Success Rate

The five-year survival rate for Whipple's procedure is 25-35%, for case where lymph nodes are not involved. But in case of lymph node involvement the survival chances are very less.

As Whipple Surgery is about the removal of multiple organs, it takes about four hours for the surgery to take place. Recovery takes around 4-5 weeks, chances of long-term survival after a Whipple procedure depend on your particular situation. For most tumors and cancers of the pancreas, the Whipple procedure is the only known remedy.
