About this study

Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD), a surgical option for nonpancreatic periampullary adenocarcinoma (NPPA), is a complex procedure that has become increasing popular. However, there is no consensus as to whether this technique should be performed routinely. Our aim was to evaluate the outcomes of LPD compared with open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD).

Being tested
Conventional open pancreaticoduedectomy, Total laparoscopic pancreaticoduedectomy

What participants receive

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

  • Conventional open pancreaticoduedectomyProcedure or surgery

    Fifteen patients in Group A had a traditional open pancreaticoduedectomy.

  • Total laparoscopic pancreaticoduedectomyProcedure or surgery

    Fifteen patients in Group A had a total laparoscopic pancreaticoduedectomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in comparison to open surgery

    Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is a complex procedure that has become increasing popular. However, there is no consensus as to whether this technique should be performed routinely.

    Our aim was to evaluate the outcomes of Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy compared with open pancreaticoduodenectomy.

    Measured: in 2 years between 2023 - 2025

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional open pancreaticoduedectomy and Total laparoscopic pancreaticoduedectomy in people with Periampullary Carcinoma, run by Theodor Bilharz Research Institute 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 6 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 23 Feb 2026. 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?

The incidence of pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in comparison to open surgery (time frame: in 2 years between 2023 - 2025). 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 NCT07388082, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Feb 2026.
