NCT ID NCT06743516

First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looks at 100 people having Whipple surgery who have a soft pancreas, which raises the risk of a pancreatic fistula (a leak of digestive fluids). The goal is to see if using an external drain during the surgical connection helps prevent this leak better than standard care. Participants will be monitored for signs of fistula and fluid collections in the belly.
