Comparing two surgical methods for removing tumors near the pancreas
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have a confirmed or highly suspected tumor near the pancreas (not in the pancreas itself)
- Doctors have decided you need a pancreaticoduodenectomy (a surgery to remove the tumor and part of the surrounding organs)
- The tumor has not spread to other parts of the body
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before this surgery
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 35
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial compares two surgical approaches for removing tumors in the head of the pancreas or nearby areas: 'keyhole' (laparoscopic) surgery versus traditional open surgery. The goal is to see if the keyhole method offers similar results with a faster recovery.
This trial compares a modified surgical technique to the standard one for removing pancreatic tumors. It aims to see if the new method lowers the risk of a leak from the pancreas after surgery.
This study compares two different surgery methods for removing tumors in the pancreas area. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for patients who are eligible for surgery.
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 ways of doing a major pancreas-and-duodenum operation: laparoscopic (small incisions) versus open surgery (larger incision). It aims to see which approach works better for nonpancreatic periampullary adenocarcinoma when the goal is cure.
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.
