Following a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy), several reconstructive procedures are typically performed to restore gastrointestinal continuity. These include creating a pancreaticojejunostomy to connect the remaining pancreas to the jejunum, a hepaticojejunostomy to connect the bile duct to the jejunum, and a gastrojejunostomy to connect the stomach to the jejunum. These reconstructions are essential for proper digestion and bile flow after the removal of the pancreatic head, duodenum, gallbladder, and part of the stomach.
