Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), more commonly known as Whipple's surgery is the mainstay treatment for pancreatic head and periampullary cancer. Factors contributing to PD outcomes are broadly categorized to disease-related, patient-related and operative factors. Whereas an inexhaustible list of study exists on looking at reducing PD complication rates with respect to the above-mentioned factors, it was only recently that more attention has been given to the impact of perioperative and intraoperative fluid regimes on PD outcomes. This study takes interest in the impact of intraoperative fluid regimes on PD outcomes. The objective of this investigation is to compare the outcomes with the use of intraoperative intravenous human albumin versus standard intraoperative fluid regimes.

- Overall Complications
- timeFrame
- Postoperative complications are recorded from date of surgery to date of documented complications including death, assessed from date of surgery to date of discharge or death, whichever came earlier, for up to 12 months.
- description
- Complications are defined as any deviation from the normal postoperative course, graded from I to V following the Clavien-Dindo classification of complications whereby Grade I are mild complications not needing any additional interventions and Grade V equates to the most severe complication which is death.
