The goal of this trial is to assess the effect on the quality of life (QoL) of recommending a fat-free diet versus a balanced WHO diet in symptomatic patients with gallstones and in patients undergoing cholecystectomy for gallstone disease. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is balanced WHO diet as good as low-fat diet in terms of patient reported outcomes when gallstone disease is managed non-operatively (RADIGAL-1) or cholecystectomy is performed (RADIGAL-2)? A validated QoL questionnaire (Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index - GIQLI) will be administered both at baseline and during follow-up. Analysis of covariance with ordinary least squares estimation will be applied to estimate between-group differences in GIQLI scores at 3 months (primary endpoint). Patient adherence and the disease-related symptoms occurrence or hospitalizations will also be appraised (secondary endpoint). Participants presenting with biliary colic or acute cholecystitis (RADIGAL-1) or undergoing cholecystectomy for gallstones (RADIGAL-2) will: - be randomly assigned to recommending either a fat-free or a balanced WHO diet . - be contacted via phone call to complete the GIQLI questionnaire and document overall adherence to the diets and secondary outcome events. This trial examines the impact of diet on adverse events in gallstone disease, representing the first randomized study to focus on this aspect.
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.
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate and investigate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) with the trocar technique by the patient's bedside.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about Efficacy of the ETGBD parallel insertion with fully covered self-expandable metal stent for preventing acute cholecystitis in patients with low cystic duct insertion. In this study, we hypothesized that endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETGBD) with parallel insertion of a fully covered self-expanding metal stent(FCSEMS) through an endoscopic biliary drainage tunnel is superior in preventing complications such as cholecystitis when the gallbladder ducts confluence within the distal third of the common bile duct. And we aimed to confirm its efficacy by comparing the frequency, severity, and rate of invasive additional procedures due to cholecystitis complications to provide evidence of clinical utility.
This retrospective controlled study aims to evaluate risk factors that affect open conversion in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patient characteristics, medical history, biochemical and radiological studies of the patient will searched from the hospital database and factors affecting open conversion will be analysed.
Acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) is the second most frequent surgical condition in emergency departments. The recommended treatment is surgical treatment (ST) and the accepted mortality is <1%, but in severe and/or fragile patients is higher. Despite the Tokyo Guidelines, there no consensus on who is the unfit patient for ST. A recent study has identified 4 risk factors that predicts the mortality in a 92% of patients (ACME) and could help to develop new guidelines in ACC. The aim of this study is to perfom an external validation of the new simplified scoring system for mortality in ACC.
Acute cholecystitis (AC) is the second most frequent pathology in Surgical Emergencies; laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard treatment, but not all patients are fit for surgery. Percutaneous Cholecystostomy (PC) is an alternative to LC but has high comorbidity. There is no protocol in our institution for Non-Surgical Treatment (NST). This study aims to analyse the complications of non-surgical treatment and a new local management algorithm

41-year-old previously healthy patient presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Pain started two days prior to presentation when an abdominal ultrasound in a peripheral hospital showed a 10 mm gallbladder stone with normal laboratory tests; however, her pain was resolved on analgesics. Now the pain was persistent and associated with vomiting and laboratory tests showed elevated bilirubin. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiography was done that showed inflamed gallbladder but with no stones and normal cholangiography. Day one post-operation, while the pain resolved, labs showed elevated liver function tests and hepatitis workup showed acute HAV infection attributing her presentation to HAV induced AAC.
