About this study

Official title: Extended Pancreatic Neck Transection Versus Conventional Pancreatic Neck Transection During Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy( LPDEXCEPT): a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

The investigators conduct the clinical randomized controlled trial to evaluate the superiority of extended pancreatic neck transection during laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD). The participants in the study group obtain extended pancreatic neck transection during LPD, while participants in the control group conventional pancreatic neck transection. The purposes of this study include: 1.Primary objective: To compare the incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grades B-C according International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery) between the study group and the control group. 2.Secondary objective: To compare the incidence of postoperative morbidity (Clavien-Dindo score ≥3)between the two groups. To compare the location of pancreatic duct and the surgical performance of pancreaticojejunostomy between the two groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. the incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula

    the incidence of the clinically relevant pancreatic fistula according the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery's definition and grading

    Measured: 3 months postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. location of the pancreatic duct in the pancreatic transverse section

    Before performing the pancreaticojejunostomy, place the pancreatic transverse section in the central position of the lens. Measure the anterior-posterior diameter of the pancreas and the distance of the pancreatic duct from the back of the pancreas. The location of the pancreatic duct in the pancreatic transverse section is equal to the ratio of the distance of the pancreatic duct from the back of the pancreas to the anterior-posterior diameter of the pancreas.

    Measured: intraoperatively

  2. surgical performance of pancreaticojejunostomy

    the duration of pancreaticojejunostomy

    Measured: intraoperatively

  3. postoperative morbidity

    postoperative morbidity (Clavien-Dindo score ≥3)within 3 months postoperatively

    Measured: 3 months postoperatively

  4. postoperative mortality

    mortality within 3 months postoperatively

    Measured: 3 months postoperatively

Contact Bing Peng (+862862539242, pengbing84@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (time frame: 3 months postoperatively). 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 NCT05808894, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
