Energy Expenditure and Nutrition After Pancreatic Surgery

Studying nutrition and energy use after pancreatic surgery.

Recruiting
18-75 years

Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)
Study Summary: This study looks at how much energy and nutrition people need after surgery for pancreatic tumors. The pancreas is an organ that helps with digestion and blood sugar control. Surgery on the pancreas can make it hard for the body to get enough nutrients. The study will measure how much energy patients use when resting and compare it with other methods doctors use to estimate energy needs. Key Points:
  • Study Duration: Follow-up is between 3 to 6 months after surgery.
  • Participant Requirements: Patients need to be 18-75 years old and must undergo a specific type of surgery for pancreatic tumors.
  • Risks and Procedures: The study involves indirect calorimetry, a method to measure energy use, and may involve multiple hospital visits.
After surgery, the study will also keep track of how patients are fed and how their weight changes. This helps doctors understand if the way they feed patients affects recovery. The study aims to make personalized nutrition plans for people having this type of surgery.
