No-Tube approach tested for pancreatic surgery recovery
NCT ID NCT07370116
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether it's safe to avoid placing a tube through the nose into the stomach after minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. About 200 adults having this surgery will be randomly assigned to either get the tube or not. The goal is to see if skipping the tube reduces discomfort and doesn't lead to more complications.
