Where is whipples surgery done in India?

Dr Subash Gupta
Surgical Gastroenterologist,
Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi

Q: My uncle has been diagnosed positive for tumour at the head of the pancreas. Whipples surgery has been advised by the doctors in Pakistan. Please recommend a well reputed whipples surgery facility with an experienced surgeon in India?

A:Since our centre at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital does a lot of pancreatic surgery, I have no hesitation in recommending Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for this operation. The operative mortality is less than 5% which compares very well with the best centres in the world. There are other centres as well but my preference will be Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
