Pancreatic fistula study after Whipple surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at people having planned Whipple surgery (a type of pancreas surgery) to understand why some develop a leak called a pancreatic fistula. Researchers will study your blood and immune system to find ways to predict and prevent this complication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is looking at how the immune system can become weakened after a Whipple procedure for pancreatic tumors. The goal is to better understand and potentially help patients recover more effectively.
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 studies whether washing the inside lining of the abdomen during surgery can reduce the risk of a pancreas leak (called a pancreatic fistula) and related complications after a Whipple-type operation. If you are having this surgery for certain tumors, the study may help improve safety and recovery.
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 trial compares two ways of reconnecting the pancreas after a Whipple surgery for cancer. It tests whether using a special surgical glue (Glubran2) helps reduce leaks and improve healing.
This trial tests if placing a small tube (stent) in the pancreas during Whipple surgery helps prevent leaks. It is for patients whose pancreas is found to be soft during surgery.
