Comparing two ways to reconnect the stomach after Whipple surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two common surgical techniques for reconnecting the stomach and small intestine during a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) to see if one leads to fewer complications. It may help surgeons choose the best approach for you.
