Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate a new pancreaticojejunal (PJ) anastomosis procedure named "One-layer duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy" in pancreatoduodenectomy, which could provide a feasible option to pancreatic surgeons for patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy.
A very common complication following distal pancreatectomy is leakage from the pancreas, or what is called a pancreatic fistula. We hypothesize that operative drains which create suction may contribute to the development of leakage from the pancreas. This study evaluates the effect of using non-suctioning drains to prevent the development of this complication.
Pancreatic fistula (PF) grade C, defined by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) is associated with a life-threatening complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD). Therefore, The aim of this study is to clarify the risk factors for grade C PF by Japan and Taiwan cooperative project.
Dividing pancreas when performing left-sided resections opens the risk for leakage from the divided end of the pancreas. Pancreatic juices could have a severe effect on surrounding abdominal tissues with abscess formation producing systemic inflammation and potential lethal bleeding. Proper drainage of pancreatic juices is the primary treatment. Effective drainage reduces healing time. A pancreatic stent could theoretically improve the drainage of pancreatic juice into the duodenum and by this shorten the healing time still further. Pre operative prophylactic stenting of the pancreas before division of the parenchyma has not shown a positive effect on fistula formation. In an open randomized multicenter clinical trial we want to test the hypothesis that a reduced fistula healing time, in left sided pancreatic resections, could be reduced by introducing a pancreatic stent when on post operative day 3 or later a B och C fistula (according to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula, ISGPF) is diagnosed by randomizing between pancreatic stent with drains versus only drains.
Dividing pancreas when performing left-sided resections opens the risk for leakage from the divided end of the pancreas. Pancreatic juices could have a severe effect on surrounding abdominal tissues with abscess formation producing systemic inflammation and potential lethal bleeding. Studies have shown that reinforcement of the staple line when dividing pancreas could reduce the risk of leakage. Surgisis (COOK Medical) a product already in use for staple line reinforcement in gastric and lung surgery could be used as a reinforcement when stapling pancreas in left sided resections. In a prospective randomized trial we want to compare Surgisis reinforcement to no reinforcement of stapled division in left sided pancreatic resections. Primary outcome is pancreatic fistula yes/no.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether finnish binding pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis is feasible and prevents the risk for post operative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreeatectomy.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD)is the treatment of choice for patients with periampullary tumour (benign or malignant). In the recent years, the mortality rate of PD has decreased to 5% in many centers. However, pancreatic fistula (POPF) still occurs in 5 % to 40% of patients after PD. The hypothesis that isolated Roux loop PJ with isolated pancreatic drainage decrease the incidence of PF and severity with preservation of pancreatic function. So the investigators compare isolated Roux Loop Pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) Versus Pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) as regards incidence of POPF, severity of POPF and functional outcome.
The aim of this study is to compare the closure rate of pancreatic fistula (PF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) under various types of nutrition.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a surgical procedure for removing cancer in the pancreas, the bile system or the duodenum that is associated with a high rate of complications. The study wants to investigate whether a new technique to reconstruct the joint between the pancreatic gland and the short bowel can reduce the rate of severe complications after this complex surgical procedure.
Patients that have undergone pre-operative radiation for pancreatic carcinoma, that upon pathologic examination of the normal portion of the pancreatic gland that was in the radiation field showed acute and chronic changes in the pancreatic cells. The hypothesis for utilizing stereotactic radiation on pancreatic fistulae is that the treatment will decrease pancreatic secretions, thus decreasing autodigestion.
