About this study

To compare between the outcomes of pancreaticogastrostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy with dunking technique after Pancreaticodudenectomy in the treatment of operable periampullary malignancies.

Read the detailed description

Pancreaticoduodenectomy remains the treatment of choice for periampullary malignancies. Advances in pancreatic surgery techniques and perioperative care have led to reduced mortality rates for Pancreaticodudenectomy [1]. However, morbidity after pancreatic resection remains high, with 30-60% of patients experiencing complications following surgery, mainly as a result of leak and subsequent fistula from the pancreatic anastomosis [2].The leakage of the pancreatic anastomosis remains the most serious problem as it is the major cause of morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and also contributes significantly to prolonged hospitalization [5]. For this reason, surgeons have always directed their efforts at reducing the rate of pancreatic fistula through the introduction of new and effective methods of construction of the pancreatic anastomosis [6]. Various techniques have been described for joining the pancreatic stump either with the jejunum or with the stomach, with or without internal or external drainage of the pancreatic duct. Recently, new prospective randomized studies have demonstrated the advantage of pancreaticogastrostomy over pancreaticojejunostomy in reducing the incidence of pancreatic fistula [3]; however, none of these techniques has proved to be superior in minimizing postoperative mortality and morbidity [4]. One of the difficulties of pancreatic reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy is the presence of soft pancreas which leads to high risk of fistula so dunking technique was raised [8]. But few researches or papers have focused on its efficacy and even fewer papers have discussed dunking in pancreaticogastrostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy, So this is the interest of our study to compare between the efficacies of these two techniques.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreaticobiliary Cancer, run by Assiut University.

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 5 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 28 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Sherif Alaa Abdelhafez, Resident (00201004884894, sherifabdelhafez94@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of postoperative anastomosis leakage (time frame: One month). 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 NCT05171361, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 28 Dec 2021.
