Recovery without a stomach tube after keyhole pancreatic surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (keyhole or robot-assisted) to remove a tumor, and your doctor believes it can be fully removed.
- The cancer has not spread to other parts of your body.
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before this surgery.
- You have not had prior surgery on your nose, throat, food pipe, or stomach.

This study tests a program to help patients recover faster after minimally invasive surgery for tumors near the pancreas. The program includes special pain management and recovery steps to help you feel better sooner.
This trial compares two ways of doing surgery for pancreatic cancer: keyhole (small cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s meant to see which approach works better for people who are well enough for either option.
This trial tests whether it is safe and helpful to skip placing drainage tubes in the abdomen after keyhole surgery to remove part of the stomach for gastric cancer. It aims to speed up recovery and reduce discomfort.
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 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.
This study tests whether using a thin tube through the nose into the stomach during jaw surgery helps reduce nausea and vomiting after the operation. It's for people having certain types of jaw surgery to correct bite or facial problems.
