NCT07318493
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of antiseptic-coated sutures is better than the use of the standard sutures in preventing postoperative fistulas within 90 days after pancreatoduodenectomy.
Detailed Description:
This study is a randomized-controlled trial comparing the rate of post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. This is a superiority study designed to determine whether the use of antiseptic-coated sutures (intervention arm) is superior to standard sutures (control arm) in regard to clinically significant POPF within 90 days following pancreatoduodenectomy. Patients will be randomized to receive either a pancreatoduodenectomy surgery utilizing antiseptic coated sutures or with non-coated standard sutures. The study hypothesize that the use of antiseptic-coated sutures will be associated with a reduction in the rate of POPF. Both sutures are currently available at our center and utilized in the procedure of interest.
