Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 19 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with soft pancreas and pancreatic duct diameter ≤ 5 mm (15 Fr), who underwent the classic pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple) procedure for cancer pancreas. Supporting pancreatico-gastrostomy with buttressing sutures was used. It is an anastomotic modification by supporting it with trans-pancreatic and full-thickness gastric wall transverse mattress U- Shaped sutures to fix the posterior gastric wall envelope around the pancreatic stump, to alleviate any tension on the Pancreatico-Gastrostomy sutures.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient diagnosed with resectable cancer head pancreas.
  • Soft Pancreas.
  • Small pancreatic duct diameter.

Who cannot join

  • Unresectable cancer pancreas.
  • Non soft pancreas.
  • Dilated pancreatic duct.

About this study

Official title: Buttressed Pancreatico-Gastrostomy for Soft Pancreas With Small Pancreatic Duct Diameter in Whipple Procedure. A Retrospective Cohort Study

Post-operative pancreatic fistula after Pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure, is still a major complication that might be affected by pancreatic stump reconstruction technique. More than 60 techniques were published in literature. Soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct size were major risk factors for post-operative pancreatic fistula. Supporting Duct to Mucosa Pancreatico-Gastrostomy with trans-pancreatic transverse mattress U- Shaped sutures is a new and safe technique for decreasing the risk of post-operative pancreatic fistula in high-risk patients.

Post-operative pancreatic fistula after Pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure, is still a major complication that might be affected by pancreatic stump reconstruction technique. More than 60 techniques were published in literature. Soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct size were major risk factors for post-operative pancreatic fistula. Supporting Duct to Mucosa Pancreatico-Gastrostomy with trans-pancreatic transverse mattress U- Shaped sutures is a new and safe technique for decreasing the risk of post-operative pancreatic fistula in high-risk patients.

The authors used this technique in pancreato-gastrostomy. Data were collected, tabulated and analyzed to evaluate the new technique and its impact on the incidence of post-operative pancreatic fistula.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Fistula, run by South Valley University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every 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?

Post operative Pancreatic Fistula (time frame: up to 5 days (from time of surgery to time of detection of post-operative pancreatic fistula)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05682768, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 12 Jan 2023.
