New technique for removing benign pancreatic tumors
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical technique for removing non-cancerous or low-grade tumors from the pancreas using small incisions (laparoscopy). The technique may help preserve more of the pancreas and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a benign (non-cancerous) or low-grade malignant tumor in the head or middle of the pancreas.
- You are in generally good health (able to do daily activities, ECOG 0-1).
- You are considered fit for surgery and anesthesia.
- You have not had previous upper abdominal surgery that involved digestive tract reconstruction.

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.
This trial compares two types of surgery to remove tumors that start near the pancreas but not in it. The goal is to see if a newer, less invasive method works as well as the standard approach, which may mean fewer cuts and a faster recovery.
This trial compares two laparoscopic techniques to remove tumors from the pancreas while keeping the spleen. The goal is to see which method is safer and better for people with non-cancerous or low-grade tumors.
This trial tests a surgical technique to remove benign or low-risk pancreatic tumors from the head or neck of the pancreas while temporarily blocking blood flow to reduce bleeding. It may help patients avoid more extensive surgery.
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 ways of doing the same surgery to remove a tumor in the pancreas. It looks at whether removing the blood supply to the tumor first makes the surgery safer or more effective than the usual method.
