Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Other
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymSDD-PRO-Whipple Study
Study objectivesPeri-operative administration of probiotics or selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) has an effect on small bowel bacterial overgrowth and bacterial translocation to lymph nodes in patients undergoing pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) by protecting or enhancing bowel (mucosa) permeability.
Ethics approval(s)Received from the local ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBacterial translocation in pancreaticoduodenectomy
InterventionAfter informed consent, patients will be randomly assigned to three groups:
Group A (n = 10): probiotics
Group B (n = 10): selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD)
Group C (n = 10): standard treatment

All patients will receive standardised anaesthesia and post-operative analgesia. The effect of pre-operative prophylaxis regimes can be assessed by bacterial counts in a small jejunal biopsy and an adjacent lymph nodes. Also the effect of the prophylactic regimes on gut permeability, cytokine production and faecal flora will be assessed.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureIntestinal permeability and bacterial translocation following major pancreaticobiliary surgery.
Secondary outcome measures1. Effect of probiotics compared to control treatment on intestinal permeability after major pancreaticobiliary surgery
2. Effect of probiotics compared to control treatment on bacterial translocation to bowel wall and mesenteric lymph nodes
3. Comparison of probiotics to SDD on parameters of intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation
4. Determination of intestinal bacterial overgrowth after probiotics or SDD peri-operative treatment versus control treatment
5. Determination of systemic and local inflammatory response due to bacterial translocation after probiotics or SDD
Overall study start date01/04/2005
Completion date01/02/2006
