NCT06703905

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if traditional pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) combined with TRIANGLE (extended PD surgery) can increase disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with pancreatic head cancers compared to traditional minimally invasive PD. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does extended PD surgery increase disease-free survival (DFS)?
  • Does extended PD surgery could improve postoperative and long-term quality of life for patients? Researchers will compare extended PD surgery to traditional PD surgery to see if extended PD surgery could extend the survival time of patients. Participants will:
  • Accept traditional minimally invasive PD surgery or minimally invasive PD combined with TRIANGLE surgery.
  • Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests.
  • Keep a diary of their symptoms.

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • the rate of microscopically complete margin clearance

    Intraoperative

  • the rate of microscopic margin clearance ≤ 0.1 cm

    Intraoperative

  • the rate of microscopic margin involvement (R1) resections

    Intraoperative

  • the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula

    Day of discharge, postoperative days 5, 10-12 and 90

  • the rate of postpancreatectomy haemorrhage

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (7)

Patients scheduled for elective partial pancreatoduodenectomy (irrespective of neoadjuvant therapy); c. Assumed resectability in accordance with the surgical protocol for experimental and control intervention as judged by the treating surgeon; d. Ability of the subject to understand character and individual consequences of the clinical trial;e.Written informed consent; f. Age ≥ 18 years;
  • Intraoperative: a.No distant metastases; b.No paraaortic lymph node metastases; c.Intraoperative confirmation that the patient can be operated on according to both surgical methods.

You may not qualify if:
