About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if traditional pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) combined with TRIANGLE (extended PD surgery) can increase disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with pancreatic head cancers compared to traditional minimally invasive PD. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does extended PD surgery increase disease-free survival (DFS)? * Does extended PD surgery could improve postoperative and long-term quality of life for patients? Researchers will compare extended PD surgery to traditional PD surgery to see if extended PD surgery could extend the survival time of patients.

Participants will:

* Accept traditional minimally invasive PD surgery or minimally invasive PD combined with TRIANGLE surgery. * Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests. * Keep a diary of their symptoms.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Preoperative: a. Patients with suspected or histologically verified resectable, borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer of the pancreatic head (i.e. pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN)-carcinoma or periampullary cancer of the pancreatobiliary-type) ; b. Patients scheduled for elective partial pancreatoduodenectomy (irrespective of neoadjuvant therapy); c. Assumed resectability in accordance with the surgical protocol for experimental and control intervention as judged by the treating surgeon; d. Ability of the subject to understand character and individual consequences of the clinical trial;e.Written informed consent; f. Age ≥ 18 years;

Intraoperative: a.No distant metastases; b.No paraaortic lymph node metastases; c.Intraoperative confirmation that the patient can be operated on according to both surgical methods.
