Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Temporary fibrin glue occlusion of the main pancreatic duct in the prevention of intra-abdominal complications after pancreatic resection: prospective randomized trial.
To determine whether temporary occlusion of the main pancreatic duct with human fibrin glue decreases the incidence of intra-abdominal complications after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) or distal pancreatectomy (DP). ⋯ Ductal occlusion by intracanal injection of fibrin glue decreases neither the rate nor the severity of intra-abdominal complications after pancreatic resection.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Recurrences after conventional anterior and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: a randomized comparison.
To study the long-term recurrence rate and other complications after conventional and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. ⋯ Patients with inguinal hernia who undergo laparoscopic repair have fewer recurrences and less chronic inguinal pain than those who undergo conventional open repair. The Bassini repair produces unacceptably high recurrence rates.
