The objective of this study is to determine if a single spinal shot of morphine can decrease post-operative opioid-use, and thereby decrease opioid side-effects and lead to a quicker recovery after surgery.
The objective of the LEOPARD-2 trial is to assess the safety of MIPD versus OPD and after that to assess the time to functional recovery of MIPD versus OPD for symptomatic benign, premalignant or malignant peri-ampullary disease.
To investigate the effect of variations in the length of bilipancreatic limb on weightreduction in morbidly obese patients undergoing RYGB-surgery.
The primary study objective is to compare the efficacy, as assessed by overall survival, of surgery and neo-adjuvant chemotherapy to surgery alone in patients with resectable liver metastases of colorectal cancer and a high clinical risk score.…

The primary objective is to evaluate the difference in 68Ga-exendin tracer accumulation in the pancreas of patients with and without complete resolution of T2DM after RYGB by quantitative analysis of PET images.
The main objective is to examine if 68Ga-exendin tracer accumulation (i.e. beta cell mass) differs in patients with persisting HH after RYGB compared to matched patients without HH after RYGB. The secondary objectives are:- compare GLP1 and GIP…
