Pancreatic stump ligation after distal pancreatectomy study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific surgical technique for closing the remaining part of the pancreas after a distal pancreatectomy (removal of the tail or body). It aims to see if a special ligation method can improve outcomes. You may be able to join if you are planning this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares whether leaving a temporary drain after pancreas tail removal helps prevent complications or not. Half of the patients will get a drain, and half will not, to see which approach is better.
This trial studies whether injecting a Botox-like medicine into the pancreatic drainage area can help prevent a post-surgery pancreas fistula (a persistent leak). It’s for adults having a planned distal pancreatectomy, and it may help reduce complications after surgery.
This trial compares two different ways to reconnect the pancreas during a Whipple procedure. It is for people with a soft pancreas and a narrow pancreatic duct. The goal is to see which stitching method leads to fewer complications.
This study looks at patients who have surgery to remove part of the pancreas (pancreaticoduodenectomy) to understand and possibly prevent a common complication called pancreatic fistula (a leak of digestive fluid). It may help improve recovery after this major surgery.
This trial tests a new type of stapler (AEON) used during surgery to remove the left part of the pancreas. The goal is to see if it helps reduce the risk of a leak from the pancreas after surgery.
This trial compares a modified surgical technique to the standard one for removing pancreatic tumors. It aims to see if the new method lowers the risk of a leak from the pancreas after surgery.
