Sponsor's own description
Objective: To compare the outcomes after elective pancreatic resections using cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA) and selective closure of small blood vessels and branch pancreatic ducts versus surgical scalpel or stapler for the transection of pancreatic tissue. Study design: A randomized controlled, single centre trial. Study population: Two groups of 80 patients (160 in total) scheduled for elective open pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for any indication. Intervention: Transection of pancreatic tissue with CUSA. Control: Standard transection of pancreatic tissue with surgical scalpel (in PD) or stapler (in DP)
