Summary: Pancreatic fistula is one of the most serious complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. To reduce pancreatic fistula, many authors recommend different techniques in pancreatojejunostomy. The purpose of this study is to determine which is the best method in preventing pancreatic fistula by enforce pancreaticojejunostomy with tissue glue and to investigate its long term clinical outcomes.

Summary: This phase II trial compares the effect of rectus sheath block with liposomal bupivacaine to thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) on pain control in patients following surgical removal of all or part of the pancreas and duodenectomy (pancreatoduodenectomy). Administering long acting local anesthetics, such as liposomal bupivacaine, in between the muscle layers of the abdomen (rectus sheath block) may...

Summary: The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether primary total pancreatectomy with simultaneous islet autotransplantation compared with pancreatic head resection (alone) can reduce perioperative morbidity and time to initiation of adjuvant therapy in patients with a high-risk constellation for pancreatic fistulas.

Summary: Design of the study Prospective, single arm, multicentric, phase II open trial Number of participating sites 14 French centers of HPB Surgery departments associated with 14 Radiation Oncology Departments. Implementation of the study A screening of eligible patients will be made locally by the referring surgeon of each centre based on patient medical records. * Inclusion visit at the first surgical...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of antiseptic-coated sutures is better than the use of the standard sutures in preventing postoperative fistulas within 90 days after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Summary: This is a monocentric, prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). The study aims to determine the morbimortality of the laparoscopic approach compared to the gold standard open approach in adult patients with pancreatic or periampullary lesions.

Summary: Pancreatic fistula is one of the most serious complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. To reduce pancreatic fistula, many authors recommend pancreatic stent in pancreatojejunostomy. The purpose of this study is to determine which is the best method in preventing pancreatic fistula and to investigate its long term clinical outcomes.

Summary: The PANENCA trial aims to reduce postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (also known as a Whipple procedure), a complex surgical operation performed to remove tumors located in or near the head of the pancreas. One of the most frequent and serious complications after this surgery is postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), a leakage of pancreatic fluid from the sur...

Summary: This randomized controlled trial investigates the safety and efficacy of injecting N-butyl-2- cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl®) into the pancreatic parenchyma during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) to enhance the security of the pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) anastomosis and reduce postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rates.

Summary: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has poor prognosis due to high recurrence rates after standard pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The concept of Total Mesopancreas Excision (TMpE), analogous to total mesorectal excision, aims to improve oncological outcomes by achieving higher R0 resection rates through the comprehensive removal of retroperitoneal connective tissue surrounding major peripancrea...

Summary: To assess the efficacy of complete covering using retromesenteric omentoplasty vs. partial covering or no covering of peripancreatic arteries in decreasing incidence of grade B+C post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH), i.e. treated by transfusion and / or radiological or surgical hemostasis after PD in patients with high risk of POPF.

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if total removal of the pancreas is a preferable alternative to partial removal in patients with cancer of the pancreatic head who are at high risk of pancreatic leakage. The main question it aims to answer is: Does total pancreas removal improve survival without reducing quality of life compared to partial removal? The only study specific procedures are...
