Diagnostic Endoscopic Exploration for Pancreatic Head Mass

October 30, 2014 updated by: Jeffrey Hazey

Human Clinical Trial of Diagnostic Transgastric Endoscopic Peritoneoscopy for Staging of Pancreatic Head Mass

This study is being done to find out if an endoscope passed down the throat, through the stomach, and into the abdomen can quickly and accurately examine the organs and tissue of the abdomen and take biopsies if needed.

Detailed Description

This study is being done to find out if an endoscope (a small, flexible tube with a camera mounted on the end) passed down the throat, through the stomach, and into the abdomen can quickly and accurately examine the organs and tissue of the abdomen and take biopsies if needed. We wish to determine if this endoscopic route is as fast and efficient as the laparoscopic route, which is the current standard of care.
