Antiseptic-coated sutures to lower pancreatic fistula risk
This trial tests if using antiseptic-coated stitches during pancreatic surgery can reduce the chance of a pancreatic leak (fistula) afterward. If you are scheduled for a Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy), this study may help improve your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for a Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have not had pancreatic surgery before.

This study tests whether a shorter course of antibiotics after Whipple surgery works as well as the standard longer course to prevent infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and side effects.
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 is testing whether draining the main pancreatic and bile ducts during a Whipple procedure can lower the risk of a pancreatic leak. The study focuses on people with a higher chance of this complication.
This study tests whether washing the belly with fluid during surgery can lower the chance of a leak from the pancreas after a Whipple operation. If you are having this surgery for a tumor in the pancreas, bile duct, or nearby area, this trial may help reduce a common complication.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the pancreas after a Whipple surgery for cancer. It tests whether using a special surgical glue (Glubran2) helps reduce leaks and improve healing.
This trial tests if using a special dye during surgery can reduce the risk of a pancreatic fistula (a leak from the pancreas) after a Whipple procedure. The dye helps the surgeon see blood flow to the remaining pancreas, which may improve healing.
