Filter by:To provide preventive and therapeutic strategies for participants with gallstones after gastric cancer by comparing the risk of postoperative gallbladder stone formation with two different resection ranges using the Roux-en-Y reconstruction modality in radical gastric cancer surgery.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) on patient outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The goal of this observational study is to describe the various clinical, biological and radiological manifestations of LPAC syndrome, defined according to standard diagnostic criteria, or according to criteria extended to all symptomatic recurrent biliary lithiasis, and delineate the various possible evolutions. Participants will be followed for 5 years and the inclusion sites will collect the necessary data at least once a year as part of routine patient care. A quality of life self-questionnaire will be completed by participants during these visits.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has an increased incidence of extrahepatic biliary injury or bleeding. The common hepatic duct is on the medial border of the Calot triangle and at risk of injury. So, The investigators describe a new safety triangle with a more critical view of safety that is far from dangerous. Retrospectively, from December 2019 until March 2023, the investigators will review the medical records for patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patients underwent cholecystectomy using a new technique in approaches to critical safety with recorded video and available follow up data were included. The patients who had intraoperatively extensive gallbladder adhesion that interfere with the dissection in this area, improper visualization of the cystic duct, patients whose did not operate by this new technique and patients whose have not video record of laparoscopic cholecystectomy will excluded from the study.
The main aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of dexamethasone on common bile duct cannulation time during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with biliary pathologies. The study will also study the effects of dexamethasone on total procedure time and total fluoroscopy time during ERCP. Participants will be divided into two groups, treatment group and placebo group. Patients in treatment group will receive dexamethasone and those in placebo group will be given normal saline before undergoing ERCP. The results in both groups will be compared to determine the effects of dexamethasone.
Treatment and follow-up strategies for silent gallbladder (GB) stones in patients before KT (Kidney transplantation) remain unknown. Therefore, we aimed to assess the risk of gallstone-related biliary complications and post-cholecystectomy complications in KT recipients, to elucidate the role of prophylactic cholecystectomy in this population.
Cholecystectomy is recommended for patients with both gallbladder (GB) and common bile duct (CBD) stones to prevent recurrent biliary complications, unless there are specific reasons for surgery is considered inappropriate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of transpapillary gallbladder stent placement in surgically unfit patients with both CBD stone and gallstone.
Obstructive jaundice is observed in 10-80 % of gallstone disease cases. The conventional tactics for the management of patients with obstructive jaundice is to remove biliary hypertension by using endoscopic or minimally invasive methods. The final surgical treatment is performed after jaundice reduction and normalization of hepatic functions. We suppose that the administration of the drug Remaxol (Inosine + Meglumine + Methionine + Nicotinamide + Succinic acid) during the perioperative period shortens jaundice duration and decreases the complications rate.
Around 10-18% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy for gallstones have common bile duct (CBD) stones. Currently, various procedures for the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis are available including open cholecystectomy plus open common bile duct exploration (OC+OCBDE), laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LC+LCBDE), may be trans-cystic or trans-choledochal, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LC+ERCP), which may be performed pre, at, or after LC.
The aim of the study is to establishing a standardized biobank and a clinical information database for patients with benign and malignant tumors of the biliary system. With follow-up plans and advanced multiomics technology, a multiomics database for patients with benign and malignant tumors of the biliary tract will be further established. Based on the above work, real-world clinical research on the diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract tumors is about to be carried out, and a high-standard cohort research foundation is laid for precision therapy based on multiomics characteristics and molecular typing of biliary tract tumors.
