Filter by: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.
Very few papers examine the effect of living at high altitudes on surgical results of major operations. This research is designed to determine the surgical outcomes of PD for periampullary tumour in high altitudes and normal altitudes.
The impact of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) on morbidity and mortality associated with Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with peri-ampulary tumors is still controversial. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of PBD on surgical and oncologic outcomes after PD in jaundiced patients with operable peri-ampulary tumors.
Laparoscopic surgery has not changed much in safety compared with open surgery through many existing studies, and has become a procedure to help patients' recovery. Recently, laparoscopic surgery has been actively performed for pancreaticoduodenectomy, one of the most complicated procedures in intraperitoneal surgery. the investigators will perform a prospective study to establish a higher level of evidence for the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. The purpose of this study was to compare the short-term clinical outcomes including the functional recovery after surgery, complications and confirm that laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is safe and appropriate. This study includes an interim analysis and can be terminated early by analysis at the completion of 50% of planned patients.
A single-centre, randomised clinical trial of patients affected by periampullary cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomies which included two different types of specimen margination: arm A (multicolour inking) and arm B (monocolour inking). The randomisation of the specimen was made after the resection, blinded for the surgeons involved in the operation. The primary endpoint was the overall R1 resection rate and its difference between the two arms. The secondary endpoints were the R1 resection rate in each margin and its difference between the two arms, and the impact of margin status on survival. A sample size of 18 patients was required.
Currently, routine preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) was not recommended. However, PBD is still necessary in case of patients with cholangitis or very high level of bilirubin or patients who are expected to receive delayed surgery. The aim of this clinical trial is to demonstrate non-inferiority of uncovered self-expandable metal stent to plastic stent for PBD by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with periampullary cancer undergoing curative intent pancreaticoduodenectomy.
This study is a prospective, randomized study to compare of outcome of fully covered metal stents with that of plastic stents for preoperative biliary drainage in distal common bile duct cancer, pancreas head cancer or ampullary cancer with respect to the incidence of stent-related adverse events, the re-intervention rate, the effectiveness of biliary drainage, surgical outcomes and hospital stays.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD or Whipple procedure) involves the removal of the head of the pancreas and is the primary modality for treatment of peri-ampullary cancers (arising from the common bile duct, Ampulla of Vater, duodenum, neuroendocrine cells of the pancreas, and most commonly the exocrine pancreas). In Canada, cancer of the pancreas is the 11th cancer in terms of new cases/year, and the 5th leading cause of cancer related deaths/year. Following PD the remaining pancreas is re-connected to a portion of the gastrointestinal tract; the pancreas is very soft and difficult to sew and connect safely. The primary cause of complications following PD is related to leak occurring at this connection. Of patients that develop a leak, over half need a second operation, and up to 40% will die. The two main organs that the pancreas may be re-connected to are the jejunum or the stomach. The investigators will compare the rates of pancreatic leakage in two groups of patients randomized to reconnection to either the jejunum or stomach following PD. The goal of this study is to determine which of these methods is safer. The results may change practice patterns across North America and the world. It may in the future prevent many cases of avoidable leakage and the resulting morbidity of this including death. This will therefore reduce the morbidity and mortality of this group of cancer patients.
