Official title
Effect of a Reinforced Staple Line on Leak Rate in Distal Pancreatectomy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators propose a randomized, controlled trial of stapled pancreatic transection versus mesh reinforced stapled pancreatic transection. For the duration of the study period, participating surgeons will utilize a standardized staple technique. Either a reabsorbable polytrimethylene carbonate mesh (SEAMGUARD®) or reabsorbable strips of bovine pericardium (PERI-STRIPS DRY®) will be used to reinforce the stapled pancreatic transection line in the test group. In order to have a uniform test method, the investigators will utilize a laparoscopic stapling device for both open and laparoscopic procedures and a uniform staple size (4.8mm).
