Antecolic versus Retrocolic Gastrojejunostomy after a Whipple (pancreaticoduodenectomy)

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized trial at the University Hospital of Larissa comparing two ways to reconstruct the gastrointestinal tract after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy: antecolic versus retrocolic gastrojejunostomy. Adult patients undergoing elective Whipple surgery are randomized to one of the two reconstruction routes and followed for the occurrence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE). The study excludes patients under 18 or over 75 years and those who do not consent or are enrolled in conflicting trials. The primary comparison is the rate of DGE between the two groups, and outcomes are analyzed to see if one method leads to fewer postoperative gastric emptying problems.
