Brief summary
PANACOTTA is a multicenter randomized controlled trial including patients with symptomatic chronic pancreatitis and a dilated main pancreatic duct to either robot-assisted or open lateral pancreaticojejunostomy. The PANACOTTA trial will assess the post-operative quality of recovery following robot-assisted versus open lateral pancreaticojejunostomy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) | Daily assessments on Post-operative Day 1 through Day 5 and up to time of functional recovery, defined individually per patient (maximum of 90 days from surgery). | Primary objective: To assess post-operative mean Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) on post-operative days one through five and cumulative loss of QoR-15 until time of functional recovery of robot-assisted (RA) as compared to open lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ) in patients with symptomatic chronic pancreatitis and a dilated main pancreatic duct with a normal size pancreatic head. |
