About this study

Official title: Prophylactic Pancreatic Stent for the Prevention of Post Operative Pancreatic Fistula Before Segmental Pancreatectomy

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains one of the most harmful complications after pancreatic resection. Some studies have indicated that endoscopic pancreatic stenting was effective in the treatment of POPF. However, the results of prospective RCTs for the prophylactic effect of pancreatic stent insertion against POPF were controversial. This single center prospective randomized trial was designed to compare the outcome after segmental pancreatectomy with prophylactic drainage stent versus no stent.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative pancreatic fistula

    Grade B and C

    Measured: from postoperative day 3 to 30

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Severity of pancreatic fistula

    Grade B POPF requires changes in clinical management, such as persistent drainage, partial or total parenteral nutrition, antibiotics, enteral nutrition, somatostatin analogs, and/or minimal invasive drainage. Grade C POPF requires major changes in management, such as admission to an intensive care unit, reoperation, and/or an extended hospital stay.

    Measured: from postoperative day 3 to 30

  2. Length of stay

    Length of hospital stay

    Measured: from postoperative day 1 to discharge
