First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a surgical technique to reduce severe bleeding after pancreatic head removal. In 150 high-risk patients, surgeons will either cover the exposed arteries with a flap of omental (belly) tissue or leave them uncovered. The goal is to see if the omental flap lowers the rate of dangerous bleeds that require transfusions or additional procedures.
