Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this trial is to establish an objective criterion for assessing pancreatic stump texture, and unify stapler cartridge according to pancreatic stump texture and thickness.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: traditional reloads
  • Procedure: Tri-Staple reloads

Detailed Description

Distal pancreatectomy (DP) is the standard treatment for symptomatic benign, premalignant, and malignant lesions in the pancreatic body and tail.Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) are reported to have lower blood loss, fewer postoperative complications and a shorter length of stay without a substantial increase in the operative time. Pancreatic fistula (PF) is the major source of postoperative morbidity and is associated with numerous further complications, suffering, longer hospital stay, higher costs and sometimes death. Frequencies range from 5% to 64%. Several procedures have been proposed to reduce the rate of PF. stapler closure is considered to be safe and approved particularly in LDP. Numerous predictive factors for PF have been reported in previous studies. Among these risk factors, the most important might be the texture and thickness of the remnant pancreas. However, the judgment of pancreatic texture has been based on the surgeon's observation and there still exists no objective method of assessing pancreatic texture. Furthermore there is no strict guideline on which type of cartridge to use according to pancreatic stump texture and thickness. Therefore, this single blind randomized controlled trial is designed to establish an objective criterion for assessing pancreatic stump texture, and unify stapler cartridge according to pancreatic stump texture and thickness. Patients were stratified intraoperatively by gland texture-hard (fibrotic) or soft (normal) and subsequently randomized according to different stapler cartridge. Pancreatic fibrosis is accessed by histopathology and pancreatic stellate cell.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Tri-Staple reloads

Tri-Staple reloads were used for pancreatic stump texture

Procedure: Tri-Staple reloads
Purple cartridge with2.0-2.5-3.0mm varied-height staples was used for pancreatic stump

Active Comparator: traditional reloads

the traditional reloads were used for pancreatic stump texture

Procedure: traditional reloads
Blue cartridge with3.0mm height staple was used for pancreatic stump

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Incidence of pancreatic fistula grade A/ B/C defined by ISGPF classification [Thirty days after operation]

    Pancreatic amylase concentration in any post operative drains. Fistula is diagnosed if pancreatic amylase > 3 times the upper normal limit of pancreatic amylase in plasma on post operative day 3 or later

  2. Pancreatic fibrosis accessed by histopathology and pancreatic stellate cell [intraoperative]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Morbidity [Thirty days after operation]

  2. Mortality [Thirty days after operation]

  3. Time to oral intake [Duration of hospital stay]

  4. Postoperative hospital stay [Duration of hospital stay]

  5. Readmission rate [Thirty days after operation]
