Evaluation of Resection Techniques for Pancreatic Tumors

March 26, 2024 updated by: Methodist Health System

The objective of this study is to compare open and minimally invasive pancreatic and liver resection techniques and analyze the different outcome variables from the clinical standpoint.

The plan is to investigate patient survival, length of stay, complication rates, operative time, transfusion rate, 30 and 90-day readmission rate, and hospital charges.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The plan is to conduct a retrospective chart review of patients who have undergone pancreatic and liver resection by using Meditech and Epic. A non-identified database will be created after retrospectively reviewing each patient case involving pancreatic or liver resection at MDMC. The study period will start in January 2006 until December 2020. Variables will include demographics, clinical disease diagnoses, and operative parameters as well as indirect charges from the hospitalizations.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient Survival
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
It will be calculated in days.Minimally invasive techniques are being adopted for complex pancreatic and liver surgery and there is a need to understand if these techniques are advantageous to the patient, if the cost is justified and if the risks are acceptable when compared to the gold standard open surgery.
through study completion, an average of 1 year
Length of stay
Time Frame: Up to 1 year
It will be calculated in days. The days stayed in hospital post-procedure.
Up to 1 year
Complication rates
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Patient may visit physician or hospital for any symptoms or may need hospitalizations.
through study completion, an average of 1 year
Operative time
Time Frame: up to 10 hours
The time required for the procedure.
up to 10 hours
Transfusion rate
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
If any post-procedure transfusion required, will be recorded.
through study completion, an average of 1 year
30 and 90 day readmission rate

After the procedure any hospital admissions up to 30 days will be recorded.
through study completion, an average of 1 year
Hospital charges
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
The hospital charges for the procedure will be recorded.
