First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 250 patients who are having surgery to remove part of their pancreas due to cancer, pancreatitis, or cysts. Researchers will track changes in quality of life, symptoms, and emotional well-being for up to two years after surgery. The goal is to understand how the procedure truly affects patients' daily lives and whether they are satisfied with their decision, helping future patients make more informed choices.
