Filter by:This is an observational study comparing perioperative quantitative EEG parameters between the conventional propofol/remifentanil and remimazolam/remifentanil. We aim to compare and analyze the differences in EEG patterns during the postoperative recovery in a group that underwent remimazolam and remifentanil-based total intravenous anesthesia(TIVA), in comparison to propofol and remifentanil-based TIVA
Ultrasound (US) guidedTransversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAPB) is performed by injecting a local anesthetic into the plane between the internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscles and provides analgesia in the anterolateral walls of the abdomen after abdominal surgery. Ultrasound-guided TAPB has been commonly used for many years. US-guided External oblique intercostal block (EOIB) is a novel block performed by injection of local anesthetic between the external and internal oblique muscles at the level of 6th-8th ribs. This block provides abdominal analgesia between T6 and T10 levels. There are studies in the literature showing that it provides effective analgesia. However, there is no study comparing TAPB and EOIB yet. In this study, we aim to compare the effectiveness of US-guided TAPB and EOIB for postoperative analgesia management after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Our primary aim is to compare patient recovery scores (QoR15 Turkish version), our secondary aim is to compare postoperative pain scores (24-hour NRS), postoperative rescue analgesic use (opioid/meperidine), and opioid-related side effects (allergic reaction, nausea, vomiting).
Gallstone is a common disease in China.At present, the prevalence of gallstones in China is 15 %, and about 210 million people are sick. Acute cholecystitis is acute gallbladder inflammation, is one of the main complications of cholelithiasis or gallstones. The removal of gallbladder and gallstones in patients with acute cholecystitis in the presence of biliary pain will prevent the recurrence of gallbladder and reduce the risk of cholecystitis progression. If gallbladder perforation is not treated in time, the mortality rate is 30 %. Acute acalculous cholecystitis without treatment will be life-threatening, with a mortality rate of up to 50 %. At present, the vast majority of patients with acute cholecystitis are treated with 4-hole traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy and open cholecystectomy. Their postoperative quality of life, pain and scar-related complications, remain major factors for patients.In recent years, with the renewal of the concept of minimally invasive surgery and the continuous advancement of instruments and technology, single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy has also maximized the quality of life after surgery and reduced postoperative pain and scar-related complications. At present, there are few reports on randomized controlled clinical trials of SILC in patients with acute cholecystitis, and there is a lack of large sample size studies.Due to the difficulty of SILC operation, the longer learning curve, the different equipment conditions and technical characteristics of each center, and the lack of standardized training, there is no effective consensus on the application indications and operation procedures of SILC in acute cholecystitis surgery. Based on the current status, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of SILC on postoperative quality of life, postoperative pain, scar assessment and postoperative complications in patients with acute cholecystitis, so as to propose a standardized single incision laparoscopic operation procedure in the treatment of acute cholecystitis.
The modified laparoscopic transcystic biliary drainage which we developed in the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis has some advantages over conventional techniques. Here, a 7-Fr triple-lumen 30-cm central venous catheter was adopted to replace conventional 5-Fr ureteral catheter, which extended the function of the C-tube. Then we developed a continued suture and circling manner by the V-Loc closure device, which simultaneously covered and anchored the C-tube. Theoretically, this modified laparoscopic transcystic drainage not only provide safe and effective bile duct drainage, but also provide a convenient access of treatment for postoperatively retained bile duct stones, which may expand the indication of initially laparoscopic operation in the management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis.
The purpose is to find out if intraoperative acupuncture performed by needling PC 6 and LI4 point bilaterally, and Yin Tang point will help reduce the incidence postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy when added to a prophylactic regimen consisting of ondansetron and dexamethasone. The hypothesis is that the addition of this acupuncture treatment to ondansetron and dexamethasone given for prophylaxis will help reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy when compared to patients receiving ondansetron and dexamethasone without acupuncture.
Objectives Acute cholecystitis commonly occurs in elderly patients who are at high-risk for surgery. Whether upfront Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is advantageous over antibiotics first for mild acute cholecystitis is uncertain. Hypothesis to be tested The aim is to compare EUS-GBD versus standard protocol (antibiotics first) as a definitive treatment, in very high-risk patients suffering from mild to moderate acute cholecystitis. We hypothesize that EUS-GBD can reduce the 1-year risk of recurrent acute cholecystitis. Design and subjects This is an international randomised controlled study including consecutive patients suffering from acute cholecystitis that are very high-risk for cholecystectomy. The patients would be randomized to receive EUS-GBD or antibiotics first. Interventions: EUS-GBD versus antibiotics Main outcome measures: The primary outcome is the rate of recurrent acute cholecystitis in 1 year. Other outcomes include technical and clinical success, post-procedural pain scores, analgesic requirements, adverse events, re-admissions, re-interventions, quality of life and cost analysis. Data analysis All outcomes would be analysed according to the intention-to-treat principle. Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test will be used to compare differences in recurrent acute cholecystitis in 1 year. A health economic analysis will also be performed. Assuming a 17.1% difference in recurrent acute cholecystitis rates, a 2-sided P value of 0.05, a power of 80%, and a 10% dropout rate, 110 patients is required. Expected results The findings of this study can help establish the role of EUS-GBD in management of high-risk patients suffering from acute cholecystitis over antibiotics alone and Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the use of Airseal versus a standard insufflation, in children who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, between January 2021 and December 2022. The main questions it aims to answer are: - amount of analgesics consumed postoperatively - mean digital pain scale Data are directly extracted from patients medical files. The investigators will compare the Airseal group (A group) to the Standard insufflation group (S group) to see if the A group consumes significatively less analgesics and are less painful than the S group.
The aim of this manuscript is to illustrate a new method permitting safe cholecystectomy in terms of complications with respect to the common bile duct (CBD). The core of this new technique is identification of the continuity of the cystic duct with the infundibulum. The cystic duct can be identified between the inner gallbladder wall and inflamed outer wall. In the last 2 years, 3 patients have been treated with the reported technique without complications. Among the various cholecystectomy procedures, this is a new approach that ensures the safety of the structures of Calot's triangle while providing the advantages gained from total removal of the gallbladder.
Gallbladder stone affects 10-15% of the adult population, and about 15-25% of these patients presented with acute cholecystitis (AC). Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is considered the treatment of choice for patients with AC, and recent studies suggest that early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) is preferable. However, the optimal time for ELC in AC is still controversial. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) was advised for patients presented within 72 hours, while conservative treatment and planned delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) after six weeks was recommended for patients presented after 72 hours. Surgeons almost always encounter patients with AC lasting more than 72 hours and these patients consistently refuse conservative treatment and postpone for the DLC.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to explore the role of the gut microbiome in patients with gallstone disease. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - if there is a relationship between the gut microbiome and the development of complications associated with gallstone disease (such as pancreatitis and acute cholecystitis) - if there are changes in the gut microbiome following cholecystectomy and the relationship with patient outcomes. Participants will be asked to provide stool samples at fixed time points (recruitment, pre- and post-cholecystectomy if applicable and at 6 months and 3 years. They will also be asked to provide stool samples if they represent to hospital with complications associated with their gallstone disease.
