Omentum wrap to prevent leaks after Whipple surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if wrapping a flap of abdominal tissue (omentum) around the arteries during Whipple surgery (pancreaticoduodenectomy) can reduce the risk of a serious leak. It may help patients who have a higher fistula risk score (7 or more) during their open surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a short course of radiation before surgery can lower the risk of a pancreatic leak (a common complication). It is for people who are overweight, older than 45, and have a small pancreatic duct.
This trial looks at factors that can predict a serious complication called a pancreatic fistula (a leak from the pancreas) after a Whipple procedure. The goal is to help doctors better understand and manage this risk.
This trial compares two different ways to reconnect the pancreas during a Whipple procedure. It is for people with a soft pancreas and a narrow pancreatic duct. The goal is to see which stitching method leads to fewer complications.
This trial is testing whether draining the main pancreatic and bile ducts during a Whipple procedure can lower the risk of a pancreatic leak. The study focuses on people with a higher chance of this complication.
This trial tests if using antiseptic-coated stitches during pancreatic surgery can reduce the chance of a pancreatic leak (fistula) afterward. If you are scheduled for a Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy), this study may help improve your recovery.
This study tests whether washing the belly with fluid during surgery can lower the chance of a leak from the pancreas after a Whipple operation. If you are having this surgery for a tumor in the pancreas, bile duct, or nearby area, this trial may help reduce a common complication.
