About this trial
This study evaluates the use of indocyanine green to predict postoperative pancreatic leaks in patients undergoing transection of the pancreas.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Participant scheduled for open pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy for any diagnosis
Participant ≥ 18 years of age
Ability to understand nature and individual consequences of clinical trial
Written informed consent from participant or legally authorized representative
Disqualifiers
Patients with previous history of adverse reaction to contrast dye, ICG or components of the dye
Prior pancreatectomy
Known diagnosis of hepatic insufficiency, hepatitis, liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, or chronic pancreatitis
Because this study focuses on hypoperfusion, patients will be excluded if in postoperative day 3-5 had any of the following: persistent SBP <90 mmHg unresponsive to 1L crystalloid, unexpected ICU transfer, blood transfusion of >2 units intraoperatively or 1 postoperatively, vasopressor treatment or ACLS protocol initiation

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of biochemical leak or fistula after pancreatectomy.
Measurement of drain fluid amylase in post operative period. Defined by definitions of the International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) criteria
Perfusion status
Measured by Indocyanine green (ICG) metrics.
Secondary outcomes
Leak grade via ISGPS classification
Can be either bile leak, Grade B postoperative pancreatic fistula or grade C postoperative pancreatic fistula
Leak grade by ICG metrics
ISGPS classification of leak or fistula and the perfusion metrics measures by ICG.
Best practice usage of ICG for pancreatic surgery
Measures through verbal survey to surgeons or OR members
