WHIPPLE PROCEDURE METHODS

Hello,

I am writing you hoping to get an answer from you in the upcoming days.
I have a close family member, male, 34 years old who has the Frantz tumor, or the papillary pseudo tumor of the head of the pancreas. We went to 2 doctors who advised us to do the Whipple procedure.

Question 1:
Both doctors gave me 2 options of the procedure of the same surgery. I checked this a bit on the internet and see that are at least 4 different methods for analysis of Whipple. What I am asking you please is which is most advantageous method for you?
I have attached a file with three methods I know of.
I would appreciate if you can refer to any method benefits disadvantages.

Question 2:
In addition, is the method Lfrskopia Whipple surgery (to prevent ugly scarring) recommended over the standard surgery of a 25cm cut of the belly?

Question 3:
How would one deal with scars after the surgery, to reduce their appearance and help to grow hair in the area?


Very urgent issue, waiting for your response ...
Thank you,
zohar.
