First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests whether using antiseptic-coated sutures (stitches) during a Whipple procedure can lower the chance of a pancreatic fistula—a serious leak of digestive fluids. About 436 adults scheduled for this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the coated sutures or standard ones. The main goal is to see if the coated sutures reduce fistula rates within 90 days after surgery.
