Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Diseases"

This study evaluated that strict control of perioperative blood glucose following pancreatic resection by using an artificial pancreas would improve postoperative surgical site infection.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of the "connexion pancreatic duct to jejunum stented (CONDUCTJE-ST)" technique to prevent clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Summary Background Data: CR-POPF remains the most determining cause of morbidity and mortality after PD. The incidence of CR-POPF (grades B and C, ISGPS) is around 20% and is a potential source of severe secondary complications that are associated with a mortality of up to 40%. Methods: A prospective pilot study included 50 consecutive patients who underwent PD with the CONDUCTJE-ST technique, the steps of which are described, performed by the same surgical team from January 2018 to February 2020. No patient received prophylactic or therapeutic somatostatin or its analogues. The primary endpoint was the incidence of CR-POPF. Secondary endpoints were postoperative mortality and morbidity, hospital course and during the first year of follow-up. In a prospective study we have evaluated a "novel" technique, modification of the preexisting ones, for the reconstruction of the digestive continuity of the corporocaudal remnant in the PD, termed "connexion pancreatic duct to jejunum stented (CONDUCTJE-ST)", applicable to any type of pancreatic remnant, regardless of its texture and the diameter of the main pancreatic duct. The study was planned with the objective of achieving a significant reduction in the incidence of CR-POPF, so that CONDUCTJE-ST could be considered as a surgical procedure of choice in the management of the pancreatic remnant in PD.

Endoscopic treatment of pancreatic necrosis complicated by trans digestive track (duodenal or gastric) has become a standard technique validated. The rate of high technical and clinical success (76 to 91% in 3 months) and the lower morbidity in the literature explains that validation. However this treatment is done at the cost of a higher median number of treatment sessions (4-5) explaining prolonged hospitalization, delays in rehabilitation and potentially high costs. The constant improvement of therapeutic endoscopy equipment was allowed to see the advent of metal prosthesis completely covered by a membrane allowing them endoscopic extraction with ease. It has thus been recently developed short prostheses, of large diameter (up to 15/16 mm), with broad flange (or stent "diabolo") to be considered for use in the drainage of digestive peri collections. Few studies respectively determined the effectiveness of this type of prosthesis in the drainage of peri digestive collections Under echo endoscopy and treatment of necrosis of pancreatic origin. The purpose of this work is to evaluate multicenter prospective clinical and technical efficiency of laying completely covered stent "diabolo" in echo endoscopy for the treatment of necrosis of pancreatic origin.

This study aims at collecting the information related to the safety and effectiveness in the pancreatic exocrine insufficiency patients due to cystic fibrosis receiving the treatment with LipaCreon in order to evaluate the effective and safe use of LipaCreon.

This study aims at collecting the information related to the safety and effectiveness in the pancreatic exocrine insufficiency patients receiving the treatment with LipaCreon for a long term in order to evaluate the effective and safe use of LipaCreon.

The purpose of this study is to investigate an intervention to prevent complications after pancreas surgery. The goal is to determine if placing a stent into the pancreatic duct before surgery will decrease or prevent leaking from the pancreatic duct after surgery. Leaks are common after pancreas surgery and can result in serious problems and post-operative pain. The study will compare two groups. One group will have the stent before surgery, and the other group will have standard pancreas surgery, no endoscopy, and no stent.

To establish doctor-nurse-patient cooperative analgesic linkage program. Evaluate the effect of doctor-nurse-patient cooperative analgesic linkage program on movement evoked pain after laparotomy for patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease through quasi-experimental study.

The aim of this study is to compare sedation efficiency, safety and satisfaction by both endoscopist, assistants, and the patients between continuous infusion and intermittent bolus injection of propofol for deep sedation during ERCP.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the quality of life in patients undergoing the Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy, PD) for pancreatic cancer. The Whipple procedure can be done by laparoscopic (small incisions) or an open procedure (large incision) to treat the patients cancer. The goal of this study is to see if there is any difference in quality of life between patients who undergo the laparoscopic or the open Whipple procedure. Surgical technique (minimally invasive versus open) will be at the discretion of the operating surgeon. Patients will not be randomized to a treatment arm. A subset of these patients will also be asked to take part in a pre- and postoperative in-depth interview to explore the lived experiences of patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.

It has been known that the recent application of a goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) to the intraoperative fluid infusion in patients contributes to decreasing the prevalence of postoperative complications and shortening the length of study in the intensive care unit as well as hospital stay compared with conventional methods. Laparoscopic surgery is in a trend that its application is being expanded recently, but there has been no report on the application of GDFT to laparoscopic surgery so far. To this end, this study aims to apply the intraoperative GDFT protocol in patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatobiliary or pancreatic surgery and to find out whether there is any difference in postoperative recovery and incidences of postoperative complications, by comparing with patients applied with the fluid therapy using existing conventional methods
