Filter by:The aim of this study was to reduce the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy by using different pancreaticojejunostomy methods according to the position of the pancreatic duct.
Postoperative pancreatic fistula is one of the most serious complications after gastric cancer surgery and can lead to surgery-related death. Postoperative pancreatic fistula for gastric cancer often occurs in accidental injury of pancreas during peripancreatic lymph node dissection, blunt separation of pancreatic capsule injury, laparoscopic instrument clamp and long-term compression of pancreas, etc. TissePatchTM is a synthetic, self-adhesive, absorbable surgical sealant and barrier used to seal and reinforce wounds and prevent leakage of air, blood, and fluid during neurosurgery, spine, chest, and soft tissue surgery. Therefore, we proposed whether the use of TissuePatchTM can reduce the occurrence of pancreatic fistula after gastric cancer surgery, and the clinical trial of the effectiveness of TissuePatchTM on the prevention of pancreatic fistula after radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer can provide new clinical data for the prevention of pancreatic fistula after gastric cancer surgery, and help reduce a series of adverse reactions caused by pancreatic fistula in patients.
Distal pancreatectomy (DP) with or without splenectomy is commonly indicated for pancreatic body or tail lesions. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains the commonest complication after DP. A pre-operatively placed pancreatic stent across papilla can decrease the pressure gradient between pancreatic duct and duodenum. Therefore, the pancreatic juice flow is redirected from the pancreatic transection plane and leakage from pancreatic stump is much reduced. This study aims to evaluate whether pre-operatively placed pancreatic stent can prevent POPF by a randomized controlled trial.
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the main driver of surgical morbidity after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). The aim of the present study is to compare total pancretectomy (TP) and primary pancreatic anastomosis (PA) in a cohort of extremely high-risk patients, with regards to postoperative outcomes and quality of life (QoL).
The project aims at analysing prognostic and predictive factors involved in diagnostics and surgical treatment of cysts and tumors in the pancreas and periampullary region using both clinical data and blood and tissue samples for biomarker development and validation.
Patients who are diagnosed with periampullary cancer will be performed pancreaticoduodenectomy with 3 types of pancreatic-jejunal anastomosis reconstructions. The investigator will analysis the complication of pancreatic fistula about: the clinical symptoms, laboratory test changing, intra-operative morphology, the risk factors
This multi-site study will be done across Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Department at Cho Ray Hospital and University and Pharmacy Center. Patients who are diagnosed with periampullary cancer from August 2021 to August 2023 will be underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. We will follow-up for their pancreatic fistula and bleeding complication and analysis some risk factors.
This phase II trial studies the effect of botulinum toxin (Botox) in preventing postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a known risk of distal pancreatic surgery, in which leakage of pancreatic digestive liquids causes internal swelling that can be painful (termed inflammation). A valve-like muscle, called the Sphincter of Oddi, opens and closes, controlling the flow of digestive liquids from the liver (bile) and pancreas (pancreatic juice) to the small intestine (duodenum). After surgery, the Sphincter of Oddi may act to block the flow of normal pancreatic secretions, causing secretions to leak into the abdomen resulting in POPF. Botox is a drug that can cause paralysis of muscles. Giving an injection of Botox into the sphincter of Oddi before distal pancreatic surgery may reduce leakage of digestive fluids and potential POPF.
Pancreatic cancer is an aggresive type of cancer with poor mean survival rates despite improvements in chemotherapy regimens and advances in surgical techniques. Surgery is the only therapeutic option with an intend to treat. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is indicated for malignancy in the pancreatic head as well as other periampullary tumors. One of the most fatal complications after Whipple operation is postoperative pancreatic fistula as a result of pancreatojejunostomy leakage. Various risk factors for pancreatojejunostomy leakage have been proposed, while there are others less studied.
Background: postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains the most important morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). There is no consensual technique for pancreatic reconstruction and many surgeons use a transanastomotic drain. Currently, the stents used are not degradable and they can cause obstruction, stricture and pancreatitis. The use of biodegradable stents that disappear a few months after the intervention could have a role in the prevention of pancreaticojejunostomy complications. Material and method: A single-center prospective randomized study was planned with patients undergoing PD. A duct-to-mucosa end-to-side anastomosis is performed for the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and the stent is placed from the pancreatic duct to the jejunum. The primary outcome of the study is the evaluation of the presence of POPF (drainage fluid amylase value of > 5000 U/L on the first day).
