Pancreatic Parenchymal Injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Pancreatic parenchymal injection of N-butyl-2- cyanoacrylate(Histoacryl®)Injection Group.: This procedure is integrated into the standard pancreaticoduodenectomy. Injection of Histoacryl® (n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) mixed with Lipiodol® (1:1 ratio) into the pancreatic parenchyma circumferentially (3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions) around the main pancreatic duct (MPD) orifice, extending 5-8 mm deep and 5-10 mm laterally from the future anastomotic line, avoiding the main pancreatic duct and vessels. Total volume injected typically ranges from 0.2 ml to 0.6 ml. Follow with standard duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy: * Tying down the posterior duct-to-mucosa sutures. * Placing and tying the anterior duct-to-mucosa sutures. * Tying down the posterior outer layer sutures. * Placing the anterior outer layer sutures. Meticulously avoid glue contact with sutures/mucosa Reconstruction: Complete the hepaticojejunostomy and duodenojejunostomy (or gastrojejunostomy).

Standard Pancreaticojejunostomy: Patients randomized to this group will undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy and pancreaticojejunostomy using the standard surgical technique of the institution, without the application of N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate or any other sealant to the pancreatic anastomosis. No placebo injection will be administered.

Study summary

This randomized controlled trial investigates the safety and efficacy of injecting N-butyl-2- cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl®) into the pancreatic parenchyma during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) to enhance the security of the pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) anastomosis and reduce postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rates.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula — Up to 90 days post-surgery
  A drainage fluid of any measurable volume with an amylase level more than three times the upper normal serum level on or after the 3rd postoperative day.
