HOLY GRAIL

Patient with deep jaundice secondary to biliary obstruction
This lady is not possessed! She has a problem that is the surgeon's holy grail of operations-operable cancer of the head of the pancreas. While we don't like our patients to half terrible diseases, most surgeons do like interesting cases. This patient will require a Whipple procedure which we plan in 3 days time. Drs. Mike and Uche will come to NCH and we will do the procedure together.
