About this trial

To assess the efficacy of complete covering using retromesenteric omentoplasty vs. partial covering or no covering of peripancreatic arteries in decreasing incidence of grade B+C post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH), i.e. treated by transfusion and / or radiological or surgical hemostasis after PD in patients with high risk of POPF.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years

Patients requiring a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for any indication

Open approach

Affiliation to the French public healthcare insurance

Disqualifiers

Presence of distant tumor deposits (liver and peritoneal metastases, and/or para-aortic lymph nodes metastases) reveals during intraoperative exploration for patient with malignant pancreatic or periampullary tumor.

Patients with previous abdominal surgery compromising completion of retromesenteric omentoplasty

PD with arterial resection (i.e. resection of hepatic artery, splenic artery, superior mesenteric artery, or celiac axis)

Laparoscopic or robotic PD

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Pancreaticoduodenectomy without retromesenteric omental flap

    Procedure/Surgery

    Resection of the pancreatic head, duodenum, distal common bile duct and gallbladder followed by reconstruction using pancreaticojejunostomy, hepaticojejunostomy, and gastrojejunostomy performed on the first jejunal loop.

  • Pancreaticoduodenectomy with retromesenteric omental flap

    Procedure/Surgery

    All exposed peripancratic arteries should be covered with a retromesentric omental flap

Treatment groups

150 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Retromesenteric omental flap covering all exposed peripancreatic arteriesExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: ControlActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of postpancreatectomy haemorrhage clinically significant (graded B or C)

According to the definition of the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) * Grade B: PPH is early (\< 24h) or late bleeding without any organ failure * Grade C: PPH is late bleeding with organ failure (hemodynamic, renal, cardiac, respiratory failure) * Both grade B and C bleeding require transfusion and/or a procedure to obtain hemostasis including radiological embolization, endoscopic intervention or reoperation.

Time frame
From surgery to post-operative day 90

Secondary outcomes

1

Mortality

Time frame
From surgery to post-operative day 90
2

Overall Morbidity

Assessed by comprehensive complication index (CCI)

Time frame
From surgery to post-operative day 90
3

Rate of grade B+C post-operative pancreatic fistula

According to 2016 ISGPF classification (Bassi C et al. 2016) : -Amylase level in the drainage fluid (or fluid of any collection) exceeding 3 times the upper limit of local laboratory norm of serum amylase level co-existing with clinically significant deviation from the normal post operative course.

Time frame
From post-operative day 3 to post-operative day 90
4

Rate of grade A post-pancreatectomy haemorrhage

\[12:51\] Alain (Invité) Post pancreatectomy haemorrhage requiring neither transfusion nor hemostatic procedure
