Pancreatico Enteric Anastomosis Post Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Not Applicable
Conditions
Cancer of Pancreas
Interventions
Procedure: Blumgart Anastomosis
Procedure: Cattell Warren Anastomosis
Registration Number
NCT05163977
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to make a step for evaluation and presentation of a safe technique for pancreatico-jejunostomy that help in minimizing post-operative morbidity and mortality in pancreatic cancer patient by comparing Blumgart anastomosis with Cattell warren technique of anastomosis.

Detailed Description

Study Design This study is a randomized prospective clinical trial. Methods of randomization: Randomized block design

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of Blumgart anastomosis versus Cattell Warren techniques for pancreatico-jejunostomy regarding

* Surgical technique

* Peri-operative outcome including

1. Length of hospital stay

2. Post-operative pancreatic fistula

3. ICU admission and stay

4. Operative time

5. Other morbidity and mortality

Data collection:

All data will be collected for each group and will be divided into Patients' factors, intraoperative and postoperative factors. Patients' factors include patients' demographics, co-morbidities, neoadjuvant treatment, Pathology and Biliary drainage. Intra-operative factors include type of Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) (Whether classic or PPPD), Operative time in hours and estimated blood loss in ml, pancreatic duct and texture of pancreas. Post-operative factors include the short term post-operative course which will be divided into specific complications (pancreatic leakage, biliary leakage, delayed gastric emptying, 2ry hemorrhage, intra-abdominal collection, deep wound infection, Portal Vein (PV) - Superior Mesenteric Vein (SMV) thrombosis and general surgical complications.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post-Operative Pancreatic FistulaUp to 10 days after the operation

We used the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) definition which is any measurable pancreatic fluid output after postoperative day 3 (containing more than three times the normal serum amylase level; more than 300 IU/L) with clinical signs of an infection and/or necessitating a change in clinical management.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post-Operative bleeding1-3 weeks

including early and late bleeding (1-3 weeks post-operative) According to ISGPF it is defined as any bleeding from the surgical site with a drop in hemoglobin concentration greater than 3 g/dL with peripheral circulatory impairment requiring medical, surgical, or radiological intervention.

Hospital StayImmediate after surgery and until the discharge of the patient ,including the readmission within the first 30 days after the operation

the post operative hospital stay

Operative TimeDuring the operation

Time of the surgical procedure in hours

primary or reactionary hemorrhageDuring the operation and within the first 24 hours after the operation

Bleeding that occurs during or in the first day after the operation

Biliary leakageUp to 10 days after the operation

Any biliary output via percutaneous drains after the first postoperative day, or detected at a re-laparotomy
