Nasogastric tube care after pancreas surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of managing nasogastric tubes after pancreas and bile duct surgery. One group gets a tube for a while, the other avoids one. It tests if skipping the tube helps recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a diagnosis of a benign or malignant condition in the bile or pancreas area

This study compares recovery without a nasogastric tube (a tube through your nose to the stomach) after minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. It may help you avoid discomfort and recover faster, but your doctor will first confirm you are a good candidate and that the surgery is expected to remove all cancer.
This trial tests whether placing a thin feeding tube through the nose into the stomach helps reduce complications in patients with small bowel obstruction (a blockage in the small intestines). Researchers want to see if this tube improves outcomes and reduces symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
This trial compares the effectiveness of placing a nasogastric tube versus not placing one for treating small bowel obstructions caused by adhesions. It aims to see if the tube is really needed for patients who do not have complications.
This study compares keeping a temporary drainage tube in place after pancreatic surgery versus removing it right after surgery. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications for people with jaundice caused by a blocked bile duct.
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.
This trial compares two ways of feeding after a procedure to drain pancreatic necrosis: a tube placed into the small intestine or eating by mouth. It aims to see which method helps recovery better.
