Date of admission: 04 March 2021

Hospital Course/ Summary
A 63 years old male patient was diagnosed with duodenal mass and neuroendocrine
carcinoma. In September 2020, it was poorly differentiated, and in March 2021, it was repaired
by a procedure of Whipple surgery. When the tumor is located in the head of the pancreas, the
Whipple procedure is performed as it is a type of surgery used to treat cancer of the pancreas.
The pylorus, the entire stomach, and several centimeters of the upper duodenum are preserved in
this modified resection. In contrast, in a classic Whipple procedure, all of the lower part of the
stomach, neck, head, and uncinated part of the pancreas is removed.
On his personal automotive patient arrived from his home to cancer hospital. At the time
of admission, the patient was alert and oriented, and all his vital signs were within a normal
range. The appearance of the patient was stable, and his wife was with him. The patient's past
surgical history reveals that he underwent partial left nephrectomy in 2014, resection in 2005,
cystoscopy, 20 years ago antrectomy and reconstruction; seven years ago, he went through left
leg stent and bilateral cataracts.

Patient's condition at discharge
The hospital course of the patient progressed as expected. A complex surgical procedure
associated with prolonged stay in the hospital and high morbidity is rapid as
pancreaticoduodenectomy (Fujii et al., 2018). It is the surgical removal of part of the pancreas.
The length of hospital stay for multiple types of operations and the complications are reduced
after surgical principles due to enhanced recovery. The patient's postoperative pain was managed
by multi-modal therapy in which medications were administered by mouth before the patient is
5
discharged. When patients return to normal bowel functions, the nasogastric tube was removed,
and the patient was given tolerating diet. When the surgical output was acceptable, then the
surgical drain was removed. Before discharge, Jackson Pratt drainage was negative. Without

time of discharge, vitals and labs were stable. The overall condition of the patient is stable for
home discharge.

magnesium; phosphate will be drawn and evaluated due to previous lab draw revealed a low
RBC, H/H, platelet count, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, total protein, and albumin level

infections and sores in the wound can be prevented. Increase mobility gradually.
