| Comparator Agent |
Laparoscopic Assisted Pancreaticoduodenectomy |
Laparoscopic ports inserted, after creating
Pneumoperitoneum. We will divide gastrocolic omentum, enter the lesser sac,
identify the right gastroepiploic vessels, then ligate and divide the same. Then
Kocherisation of duodenum will be done. Next step is to identify the Superior
Mesentric vein at inferior border of pancreas and create a tunnel between neck of
pancreas and SMV-PV axis. Hepatoduodenal ligament will be divided to identify
Right Gastric artery and Gastroduodenal artery. We will divide Stomach at
antropyloric junction, Jejunum near to DJ flexure and Pancreas at neck, above the
tunnel
Upper midline incision will be given from xiphisternum till supraumbilical port,
will divide CBD below level of cystic duct insertion, delivering the Pancreaticoduodenectomy and cholecystectomy specimen
Now for the anastomosis part, Pancreaticojejunostomy and dunking
pancreaticogastrostomy can be done as per Surgeon’s preference
We will create Isolated loop by dividing the jejunum distally and
subsequently End to side, duct to mucosa Hepaticojejunostomy done (Posterior
continuous followed by anterior interrupted), End to side gastro-jejunostomy (or
Loop Gastrojejunostomy), Side to side iso-peristaltic jejuno-jejunostomy and
feeding Jejunostomy will be done completing the procedure
Duration of procedure - 3.5 hours (210 minutes) |
| Intervention |
Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy |
Roof top incision will be given, incise sheath, muscle and peritoneum layer
and enter the peritoneal cavity. Hepatic flexure of the colon will be mobilized,
Duodenum kocherized and SMV, SMA, and PV identified, will dissect Porta to
identify the common hepatic artery. Hepatoduodenal ligament will be divided to
identify Right Gastric artery and Gastroduodenal artery. Tunnel created between
head of pancreas and SMV-PV axis. We will divide Stomach at antropyloric
junction, Jejunum near to DJ flexure and Pancreas at neck, above the tunnel.
We will divide CBD below level of cystic duct insertion, delivering the Pancreaticoduodenectomy and cholecystectomy specimen
Now for the anastomosis part, Pancreaticojejunostomy and dunking
pancreaticogastrostomy can be done as per Surgeon’s preference
We will create Isolated loop by dividing the jejunum distally and
subsequently End to side, duct to mucosa Hepaticojejunostomy done (Posterior
continuous followed by anterior interrupted), End to side gastro-jejunostomy (or
Loop Gastrojejunostomy), Side to side iso-peristaltic jejuno-jejunostomy and
feeding Jejunostomy will be done completing the procedure
Duration of procedure - 3 hours (180 minutes) |

Brief Summary
Modification(s)

Laparoscopic/Minimal Invasive surgeries have suggested to enhance postOperative recovery when compared to their Open counterparts, However, there are concerns about the extensive learning curve due to the complex nature which could increase the risk of complications.
Pancreatoduodenectomy is the only curative treatment option for periampullary cancer, for many benign and premalignant tumors of the region . Pancreaticoduodenectomy was described by Alessandro Codivilla, an Italian surgeon, in 1898.
The primary objective of this pilot study is to conduct a preliminary comparative analysis of postoperative complications and mortality between laparoscopic-assisted Whipple’s procedure and open Whipple’s pancreaticoduodenectomy. By exploring a smaller dataset of patients who will undergo either technique, we aim to provide initial insights into potential differences in outcomes.
The cost-effectiveness and quality of life associated with MIPD have currently only been reported in small observational studies. These studies reported higher operative costs of MIPD, which were compensated by lower postoperative costs because of shorter hospital stay. However, the limited sample sizes of these studies do not allow reliable conclusions. Outcomes of open pancreatoduodenectomy have also improved in recent years with enhanced recovery strategies leading to shorter postoperative hospital stay. These parameters should therefore be assessed in a multicenter randomized trial using an enhanced recovery setting for both MIPD and open pancreatoduodenectomy.
Laparoscopic assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (LAPD), a hybrid procedure combining laparoscopic resection and reconstruction under a small incision, may serve as an alternative on the road to matured application of TLPD. The potential advantages of LAPD include more precise mobilization and dissection compared with OPD, and more precise reconstruction and hemostasis compared with TLPD, which will possibly lead to a more favorable postoperative recovery. Limited literature described the safety and efficacy of LAPD. Meanwhile, comparative study lacked for LAPD and OPD.
The purpose of the present study is to compare the postoperative outcomes of LAPD and OPD - Postoperative complications. |
