Endocrine-exocrine Functions and Prognosis After Pancreatectomy

The Analysis of Endocrine-exocrine Functions and Prognosis After Pancreatectomy

Conditions

Summary

Pancreatic diseases often require surgery or invasive procedures to provide a chance for a cure. However, due to the pancreas's unique anatomical structure, its relative position to adjacent organs, and its dual endocrine and exocrine functions, the complexity of surgery is increased, impacting the patient's postoperative quality of life. Therefore, this project aims to retrospectively collect basic data, preoperative and postoperative blood tests (blood cell counts, biochemistry, tumor markers, glucose-related, lipid-related), and preoperative and postoperative imaging examinations (CT, MRI, Ultrasound, PET scan, Endoscopy, etc.) of patients who underwent pancreatic surgery at our hospital. We aim to compare whether surgical methods, lesion margin clearance rates, and postoperative remnant pancreatic volume affect the patient's endocrine function, exocrine function, quality of life, and disease prognosis. This analysis is intended to understand the indications, surgery-related factors, and prognosis for patients planning to undergo pancreatic surgery, with the expectation of providing more diverse and specific treatment recommendations for patients with pancreatic diseases in the future

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is tracking how the pancreas functions — both for making digestive enzymes (exocrine function) and producing insulin (endocrine function) — in patients who have part or all of their pancreas surgically removed. Researchers also want to understand how patients recover and what affects long-term outcomes after the surgery. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 20 and 75 years old - You are scheduled for any type of pancreas removal surgery (pancreatectomy) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 20 or over 75 years old - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
