An innovative surgical technique called the robotic Whipple procedure offers a less invasive treatment option that’s yielding faster recovery times for patients. The procedure is most frequently used for patients with pancreatic cancer, but it can also be used to remove some cancers in the bile duct and intestines. In fact, the robotics platform, innovation and surgery at The James at Ohio State allows the experts to perform minimally invasive procedures that reduce operation risks, promote fast
