Study on blood enzyme levels after pancreas surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks if high levels of a certain enzyme (called amylase) in the blood after pancreas surgery can help predict recovery and complications. The goal is to improve patient safety after the operation.

This study tests whether giving insulin after pancreas surgery helps patients who didn't have diabetes before. The pancreas makes insulin, so removing part of it can affect blood sugar control.
This study follows patients with diabetes who are having surgery to remove part or all of their pancreas (usually for cancer or benign disease). Researchers will track how the surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health over time.
This study follows patients who are having part or all of their pancreas removed due to disease. Researchers want to understand how this surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health in people without diabetes before surgery.
This study focuses on people whose pancreas injury is confirmed during an abdominal surgery (laparotomy). It aims to improve how traumatic pancreas transection is managed after that confirmation.
This trial tests different doses of a pancreatic enzyme pill to help people who have trouble digesting food after stomach or pancreas surgery. If you've had such surgery and struggle with diarrhea or greasy stools, this study may help improve your digestion.
This study asks patients to fill out surveys after pancreas surgery to understand their outcomes and recovery. It may help improve care for future patients.
