Filter by:This clinical registry study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AE05ML device for ligating vessels and tissue structures during laparoscopic surgery using Hem-o-lok® Medium Large (ML) polymer clips. The primary objective is to assess the device's safety and performance, with secondary objectives focusing on device performance characteristics and operator feedback.
Migration of stones from the gallbladder to the common bile duct (CBD) facilitated by gallbladder contractions can be listed as a complication of gallstones disease. In the case of common bile duct stone (CBDs) migration, an endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) should be offered for both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients fit for the procedure. An ERCP with an adequate endoscopic sphincterotomy obtains a complete biliary clearance in about 80-90% of the patients[5]. Whilst most cases are successfully treated with such first-line approaches, about 10-15% need alternative and/or adjunctive techniques to achieve bile duct clearance. These conditions are generally defined as "difficult" bile duct stones, a broad category of cases that encompasses very different scenarios. In the case of irretrievable CBDs, the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) recommends the endoscopic placement of a temporary biliary plastic stent to warrant biliary drainage. Since their introduction, fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FCSEMS) have rapidly been adopted for the treatment of benign biliary conditions such as strictures, leaks, or bleeding. In a recent retrospective study it has been shown that FCSEMS are useful in the approach of difficult lithiasis of CBD with no significant adverse events associated. Moreover, a promising FC-SEMS with a particular prosthesis design (flare type - Niti-S "S-Type" Taewoong) could be even more useful since it reduces the frequent complication of fully covered stents which is the migration of the prosthesis. However, prospective data on the effectiveness and on the adverse events rate on the use of SEMS for incomplete stone CBDs clearance are still lacking. Therefore, the investigators aim to estimate the incidence of adverse events, complete biliary clearance, and migration rate after 3-6 month from ERCP index (stent positioning), comparing plastic stents vs FC-SEMS (Niti-S "flare type" - Taewoong).
laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD) and Robot Pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD), as two minimally invasive methods of pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD), have obvious advantages over traditional open pancreaticoduodenectomy(OPD) in terms of reducing surgical trauma and hospitalization time, but there are few studies on their perioperative safety and prognostic effects.However, there are few studies on the perioperative safety and prognostic effects of both procedures. In this trial, the perioperative data and prognosis of both procedures were collected and analyzed through a prospective, multicenter approach to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of both procedures.
Further studies are needed to investigate the prognosis and perioperative safety of patients undergoing robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy. In this study, clinical data and prognostic data of patients undergoing this procedure were prospectively collected and analyzed to explore its safety and efficacy.
In the era of diagnostic imaging advances, Bile Duct Dilatation becomes a common incidental finding in patients present with either gastrointestinal symptoms or undergone the imaging study for any other complaints. Endoscopic ultrasound enables high resolution views of the biliary system, so it can help detection of different pathologies which cause bile duct dilatation and difficult to be detected by other imaging studies.
Difficult cannulation of the common bile duct is encountered in about 10%of ERCP procedures. This frequently happens in the form of repeated unintentional cannulation of the pancreatic duct. Two valid options are available to facilitate cannulation at this point: Double guidewire technique or performing a transpancreatic precut. This is a randomized trial comparing the efficacy and Safety of double guidwire technique versus transpancreatic precut after three unintentional passages of the guidewire into the pancreatic duct.
The study aims at assessing the effectiveness of Diclofenac for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis. It will be undertaken embedded in the Swedish national register for Gallstone surgery and ERCP (GallRiks). Patients are randomised to Diclofenac prior to the ERCP or no prophylaxis. GallRiks is used to identify which patients fulfill the eligibility criteria and which patients develop pancreatitis after the ERCP.
