Laparoscopic versus open pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic or periampullary tumours (LEOPARD-2) : a multicentre, patient-blinded, randomised controlled phase 2/3 trial

Jony van Hilst, +99 more
TL;DR: This multicentre, patient-blinded, parallel-group, randomised controlled phase 2/3 trial was performed in four centres in the Netherlands to assess whether laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy could reduce time to functional recovery compared with open pancreatic fistula.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimally Invasive Versus Open Esophageal Resection: Three-year Follow-up of the Previously Reported Randomized Controlled Trial: the TIME Trial.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated 3-year survival following a randomized controlled trial comparing minimally invasive with open esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer, and found that the latter had faster postoperative recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colorectal anastomotic leakage: aspects of prevention, detection and treatment.

TL;DR: For treatment options, no firm evidence is available, but future studies could focus on repair and saving of the anastomosis on the one hand or anastsomotical breakdown and definitive colostomy on the other hand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ablation of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer with Percutaneous Irreversible Electroporation: Results of the Phase I/II PANFIRE Study.

TL;DR: Preliminary survival data are encouraging and support the setup of larger phase II and III clinical trials to assess the efficacy of IRE plus chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant or second-line setting compared with more widely adopted regimens such as chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
