| description | The History Maker paper focuses on the extraordinary revolution that dramatically improved the surgical results for the Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) in the 1980s and identifies Dr. Cameron as the leader of this revolution, who reported a mortality rate of approximately 1%. The revolutionary reduction of postoperative mortality for the Whipple procedure was achieved by adherence to gentle and precise Halstedian surgical techniques with adequate drainage of pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis with closed-suction silastic drains, along with the development of high-volume surgeons and hospitals. Excellent teamwork in patient care, including but not limited to preoperative evaluation by multidisciplinary teams, intraoperative communication between surgeons and anaesthesiologists, and postoperative management, contributed to a successful Whipple procedure. |
