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.

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 whether leaving a drainage tube (PTCD catheter) in place versus removing it during surgery for pancreatic cancer or similar tumors affects your recovery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better short-term outcomes after surgery.
This trial compares skipping the routine nasogastric tube (a tube through the nose into the stomach) after a minimally invasive Whipple surgical procedure. Researchers want to see if avoiding the tube helps patients recover more comfortably without increasing complications.
This trial is testing a new type of feeding tube that can be seen with ultrasound, so doctors can check its position without needing an X-ray. It may help make tube placement quicker and safer for people who already need this tube as part of their care.
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.
