This study investigates the use of indocyanine green fluorescence to evaluate blood flow in the pancreatic remnant after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pancreatoduodenectomy is a surgical procedure that can lead to complications, and proper blood flow is important for healing.
The study focuses on assessing whether indocyanine green fluorescence is a reliable method for measuring blood flow in the pancreatic remnant. It also explores if this method can predict the risk of developing a pancreatic fistula, a potential complication after surgery.
- Who can participate: Adults undergoing open pancreaticoduodenectomy at the study site during the specified period may participate. Individuals allergic to the dye or opting for minimally invasive procedures are excluded.
- Study details: Participants will undergo surgery, and their pancreatic remnant blood flow will be evaluated using a fluorescence detector.
- Study timelines: The study will last from May 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026.
