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.

This trial compares two standard surgical techniques for removing pancreatic head tumors: the usual surgery (partial pancreatoduodenectomy) versus a more extended version that removes additional tissue. The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes for patients, potentially improving survival or reducing recurrence.

This trial compares two different ways to reconnect the stomach after removing the lower part for stomach cancer. It looks at which surgery leads to a better quality of life for patients.
This trial compares three different methods for reconnecting the digestive tract after surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. The goal is to find which method offers the best recovery and quality of life.
This trial is testing whether adding a special connection (Braun anastomosis) between two parts of the small intestine during pancreas surgery can reduce delayed stomach emptying, a common problem after the procedure.
