Brief Summary:
To assess the efficacy of complete covering using retromesenteric omentoplasty vs. partial covering or no covering of peripancreatic arteries in decreasing incidence of grade B+C post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH), i.e. treated by transfusion and / or radiological or surgical hemostasis after PD in patients with high risk of POPF.
Detailed Description:
Grade B+C postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is a severe complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), more frequently observed in patients with high-risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). To date no randomized controlled trial has assessed the impact of an omentoplasty covering all arteries exposed during PD on the prevention of clinically relevant postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) in patients with high-risk of POPF (fistula risk score between 7 to 10)
In the standard technique, no omental flap is used or an omental flap is only interposed between the pancreatic anastomosis and the hepatic artery, and/or the round ligament wraps the hepatic artery only. An orignal approach is proposed using a J-shaped omental flap created by the mobilization of the greater omentum and ascended through the retromesentric route to cover all the peri-pancreatic arteries at risk of bleeding after pancreatic resection.
Patient fulfilling eligibility criteria will be enrolled during a selection visit (V0) which may take place 45 days and up to 1 day prior PD surgery. Patient will be randomized intra-operatively either in the experimental arm or the control arm for allocation the omental covering technique.
After surgery, the following visits will be planned for the patient follow up:
* V2: End of hospitalization visit which can be done up to 1 day prior discharge.
* V3: POD 45 (±15) days which will take place at the hospital.
* Vai: Additional visit which may take place if the patient is readmitted for postoperative complication. Those visits may take place between V2 and V4 up to 1 day prior discharge.
* V4: POD 90 (±15) days is the end of study visit. It will take place at the hospital.
During those visits, data will be collected to validate the primary and secondary endpoints of the trial.
