According to Charles J. Yeo, MD, the Samuel D. Gross Professor and Chair of Surgery at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, patients choose Jefferson for several reasons: the high volume of pancreatic and related surgeries performed, a highly skilled and experienced group of gastroenterologists, experienced clinical staff, cutting-edge research and a “patient-centric” approach to care delivery.
As Dr. Yeo explains, “For patients, there are no oncologic downsides to the mini-Whipple, but there are plenty of upsides, including preservation of the entire stomach and pylorus, a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications. We target a post-operative stay of less than one week and achieve this goal with most patients.”
