Evaluating blood flow in pancreatic remnants after surgery using fluorescence

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 study aims to assess the blood flow in the pancreatic remnant following pancreaticoduodenectomy by utilizing indocyanine green fluorescence. The research will involve consecutive patients undergoing this surgical procedure from May 2024 to December 2026. By evaluating the vascular supply of the pancreatic remnant, the study seeks to determine if this method can predict the risk of developing postoperative pancreatic fistulas. Patients will be categorized based on the adequacy of their vascular supply, and the incidence of complications will be compared between groups.
