Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation for Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility and effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) in the treatment of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) in patients who are not suitable candidates for surgical treatment or who refuse surgery. EUS-RFA, as a minimally invasive therapeutic option, may potentially reduce the need for intensive imaging surveillance, prevent further progression of these lesions, and serve as a bridging therapy in selected patients for whom surgical intervention may be considered in the future. At the same time, EUS-RFA could contribute to reducing overtreatment, thereby lowering the risk of complications associated with surgical procedures and leading to an overall reduction in healthcare costs. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety profile of EUS-RFA, including the incidence and severity of adverse events both in the early postoperative period and during the first year of follow-up, as well as to assess the long-term efficacy of EUS-RFA, including disease progression.

Inverted-Ω Anastomosis in Laparoscopic Duodenum-Preserving Pancreatic Head Resection or Laparoscopic Central Pancreatectomy

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if inverted-Ω anastomosis after pancreatic head resection or mid-pancreatectomy works in benign or low-grade malignant tumor. It will also learn about the safety and feasibility of inverted-Ω anastomosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does inverted-Ω anastomosis operate safely? (operative time, blood loss, transfusion and conversion rate) 2. What is the incidence and severity of postoperative complications in inverted -Ω anastomosis? What advantages does it have over conventional anastomosis methods such as roux-en-y？
