Trial summary

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a challenging procedure itself, being even more complex and demanding in emergency settings. Only a few cases of emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy (EPD) are reported in medical literature, usually performed for complex pancreaticoduodenal lesions. Read more about this study

About this study

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a challenging procedure itself, being even more complex and demanding in emergency settings. Only a few cases of emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy (EPD) are reported in medical literature, usually performed for complex pancreaticoduodenal lesions. EPD has first been mentioned in trauma settings, even fewer cases being reported for non-traumatic indications. The investigators intend to present our experience with this intervention, in a non-trauma surgical centre. Our study is a prospective consecutive case series, that included patients that underwent emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy from January 2014 to May 2021. Data was collected from the electronic system database. The investigators collected data regarding the demographic characteristics of the patients, their medical history, preoperative and postoperative investigations (including blood work and imagistic investigations), surgery related information and postoperative evolution.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • emergency pancreaticoduodenectomyProcedure or surgery

    Emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy (EPD) is a complex surgical procedure, that can be performed for complex pancreaticoduodenal injuries, that cannot be controlled through less invasive procedures. EPD can be performed either as a classical Whipple procedure, or as a pylorus-preserving procedure. A one stage procedure implies the reconstruction step being done in the same surgical intervention, while a two step procedure implies the reconstruction being done in a later stage, through a second surgical intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative blood loss

    ml of blood

    Measured: The length of the surgical intervention (an average of 3 hours)

  2. Operative time

    minutes of operating time

    Measured: The length of the surgical intervention (an average of 3 hours)

  3. In-hospital Morbidity

    Measured: Up to 90 days. Through study completion, during the hospital admission period

  4. In-hospital Mortality

    Measured: Up to 90 days. Through study completion, during the hospital admission period

  5. Long-term evolution

    It will be measured the overall survival time, number of readmissions and number of reinterventions

    Measured: The date of the last follow-up information was August 2021

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Emergencies and Pancreas Disease, run by Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intraoperative blood loss (time frame: The length of the surgical intervention (an average of 3 hours)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Dec 2021.
