Antibiotics after pancreatic surgery for patients who had a bile stent
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics for a longer time after pancreatic surgery helps prevent infections. If you had a stent placed to drain bile before surgery, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

This trial tests whether giving antibiotics before a procedure that drains fluid from a pancreatic cyst reduces the risk of infection. If you are scheduled for this procedure, the study aims to see if the added antibiotics are helpful.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics before liver or bile duct surgery can prevent wound infections in areas where bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics. You would receive antibiotics as a preventive measure and be monitored for any surgical site infections.
This study tests whether a shorter course of antibiotics after Whipple surgery works as well as the standard longer course to prevent infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and side effects.
This trial compares a standard length of preventive antibiotics versus a longer course after Whipple surgery to see if it lowers infection risk without causing extra side effects. It targets people considered higher risk for contamination of bile during surgery.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics with a special liquid nutrition feed after pancreatic surgery can lower the chance of getting an infection. If you are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to join.
This study checks if the standard dose of an antibiotic (piperacillin/tazobactam) reaches effective levels in the blood during major liver or pancreas surgery. The goal is to improve infection prevention after surgery.
