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.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove part of your pancreas (distal pancreatectomy)
- The cut line on your pancreas will be on the left side of the main portal vein

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two standard approaches after surgery to remove the tail of the pancreas: placing a temporary drain or not placing one. The goal is to see which method leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
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 whether placing an external pancreatic duct stent after pancreaticoduodenectomy can lower the risk of pancreatic leak (pancreatic fistula). If you had this surgery with a specific connection technique, you may be able to help find a safer way to prevent complications.
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 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 study tests if octreotide microspheres (a slow-release drug) can prevent pancreatic fistula—a common complication after surgery to remove the tail of the pancreas. The goal is to help patients heal with fewer complications.
