Pancreaticogastrostomy Versus Pancreaticojejunostomy in Reconstruction After Cephalic Duodenopancreatectomy (PanAm)

April 8, 2011 updated by: University of Belgrade

Results of Pancreaticogastrostomy Versus Pancreaticojejunostomy in Reconstruction After Cephalic Duodenopancreatectomy in Patients With Soft Pancreas and Small Pancreatic Duct

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the standards surgical procedure for various malignant and benign disease of the pancreas and periampullariy region. During the recent years, mortality rate of pancreaticoduodenectomy has decreased to 5% in specialized centers. Although, this procedure still carries considerable morbidity up to 40%, depending of definition of complications. Pancreatic fistula remains a common complication and the main cause of other morbidities and mortality. Pancreaticojejunal (PJ) anastomosis is the most often used method of reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Several technique modifications such as placement of the stents, reinforcement of anasomosis with fibrin glue, pancreatic duct occlusion and pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) type of anastomosis was used in order to decrease pancreatic fistula rate. Since, some retrospective studies showed better results with some technique, several meta-analyses did not show any advantage of those various modifications. It was shown that the higher risk of pancreatic fistula was noticed in patients with soft residual pancreas and small diameter of pancreatic duct. There is only one randomized study in the literature dealing with this problem. This study did not reveal any significant differences between PG and PJ in patients with soft pancreas and small duct. In order to investigate once more this important issue, the researchers conducted randomized multicenter controlled trial.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Intervention / Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL: Pancreaticogastro anastomosis
Procedure: Pancreatico gastro anastomosis
After the pylorus preserving cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatico gasto teremino-lateral anastomosis will be performed. The anastomosis will be done with posterior wall of the stomach. Pancreas will be mobilized at least 5 cm, two tobaco stiches will be applied on posterior wall of the stomach and hole of 2 cm will be done in the middle. Anterior wall of the stomach will be opened, for easier placement of the pancreas in to the stomach cavity. Pancreas will be entered in the stomach trough , tobacco stitches tided and just 2 or 3 stitches will be applied on the stomach mucosa and pancreatic capsule. After that classic hepatico jejuno and antecolic duodeno jejuno anatomosis will ber performed.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Pancreaticojejuno anastomosis
Procedure: Pancreaticojejuno anastomosis
After the pylorus preserving cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatico jejuno termino lateral duct to mucosa anastomosis will be performed. After that classic hepatico jejuno and antecolic duodeno jejuno anatomosis will ber performed.
