Phase Two Randomized Study of The Size of the Gastric Remnant as Determinant for Delayed Gastric Emptying After Whipple Resection.

• Status: Terminated

Summary

A small gastric remnant after whipple resection improves gastric emptying and therefore prevents the development of delayed gastric emptying.

Detailed description

Every patient submitted to a whipple resection and at the same time present with characteristics suggestive of minimal risk for leakage from the pancreaticojejunostomy will be included in the study. At the time of reconstruction the patient will be randomized to either conventional size of the stomach or to a subtotal gastrectomy containing a small upper gastric pouch only.

Conditions

• 50 % Reduction of Delayed Gastric Emptying

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Subtotal gastrectomy as an adjunct to traditional whipple procedure.	Subtotal gastrectomy as an adjunct to traditional whipple procedure.
PROCEDURE	Conventional whipple procedure	All patients undergoing whipple procedure without risk for pancreaticojejunal anastomosis leakage.
