Comparing two types of surgery for pancreatic tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two different surgery methods for removing tumors in the pancreas area. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for patients who are eligible for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a tumor in the pancreas or nearby area that can be removed with surgery.
- The tumor has not spread to other parts of your body.
- The tumor is not pressing on major blood vessels in a significant way.
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before the surgery.
- You are healthy enough to undergo surgery (no major heart or lung problems).

This study looks at how safe and effective robot-assisted surgery is for removing tumors in the pancreas or nearby bile ducts. It aims to help people who are eligible for this type of surgery.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery called laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy to remove certain cancers in the pancreas, bile duct, or nearby areas. It may help patients whose cancer has not spread and can be fully removed with surgery.
This trial compares two ways to reconnect the intestines after surgery to remove the head of the pancreas. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer complications and better recovery.
This trial compares two types of surgery to remove tumors that start near the pancreas but not in it. The goal is to see if a newer, less invasive method works as well as the standard approach, which may mean fewer cuts and a faster recovery.
This study compares two ways of doing pancreaticoduodenectomy (a major surgery to remove parts of the pancreas and nearby tissue): minimally invasive (often smaller incisions) versus open surgery. It may help clarify which approach works best when the cancer looks potentially removable.
This study compares two surgeries for pancreatic cancer: laparoscopic (keyhole) pancreaticoduodenectomy and open pancreaticoduodenectomy. It aims to see which approach leads to fewer complications during recovery.
