This study looks at how the stomach empties after pancreas surgery. It aims to understand and possibly help with slow stomach emptying, a common issue after this operation.

Who can take part
- You must be 20 years old or older.
- You need to be scheduled for pancreas surgery.
- You cannot have another active cancer.

This study looks at how well the pancreas works (both hormone and digestive functions) and what happens to patients after pancreas removal surgery. It may help doctors better predict recovery and long-term health.
This study asks patients to fill out surveys after pancreas surgery to understand their outcomes and recovery. It may help improve care for future patients.
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 study measures how quickly food leaves the stomach in people who had weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) at least 2 years ago. The goal is to create normal reference values for this test, which may help doctors better understand digestive issues after surgery.
This study uses a simple stomach ultrasound before surgery to see how fast your stomach empties. It compares that to your HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) to better understand how diabetes might affect digestion during anesthesia.
This study looks at whether a common diabetes medication (GLP-1) affects how much food stays in your stomach before surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer by understanding stomach content.
