Comparing recovery after two types of pancreatic cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.

This trial compares two ways of doing surgery in people with early, left-sided pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It may help find the approach with better outcomes while aiming to keep the operation safe and effective.
This trial compares two types of surgery for removing pancreatic cancer in the body or tail of the pancreas. One is a more involved surgery that removes more tissue around the pancreas, and the other is a more standard removal. The goal is to see if the more extensive surgery improves outcomes or not.
This trial compares two ways of doing surgery for pancreatic cancer: keyhole (small cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s meant to see which approach works better for people who are well enough for either option.
This trial compares two ways of doing a major pancreas-and-duodenum operation: laparoscopic (small incisions) versus open surgery (larger incision). It aims to see which approach works better for nonpancreatic periampullary adenocarcinoma when the goal is cure.
