Stent for pancreas connection after Whipple surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy).
- Your surgeon finds that your pancreas is soft during the operation.
- You do not have severe health problems like uncontrolled diabetes, serious heart disease, or kidney failure.

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 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 tests whether a drug called octreotide microspheres can help prevent a common complication after surgery to remove part of the pancreas. If you are scheduled for this type of surgery, this study may help reduce your risk of developing a leak from the pancreas.
This trial tests a new method using a surgical glue called N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate to seal the pancreas after a Whipple procedure. It may help prevent leaks and improve recovery for patients with a soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct.
This study tests injecting a medical glue into the pancreas during a Whipple procedure to see if it can prevent leaks. It may help people with a soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct.
This trial tests whether a special medical glue (Glubran® 2) applied to the pancreas during surgery can help prevent fluid leaks. It is for people undergoing a Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer who have a soft pancreas.
