Filter by:This is a multi-site prospective, single arm, observational study examining the outcomes of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Pancreatoduodenectomy is the preferred surgical method for periampullary diseases. The most common complication is gastric emptying disorder, which often greatly affects the quality of life of patients and prolongs the length of hospitalization. There are few reports on the treatment of gastric emptying disorder with single method, poor continuity of curative effect and low level of evidence. This study is to explore the clinical efficacy and safety of ear acupuncture in the prevention and treatment of DGE after pancreaticoduodenal surgery. This study is divided into two parts. The first part is to study the clinical efficacy and safety of auricular acupoint embedding in preventing gastric emptying disorder after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The second part is to study the clinical efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture in treating gastric emptying disorder.
Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive malignant neoplasms with poor outcomes. Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is the only curative treatment for PC. Minimally invasive surgery has been progressively developed, first with the advent of hybrid-laparoscopy and recently with the total laparoscopy surgeries, but a number of issues are currently being debated, including the superiority between total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (TLPD)and the open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). Studies comparing these two surgery techniques are merging and randomized controlled trials (RCT) are lacking but clearly required. Methods/design: TJDBPS07 is a multicenter prospective, randomized controlled, trial comparing TLPD and OPD in pancreatic cancers. A total of 200 patients with pancreatic cancer underwent PD will be randomly allocated to the TLPD group or OPD group with an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pattern. The trial's aim is to exploring the overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS) and quality of life. The duration of the entire trial is seven years including prearrangement, a presumably five-year follow-up and analyses. Discussion: Despite the fact there are several RCTs comparing minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) and Open approach or LPD versus OPD. This trial will be the first comparing TLPD and OPD in a large multicenter setting. TJDBPS01 trial is hypothesized to assess whether TLPD has superiority over OPD in recovery and other aspects.
To date, pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the only recognized potentially curative therapy for malignant neoplasms located in the peri-ampullary region, and is increasingly being used for the treatment of cancer through the resection of the premalignant precursors for invasive carcinomas.Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most common complications associated with substantial clinical implications following PD, which significantly affects mortality rate, length of hospital stay, and overall hospital costs. Therefore, the prevention of POPF has always been a high priority for our group as well as other international surgical groups. In 1995, investigators' group established the Chen's U-stitch approach, which was a new technique of end-to-end invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy with transpancreatic transverse U-sutures after PD, and the preliminary results were quite encouraging at that time. Thus, investigators intend to conduct a multicentre, randomized, parallel-group controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the effect and safety of the new technique.
This clinical trial is about the survival benefit of extended lymphadenectomy and nerve clearance versus standard lymphadenectomy in pancreaticoduodenectomy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma，which is a multicenter，prospective，ramdomized clinical trials.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) includes en bloc resection of duodenum, head of pancreas, proximal jejunum, distal common bile duct (CBD), gallbladder, and distal stomach, which was followed by complicated reconstructions. Therefore, PD causes change of physiological functions, containing insufficiency of exocrine and endocrine pancreatic function, malabsorption of nutrients, impairment of gut peristalsis, and hepatic steatosis . On the other hand, DM may also resolve after PD in cases with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. From the study of bariatric operation, resolution of DM may occur even before body weight loss. Postulated mechanism of resolution of DM after bariatric operation included foregut and hind gut theory. Actually, both hindgut and foregut effects on sugar control are achieved to some extent after pancreaticoduodenectomy. First, most of the duodenum is routinely removed in PD and there will be no food passage through duodenum (foregut theory) after PD. Second, proximal 10 cm of jejunum will be removed in PD and another 30~ 40 cm- long jejunum will be brought up for pancreatic and biliary anastomosis, which will make the last enteral anastomosis (gastrojejunostomy or duodenojejunostomy) be created at site about 50-60 cm distal to Treitz ligament. Therefore, food will directly pass into distal jejunum (hindgut theory). In our preliminary study, 35% patients have resolution of diabetes after PD, especially for ones with new-onset DM. Further, a prospective randomized clinical trial will be conducted to address if modified distal gastro-/duodeno-jejunostomy results in a higher proportion of diabetes remission compared with standard PD.
The Whipple operation is a complex surgical procedure involving the removal of the head of the pancreas, bile duct, and a portion of the intestine (duodenum) that is performed for patients who have cancer or some other condition affecting this region of the body. The Whipple operation is associated with a significant complication rate. Previous studies have shown that in a broad range of surgical procedures, using a reduced amount of intravenous fluids along with a special type of fluid called hypertonic saline during and after the procedure can lower complication rates associated with the heart and lungs during recovery from surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine if using a reduced amount of intravenous fluids as well as hypertonic saline (a salt concentrated form of intravenous fluids) during the Whipple operation and in the immediate period after surgery can reduce complications.
