Trial summary

Robotic pancreatoduodenectomy is the most complex surgery for a general surgeon and consequently a pancreatic surgeon can aspire to. Due to the close proximity of the pancreas to the large vessels, great skill and experience in the field of pancreatic surgery, robotic surgery and also vascular surgery is essential.

About this study

Official title: Difficulty Scoring System in Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy

Robotic pancreatoduodenectomy is the most complex surgery for a general surgeon and consequently a pancreatic surgeon can aspire to. Due to the close proximity of the pancreas to the large vessels, great skill and experience in the field of pancreatic surgery, robotic surgery and also vascular surgery is essential. The ability to predict the depth of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy in each individual patient would be extremely important, for patient selection and for the implementation of the learning curve. This study aims to provide a difficulty score (DS) for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy to be used to select cases based on the experience and expertise of the surgeon.

Read the detailed description

Our Robot DIFFICULT Score was developed starting from factors evaluated by surgeons with experience in performing robotic pancreatoduodenectomy in high-volume centers. Based on the univariate and multivariate analysis, the elevated BMI, ASA 3, the need for venous resection and vascular variations in arterial liver supply were considered significant in increasing the degree of "difficulty" in the robotic pancreatoduodenectomy. The Robot ADDICT Score will be calculated in all cases of the International Consortium on Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery (I-MIPS; www.i-mips.com).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Difficulty score system for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy in people with Pancreatic Neoplasm, run by University of Pisa at 2 sites in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

correlation to post-operative complication (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04662346, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2020.
