Official title
Total Pancreatectomy With Islet Autotransplantation (TPIAT) for Patients With Periampullary Neoplasms at High Risk for Pancreaticojejunostomy Leakage After Pancreaticoduodenectomy: a Single-center, Prospective, Single-Arm, Observational Study
Overview
This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm study evaluating the safety and feasibility of total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) in carefully selected adult patients with periampullary neoplasms who are considered at high risk for postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Eligible patients will undergo open or robotic TPIAT as part of the patient's surgical management. Perioperative outcomes, postoperative complications, metabolic outcomes, and early oncologic outcomes will be collected prospectively as part of routine clinical care and analyzed to assess the safety and feasibility of this approach.
Interventions
- Procedure Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Autotransplantation (TPIAT)
This intervention involves a total pancreatectomy with subsequent islet autotransplantation for patients diagnosed with high-risk periampullary neoplasms. The procedure is performed following strict surgical protocols and includes resection of the pancreas while aiming to eliminate the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Islet cells are isolated from the nontumorous pancreatic tissue and infused into the portal vein to maintain endocrine function, thus reducing the likelihood of bri
Primary outcome measures
- Incidence of Postoperative Complications [Time frame: Within 90 days post-surgery.]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Length of Hospital Stay [Time frame: Within 90 days post-surgery.]
