Study of past and future liver and bile-pancreas surgeries
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This is a research study using information from people who had certain liver, bile duct, and pancreas surgeries in the hospital’s surgical team. It aims to review surgical results and may help improve how these operations are done.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery by the hospital’s HPB (liver, bile ducts, pancreas) surgical team in the last 10 years (past records).
- Or you are scheduled for surgery by the same HPB surgical team starting January 2019 (future patients).
- You must be willing to provide informed consent if you are part of the future group.
- You must be eligible to receive the surgery your team recommends.
- You must be interested in participating in the study.

This study looks at what features of certain pancreas and nearby tumors or cysts might help predict outcomes. It uses existing medical records (and consent, if applicable) and may help doctors better estimate prognosis for patients in the future.
This study tracks how patients recover after having part of their liver or bile ducts surgically removed at a specialized center. Researchers will review medical records and follow-ups to understand which patients do well and identify ways to improve care.
This study looks back at people who previously had surgery to remove part of the pancreas or liver at a specific hospital. It aims to compare different resection (removal) techniques and how patients did afterward.
This study looks at tissue samples from people with bile duct, liver, or pancreas problems to develop better ways to detect cancers in these areas. If you are scheduled for a biopsy, scan, or surgery for a suspected growth in your liver, pancreas, or bile duct, you may be able to help.
This study uses a computer program to help doctors predict risks and outcomes for patients having laparoscopic liver or gallbladder surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan and manage your care before, during, and after surgery.
This study asks surgeons and surgical trainees about their experiences in liver, pancreas, and bile duct surgery fellowship programs. The survey helps improve training and understand what works best in these specialized programs.
