Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Total pancreatoduodenectomy (TP) is the standard surgical approach for treatment of extended pancreas tumors. If the gastric coronary vein has to be sacrificed for oncologic or for technical reasons in total pancreatectomy with splenectomy, gastric venous congestion (GVC) may result because all major venous draining routes are terminated. In the sequelae of GVC, gastric venous infarction ultimately leads to gastric perforation with abdominal sepsis. To avoid gastric venous infarction, partial or even total gastrectomy is usually performed in the event of GVC after TP. However, this significantly impacts the patient's quality of life.

Reconstruction of gastric venous outflow represents a technical approach to overcome GVC and to avoid gastric venous infarction making (partial) gastrectomy unnecessary. The current study aims to assess the role of gastric venous outflow reconstruction in GVC after TP to prevent (partial) gastrectomy.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Patients will be assigned to study after intraoperative evaluation of gastric venous drainage after coronary vein resection during TP. During surgery, onsite evaluation by the surgeon, endoscopic examination, indocyanine green, gastric venous drainage flowmetry, and spectral analysis will be performed. After surgery, patients will receive standard post-TP care and treatment. During hospitalization, endoscopic examination with indocyanine green will be performed on the first, third, and seventh postoperative day to evaluate gastric ischemia. Ischemia markers will be evaluated daily after surgery. After discharge, patients will be followed up for 30 days, during which mortality and morbidities will be recorded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Gastric venous congestion following total pancreatectomy

The gastric venous outflow will be reconstructed after TP. The patients will be assessed concerning gastric venous congestion and gastric ischemia intraoperatively before and after venous outflow reconstruction through onsite evaluation by the surgeon, endoscopic examination, indocyanine green, gastric venous drainage flowmetry, and spectral imaging.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gastric venous reconstruction

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients will be assigned to study after intraoperative evaluation of gastric venous drainage after coronary vein resection during TP, and the gastric venous outflow will be reconstructed after TP.
