About this trial

Pancreatic enucleation could preserve more healthy pancreatic tissues and functions with a low recurrence risk. However, conventional enucleation can cause significant intraoperative bleeding, especially in which tumors in the pancreatic head, neck, and uncinate process of pancreas, as these tissues are rich in blood supply, mainly including the abdominal trunk and the superior mesenteric artery. In this study, we developed a novel method to control the pancreatic blood flow in laparoscopic enucleation--blocking the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery with vascular occlusion clips in the process of resection, and evaluated its effectiveness and safety.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Benign or borderline tumors diagnosed pathologically, such as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, solid pseudopapillary tumors, and cystadenomas, without vascular invasion or distant metastasis

Tumors sited in the pancreatic head, neck, and uncinate process of pancreas

Blockade of both the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery in the laparoscopic enucleation

Disqualifiers

Highly malignant pancreatic tumors, or tumors with infiltration or metastasis

Tumors of the body and tail of the pancreas

Transfer to LPD or laparotomy

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • blocking both the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery in the pancreatic enucleation

    Procedure/Surgery

    In the pancreatic enucleation, Kocher Maneuver was routinely performed at first. Then free the left side of the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery, loose tissues easy to free.After Kocher Maneuver and other surgical procedures, the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery exposed. Before resection of pancreatic tumors, a vascular occlusion clamp clip was used to block the root of both the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery to control the pancreatic blood flow.
