Double Bypass Versus Stent-treatment in Irresectable Pancreatic Cancer

March 20, 2019 updated by: Göteborg University

Double Bypass vs Stent Strategy in Peroperatively Diagnosed Irresectable Pancreatic Cancer - A Prospective Randomized Multicenter Study

Double bypass (hepaticojejunostomy + gastrojejunostomy) is compared to stent strategy in patients planned for curative pancreatic resection in whom peroperative findings makes resection impossible.
