Comparing two surgical methods for pancreatic surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to reconnect the intestines after surgery to remove the head of the pancreas. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer complications and better recovery.

This study compares two different chemotherapy combinations after surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see which is better at preventing the cancer from coming back. You would receive either liposomal irinotecan with oxaliplatin and S-1, or gemcitabine with capecitabine.
This trial compares two types of surgery for removing the head of the pancreas: robotic-assisted surgery versus traditional open surgery. It aims to see which approach may be better for recovery.
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 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.
