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 tests whether taking capsules with healthy donor bacteria (fecal transplant) can help people who have severe diarrhea after surgery to remove part or all of the pancreas. The treatment aims to restore gut balance and reduce diarrhea.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic (a helpful bacteria) before and after surgery to remove part of the pancreas can improve recovery. It is for people who are having this surgery and have not had chemotherapy or radiation beforehand.
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.
This study tests whether a special nutrition plan before and after Whipple surgery (a major operation for pancreatic or bile duct cancer) helps patients recover faster and feel better. Researchers want to see if eating the right nutrients beforehand makes surgery easier on your body.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic called Bifidobacterium longum can help people with acute pancreatitis recover better. The study compares the probiotic against a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient) to see if it reduces inflammation and complications.
