All
Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates pancreatic carcinoma. It compares two surgical techniques: total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (TLPD) and open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD).

The study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of these surgical approaches. It looks at overall survival, disease-free survival, and quality of life for patients undergoing either procedure.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 to 75 years with confirmed pancreatic cancer may participate. Participants must be eligible for both surgical techniques and provide informed consent.
  • Study details: Participants will undergo either a laparoscopic or open surgery to treat their pancreatic cancer.
  • Study timelines: The study will last seven years.
