Bilio-pancreatic Complications of Congenital Duodenal Obstructions
450 participantsStarted 2028-12
Plain-language summary
Congenital duodenal obstructions, often grouped under the term duodenal atresias, encompass a range of malformations of the duodenum that cause partial or complete obstruction. In the long term, the main complications described fall within the spectrum of digestive occlusions (anastomotic stenosis, obstruction due to adhesions, and duodenal dysmotility) and may require surgical revisions. Biliary and pancreatic complications, which are embryologically logical, are reported in the form of rare clinical cases. The aim of the research is to identify biliopancreatic complications following duodenal atresia surgery in order to characterize them, estimate their national frequency, and determine any potential iatrogenic risk factors.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients who underwent surgery for duodenal atresia in a pediatric surgery department participating in the study over the past 20 years,
* legal representatives did not object to data collection
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients ≥ 16 years at the time of surgery.
* Objection from the legal representatives of the child or the adult patient to the collection and use of health data
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
