Comparing two surgical methods for pancreatic surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two different ways to rebuild the digestive tract after pancreatic surgery. It aims to find which method leads to better recovery.

This trial tests a specific surgical method called mesopancreatic excision during Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer. It may help remove more cancer tissue and improve outcomes for patients with resectable disease.
This trial studies whether a faster, less extensive pancreatic surgery method works as well as a more traditional method for tumors in the pancreas area near the bile duct. You might be eligible if your imaging shows a tumor that can be removed with a Whipple-type operation and there is no spread to distant organs.
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 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.
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 study compares two surgeries for pancreatic cancer: laparoscopic (keyhole) pancreaticoduodenectomy and open pancreaticoduodenectomy. It aims to see which approach leads to fewer complications during recovery.
