Surgery to remove cancers of the liver, pancreas, bile duct and gall bladder, including the Whipple operation for the pancreas.
Pending doctor checkPart of the liver can be removed safely, and what remains grows back. For cancer at the head of the pancreas, the Whipple operation (pancreaticoduodenectomy) removes it with part of the bowel and bile duct, then reconnects them. Where tumours involve major blood vessels, these can be removed and rebuilt in the same operation. Many of these operations can be done by keyhole or robotic surgery.
People with cancers of the liver, bile duct, gall bladder or pancreas, and cancers that have spread to the liver from the bowel, after scans show the tumour can be removed.
