This study tests if invasive procedures (like draining fluid or removing dead tissue) can help people with complications from acute pancreatitis that do not improve with medicines or other non-surgical care.
This study tracks patients who get endoscopic treatment for fluid collections in or around the pancreas. It aims to collect data to improve care for future patients.
This trial compares whether leaving a temporary drain after pancreas tail removal helps prevent complications or not. Half of the patients will get a drain, and half will not, to see which approach is better.
This study looks at a specific surgical technique for closing the remaining part of the pancreas after a distal pancreatectomy (removal of the tail or body). It aims to see if a special ligation method can improve outcomes. You may be able to join if you are planning this surgery.
This study looks at why some people develop diabetes after acute pancreatitis and how that process works in the body. It may help doctors better predict risk and tailor care for people recovering from pancreatitis.
This study looks at patients who have surgery to remove part of the pancreas (pancreaticoduodenectomy) to understand and possibly prevent a common complication called pancreatic fistula (a leak of digestive fluid). It may help improve recovery after this major surgery.
