Theoretically, transecting the pancreatic neck more distally has both advantages (more blood supply, and more central pancreatic duct) and disadvantages (maybe smaller the pancreatic duct) in preventing POPF. This theoretical contradiction pushed us to organise this trial to explore the impact of the level of pancreatic transection in clinical practice. We conduct this randomised trial with the hypothesis that extended pancreatic neck transection has superiority to conventional pancreatic neck transection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The LPDEXCEPT (Extended pancreatic neck transection versus conventional pancreatic neck transection during laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy) trial is a multicentre, randomised-controlled, open-label, superiority trial in 4 centres whose annual surgical volume for LPD is more than 25 cases with pancreatic surgeons who had completed their learning curve. A total of 154 patients who meet the inclusive and exclusive criteria are randomly allocated to the extended pancreatic neck transection group or conventional pancreatic neck transection group in a 1:1 ratio. The stratified randomised block design will be applied, with stratified factors are surgical centre and the diameter of the main pancreatic duct measured by preoperative CT scan (preMPD). The primary outcome is the incidence of the clinically relevant pancreatic fistula.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ethics Committee on Biomedical Research of West China Hospital of Sichuan University has approved this trial in March 2023 (approval no. 2023-167).
