Feasibility and Effectiveness of Augmented Reality Assistance System for Pancreatic Surgery

Exploring augmented reality to help with pancreatic surgeries.

Phase N/A

Pancreatic cancer often requires *surgery* to remove the tumor, which can be difficult because of the pancreas' location near important blood vessels. Surgeons need to be very precise to avoid problems during surgery. Augmented Reality Assistance Systems (ARAS) are special tools that use advanced technology to create 3D images to help doctors see inside the body during surgery. These systems have been used in other types of surgeries, but not much in pancreatic surgeries. This study wants to see how effective ARAS is during pancreatic surgery, as it might help make the surgery more precise and improve results.

  • Study involves wearing ARAS during surgery to assist the surgeons.
  • Only involves adults over 18 years who are having specific pancreatic surgeries.
  • Preliminary study results will be published in a scientific journal.

Eligibility: People over 18 who agree to participate and are having a pancreatectomy can join. However, if the tumor cannot be removed, they can't be part of the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
