Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about intestinal microbiome structure and function in individuals who have undergone a pancreatoduodenectomy and compare to healthy matched controls. The primary objectives of the study are: 1. To explore and describe any differences in the gut microbiota especially Shannon diversity index 2. To conduct functional profiling by exploring and describing any differences in functional metabolites produced in the gut in people having had pancreatoduodenectomy greater than 6 months ago compared to healthy matched controls. Participants will be asked to complete the following: - Three-day food, bowel and medication diary (see Protocol appendix 5) - Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (see Protocol appendix 6) - Quality of life questionnaire (see Protocol appendix 7) - Stool sample test using Microba Insight TradeMark (a small swab is taken from soiled toilet paper, sealed in a room-temperature storage capsule and mailed to the testing laboratory)
After the Introduction of the pathological circumferential resection margin (CRM status by LEEPP Protocol), residual cancer (R1 resection) was most often found in the dorsal and medial resection margins. Yet only the medial resection margin is preoperatively evaluated during staging, while the dorsal resection margin which embeds the mesopancreatic fat and thus resembles the area of the mesopancreas, is not considered during preoperative assessment for resectability. Local recurrence is similarly prevalent as systemic relapse, and revised lower rates of R0CRM- resections through the LEEPP protocol explained the poor local tumor control. The aim of this study is to interdisciplinary approach the circumferential infiltration status of the PDAC concentrating foremost on the mesopancreas of the dorsal resection margin by including anatomic and embryologic derived perspectives.
Pancreatic cancer is extremely malignant, with a low sensibility to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and a poor prognosis. Surgical treatment is very important for pancreatic cancer. Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy is a standard radical procedure we are going to compare and discuss the advantages of 2D and 3D Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy in our RCT study.
