Filter by:The objective of this clinical trial is to visualize the bile ducts by injecting a contrast that is only visible with infrared light. For this, we administrate an intravenous low dose of ICG before a cholecystectomy. During the intervention the tissue will be exposed to infrared light to visualize the bile ducts. This technique aims to increase safety in surgery to avoid damaging bile or vascular structures during gallbladder interventions.
Determine differences between lithogenic and non-lithogenic bile composition.
This study evaluates life quality of patients who were diagnosed with gallbladder benign disease through Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) scale. Researchers will establish a database including 20,000 patients. Through observational followup and statistic analysis，identifing a model or scale to standardized surgical indication, help surgeons and patients determine the best treatment decision.
Chronic pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common complication with an incidence ranging between 3-56%. In many cases, however, the cause chronic pain after LC remains unknown and visceral hyperalgesia and central sensitization have been suggested to be part of the pathophysiology. So the purpose of this study is to determine whether Calot's Triangle Block (CTB) combined with patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) is superior to PCIA in reducing the incidence of chronic pain after LC.
In this study, the presence of H.Pylori in the gallbladder mucosa of patients with symptomatic gallstones undergoing cholecystectomy was investigated. Concomitant H.Pylori infection of the gastric mucosa was also investigated to study the relationship of gastric H.Pylori infection to gallstones. It was hypothesized that H.Pylori infection of the gastric mucosa may have a role in the formation of gallstones.
The aim of this study is to assess possible differences between the LESS approach and the standard laparoscopic approach to cholecystectomy. In particular, the Postoperative Quality of Life (QoL) will be investigated by analyzing the followings: length of hospital stay (LoS), postoperative pain, cosmetics and the results of SF 36 questionnaire. Furthermore, operative time, conversion to standard LC rate, difficulty of exposure, difficulty of dissection, and complication rate will be compared.
DOLCE Study: Day-care versus Overnight-stay Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy randomized, controlled trial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and patient acceptance of outpatient LC in Italy. In particular this randomized clinical trial will use the SF-36 as powerful instrument to compare quality of life and global health status after LC performed as a day-care procedure or with an overnight stay. Particular attention is taken to answer to the following methodological issues: - concealed randomization, - ITT analysis, - number of eligible, excluded and refusing patients clearly stated.
Double blind RCT comparing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy using warmed, humidified gas (new) against laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cool, dry gas (usual). Sample size of 200 patients. Outcome measures are postoperative opiate analgesia use, and post operative numerical pain scores.
To test the current standard of care (SOC) treatment for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a group receiving SOC + additional perioperative analgesics in terms of postoperative abilities, PONV, pain and discharge time from the PACU
