Clinical trials: Distal Pancreatectomy
Pancreas Cancer, Pancreas Disease
Intra-operative Application of HEMOPATCH to the Pancreatic Stump to Prevent Post-operative Pancreatic Fistula Following Distal Pancreatectomy
Despite improvements and advances in pancreas surgery, about 30-35% of patients who have pancreas surgery develop a type of complication called a pancreatic fistula.

- PATCH-DP (NCT03410914)
- Testing
- Hemopatch

Pancreatic Fistula
Prospective Trial Evaluating the Effect of Closed Suction Drainage Versus Straight Drainage After Distal Pancreatectomy
A very common complication following distal pancreatectomy is leakage from the pancreas, or what is called a pancreatic fistula.

- Jackson-Pratt Drain, Non-suctioning drainage
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 2 people

Distal Pancreatectomy
TissueLink Versus SEAMGUARD After Distal Pancreatectomy
The purpose of this research study is to find a lowest leak rate following a distal pancreatectomy (removal of the left side of the pancreas).

- Testing
- SEAMGUARD with bioabsorbable staple, TissueLink with radiofrequency ablation
- Where
- 2 sites in United States
- Volunteers
- 68 people

Pancreas Tumor, Pancreatitis
Pancreas Resection With and Without Drains
This randomized prospective trial is designed to test the hypothesis that pancreatectomy without routine intraperitoneal drainage does not increase the severity or frequency of complications within 60 days of surgery.
- Trial name
- NCT01441492
- Testing
- No Drains, Drains
- Where
- 14 sites in United States, Canada
- Volunteers
- 399 people
