Total Pancreatectomy With Islet Autotransplantation (TPIAT) for High-Risk Patients With Pancreatic Tumors
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Periampullary Neoplasms, Pancreatic Cancer
In brief
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.
