NCT05808894

Brief Summary

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with benign or resectable malignant tumors of the lower common bile duct, Vater ampulla, head or uncinate process of the pancreas.
  • years old \< age \< 80 years old, no gender limit.
  • Patient is expected survival beyond 3 months.
  • No pregnancy or pregnancy plan within 3 months after surgery.
  • Nutrition risk score \<3 according to the Nutritional Risk Screening for Inpatients 2002 (NRS2002) standard score.
  • No contraindication to surgery for anesthetic evaluation.
  • The subjects voluntarily joined the study and signed an informed consent form, with good compliance and cooperation with follow-up.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with borderline resectable and unresectable malignancies.
  • Patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
  • Patients with tumors exceeding the level of the gastroduodenal artery as measured by preoperative radiography.
  • Intraoperative exploration reveals tumor adhesions with portal vein-superior mesenteric vein, requiring revascularization and reconstruction.
  • Operation transfers to open.
  • Operation transfers to other procedure.
  • The main pancreatic duct can not be found intraoperatively, the duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy can not be operated.
