What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying patients with pancreas problems who undergo surgery to remove part of the pancreas. The study aims to understand how this surgery affects patients' quality of life over time and how satisfied they are with their decision to have the surgery. This information may help improve discussions between doctors and patients before surgery and better align treatment with patients' goals. The study observes patients who have pancreatic removal surgery for any reason. It collects information about their quality of life before the surgery, immediately after, and at several points up to two years later. The study gathers data on various aspects including social and emotional functioning, decision-making satisfaction, resilience, financial impact, fear of cancer returning, and nerve-related symptoms. Participants will complete questionnaires and surveys at baseline (before surgery), immediately after surgery, and at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months following surgery. The research team measures changes in quality of life, emotional and social health, financial concerns, and feelings about their surgery decisions. This long-term follow-up helps understand how patients' experiences evolve and supports ongoing care planning.
