istanbul.
Arkadaşım dün gribal şikayetlerle size gelmiş ancak siz bir sağlık kuruluşu olarak :önce insan" demek yerine "yurtdışı öykünüz var" deyip devlet hastanesine yönlendirmişsiniz. Konu hastalığın bulaşmasıysa hastaneler hasta kaynıyor bulaşacak tek hastalık bu değil, önlem bu şekilde alınmaz. O zaman diğer bulaşıcı hastalarınızı da kabul etmeyin. Kapınıza hastanenizin hasta kabul kurallarını asın da insanlar ona göre gelsinler ve insan sağlığına ne kadar değer verdiğinizi(!) bilsinler. Bu durumu kendisi şahsi olarak sağlık bakanlığına bildirecek zaten benim burdan paylaşma sebebim ise olur da benzer şikayetle gslmek isteyen olursa boşuna zahmet etmesin, kapıdan çevrilmesin. Bir sağlık kurumuna yakışmayan bu hareketinizi, özellikle ülkece seferber olmamız gereken bir dönemde kınıyorum.
Özel hastanelerin genelinde görülen pahalılık durumu. Hele de Üniversite hastanesiyse daha da pahalı. Allah kimseyi herhangi bir hastaneye hastalıktan dolayı düşürmesin.
As a tourist you don't know what to expect when you're out of Australia. I got some mystery illness and the way I got treated, at Sourasky Tel Aviv Medical centre was outstanding, the speed, the ease, the cheerfulness were great. I’d particularly like to mention Dr Rana Matal. If you end up there do yourself a favour and ask for her. She’s excellent.
The best treatment, high professionalism, humanity, attitude towards patients is here and only here. Cardio department, you guys a deep bow for all your work, intensive care unit - thank you all very much, you are Gods, you are doing miracles, your professionalism is beyond praise.
Everyrhing is like a hospital supose to by... GREAT JOB.
Notaufnahme 12 Std.gewartet und durchweg unmotiviertes, unfreundliches Personal welches überhaupt keine Einfühlsamkeit zeigt. Der Job muss doch sowieso gemacht werden, warum nicht freundlich und mitfühlend? Auch dem Mitarbeiter würde es sicherlich dann am Ende des Tages besser gehen!Wo soll das bloß hinführen?
Danke bin Jahre lang da. Und bekomme kein Rezept mehr ohne Karte. Seid dem dr. Med. Schopmans da weg ist, gibt es keine gute Behandlung mehr.
Nette und gute Ärzte, wenig warte Zeit.

FAQ about Whipple surgery
The following conditions must be met for a patient to become eligible for the procedure:
- tumor localized in the head of the pancreas;
- cancer is not metastatic;
- removal of the tumor does not put a patient at risk.
Determining if a patient is eligible for the operation is a challenging task. Only the most advanced imaging techniques and best Whipple surgeons may provide an entirely accurate diagnosis. It is advisable to receive the second opinion on patient’s case with uncertain eligibility.
Indications and contraindications for Whipple surgery
Whipple operation is the only surgical method to treat tumor of the pancreas. The procedure is mainly performed in combination with chemo- and radiotherapeutic exposure. Besides cancer of pancreas, Whipple procedure is prescribed to patients with the following diagnoses:
- malignant tumor of the gallbladder;
- duodenal cancer;
- pancreatitis;
- bile duct cancer;
- small bowel cancer;
- ampullary cancer;
- neuroendocrine tumors.
There are following contraindications to the procedure:
Types of Whipple operation
Whipple surgery can be done in 2 ways:
- Open surgery method. This is the most commonly used technique. A surgeon makes an incision in patient’s abdomen to access the pancreas.
- Laparoscopic surgery. It is a minimally invasive variation of Whipple operation. The procedure is performed through several small incisions in patient’s abdomen. A doctor operates with special long instruments under control of optical camera. This technique puts patient’s body under less stress.
The procedures are performed in best hospitals for Whipple surgery by top Whipple surgeons.
Whipple surgery in details
Preoperative preparation for Whipple surgery
A patient is connected to intravenous line that supplies medicine and nutrition during the operation. An epidural catheter or spinal injection is administered. Medications delivered in that way block nerves in the abdominal area. This is done in order to prevent severe pain syndromes during recovery.
Surgery process
The invasion is performed by a team of physicians: top surgeons for Whipple procedure, nurses, and anesthesiologists. The surgery takes up to 12 hours to complete. A patient stays under general anesthesia the whole time. An operation starts when an incision is made in patient’s abdomen. After all affected organs are removed, a surgeon reconnects remaining intestines and pancreas to restore the functioning of digestive system.
After the surgery
In most cases, patients are placed in the general surgical unit after the operation. Patient’s vitals are monitored periodically to exclude complications and infections. The diet will be scheduled and advanced slowly, to restore the functions of the digestive system. Recovery time after the pancreaticoduodenectomy Whipple procedure takes up to 2 weeks.
If a patient’s condition is severe or there are complications during the surgery, a patient is rushed to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Nutrition and medications are delivered intravenously and patient’s vitals are constantly monitored. Catheters are used to drain urine and various fluids from the surgery area. Whipple surgery cost may increase due to the use of additional medications.
Before and after WHipple surgery
Rehabilitation
Patients are prescribed personal diet by a nutritionist. Rehabilitation lasts for 4-6 weeks on average. In most cases, additional care is not required after a patient is dismissed from a hospital. If patient’s state is concerning, they may be required to stay near the hospital to undergo check-ups. For some patients, it is advisable to rehabilitate in specialized facilities.
Outlook
Life expectancy for patients who underwent Whipple surgery depends on the particular case. On average, patients lead relatively fulfilling life post operation.
To counter some long lasting side effects, patients may be required to:
- stick to a strict diet;
- take insulin;
- take pancreatic enzymes to aid food digestion.
