Appleby may also be called "En bloc celiac axis resection" for pancreatic cancer. You can read more about its use at Mayo Clinic in this article:

Husband had the Appleby procedure Oct17. We were in hospital for 27 days as his insides were very slow to wake. We have some issues with what’s left of pancreas leaking so we’ve had to come home with a drain along with TPN at night . Drs were able to remove all the cancer and we are grateful! Recovery has been a beast. Looking for any advice on food, mental recovery. He has constipation no matter what, doesn’t really want to eat because of fear on how it will make him feel. He is a Vet who already struggles with PTSD
