Is Intraperitoneal Drainage Necessary Following Distal Pancreatectomy: A Randomized Control Trial
Case Comprehensive Cancer Center
234 participants
Apr 13, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to analyze if intraperitoneal drainage is necessary following distal pancreatectomy. This study aims to determine whether the omission of routine intraperitoneal drainage in the setting of reinforced staple technology is non-inferior to routine intraperitoneal drainage with respect to a composite post-operative complications of Grade B or C Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), readmission, or organ space surgical site infection following a distal pancreatectomy.
Eligibility
