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

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the impact of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program on patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer. Conducted at two high-volume referral centers in Greece, the study compares outcomes of patients managed under a standardized ERAS protocol to a control group that received standard care. Key outcomes measured include length of hospital stay, as well as 30-day mortality and morbidity rates, to assess the effectiveness of the ERAS approach in enhancing postoperative recovery.
