Official Title: The WASH (Water or Saline at High Volumes) Trial: A Randomized Trial to Assess the Survival Impact of Extensive Peritoneal Lavage Using Distilled WAter or Saline at High Volumes After Pancreatic Resec

Brief Summary: This randomized clinical trial studies how well high volume washing of the abdomen works in increasing survival after surgery in patients with pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery. High volume washings may remove free floating cancers present after surgery and help prolong survival in patients with pancreatic cancer.
