Study summary

The aim of this study is to compare surgical outcomes of modified One-layer duct-to-mucosa versus invagination pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreatoduodenectomy

Read the detailed description

Duct-to-mucosa and invagination pancreaticojejunostomy are two most commonly used anastomotic techniques after pancreaticoduodenectomy, with comparable incidence rate of pancreatic fistula (PF). We modified the conventional two-layer duct-to-mucosa PJ into one-layer PJ. The aim of this study is to examine if the investigator's modified duct-to-mucosa PJ can reduce PF after PD when compared to invagination PJ.

This trial is a single-center, randomized, controlled, patient- and observer- blinded study, whose primary aim is to assess whether a modified duct-to-mucosa PJ (trial group) is superior to an invagination PJ (control group), in terms of clinically relevant PF and other complications. A total of 380 patients, who are to undergo elective PD, will be recruited and randomized intraoperatively into either of the two groups. The primary efficacy endpoint is the incident rate of clinically relevant PF. Secondary outcome measures are: entry into adjuvant therapy, mortality, surgical complications, non-surgical complications, hospital stay. Patients will be followed up for 3 months. Statistical analysis will be based on the intention-to-treat population. The duration of the entire trial is estimated to be two years.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF)

    As defined by International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula, a clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula is now redefined as a drain output of any measurable volume of fluid with an amylase level \>3 times the upper limit of institutional normal serum amylase activity, associated with a clinically relevant development/condition related directly to the postoperative pancreatic fistula.

    Time frame: Up to 60 days after Surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Anastomosis time

    Time from the beginning to the end of the pancreatic reconstruction

    Time frame: intraoperatively

  2. Delayed gastric emptying

    The International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery definition and classification of delayed gastric emptying were applied. Briefly, grade A, unable to tolerate solid oral intake by POD 7 and usually no vomiting; grade B, unable to tolerate solid oral intake by POD 14 with/without vomiting: and grade C, unable to tolerate solid oral intake by POD 21 with/without vomiting.

    Time frame: Up to 60 day after Surgery

  3. post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH)

    The 2017 International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery definition and classification of PPH were applied.

    Time frame: Up to 60 days after Surgery

  4. Chyle leak

    The 2017 International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery definition and classification of chyle leak were applied.

    Time frame: Up to 60 days after Surgery

  5. Overall Morbidity

    Any complications that occur postoperatively. The severity of complications was graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.

    Time frame: Up to 60 days after Surgery

  6. Mortality

    Patient death that occurs postoperatively

    Time frame: Up to 90 days after Surgery

  7. Reoperation rate

    Patients who needs a surgical re-operation for any reasons during the postoperative hosptial stay. Reasons and times of reoperation are recorded.

    Time frame: Up to 90 days after Surgery

  8. Readmission rate

    Patients that readmitted into hospital for reasons that related to complications of last pancreatic surgery.

    Time frame: Up to 60 days after Surgery

  9. Duration of postoperative hospital stay

    Time from day of operation to day of discharge

    Time frame: Up to 90 days after Surgery
