Filter by:General anesthesia is routinely administered to patients who undergo elective cholecystectomy. The most commonly used inhalation agents during general anesthesia are sevoflurane and desflurane. Participants who will undergo elective cholecystectomy surgery and meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized. Participants will be divided into two groups. One group will receive sevoflurane, and the other group will receive desflurane. Preoperative and postoperative blood samples will be taken from the participants. After the sample collection process is completed, the ELISA method will be used for measuring blood heme oxygenase-1 protein levels, and the PCR technique will be used for measuring blood heme oxygenase-1 mRNA gene expression. The increase in amounts between the two groups will be compared. This study aims to demonstrate the effects of the most commonly used inhalation agents on the levels of heme oxygenase-1 enzyme, which has been shown to be an important enzyme in cellular protection mechanisms, as well as on mRNA gene expression, and to determine which agent may be more effective in preventing cellular damage at the molecular level.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the body first approach on the rate of conversion to open technique & VBI in patients with obscure calot's triangle.
To compare the outcomes of three ports and four ports Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
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.
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).
The aim of this current study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of a novel technique which is the 5-5-5-8 where the camera port is 5 mm.
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.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) represents the gold standard for treatment of elective and acute of gallbladder diseases, such as acute cholecystitis (AC). However, in elderly patients or in those with severe comorbidities, urgent LC can be associated with increase morbidity (up to 41%) and mortality (up to 19%). In these patients, placement of a percutaneous gallbladder drainage catheter (PT-GBD) or colecistostomy can be utilized to drain the gallbladder until infection is resolved, as a bridge to subsequent surgery or as definitive treatment. PT-GBD, however, is associated with major adverse events (AEs): intra-hepatic hemorrhage, pneumothorax, biliary peritonitis, bile leak from the site of drainage, AC recurrency, self-removal of the drainage by the patient e/o for spontaneous migration. Recently, to overcome PT-GBD limitations, EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) has been introduced as an alternative minimally invasive therapeutic intervention for treatment of patients with high surgical risk who present with AC. The procedure has high technical and clinical success rates and favorable safety profile, with low risk of recurrent AC. EUS-GBD, followed, when needed, by intra-cholecystic endoscopic interventions has been utilized even in relatively young patients as recently reported with successful intra-cholecystic giant stones clearance through the LAMS using previously described endoscopic lithotripsy in patients who rejected surgery and desired gallbladder preservation. A second category of patients who might benefit from EEGBT are elderly individuals with major comorbidities posing them at high surgical risk, who suffer from previous episodes of cholecystitis, recurrent colic episodes due to gallbladder stones, or with biliary acute pancreatitis due to stones migration. Based on all the above considerations, we have designed a prospective, pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of elective EEGBT performed using LAMS stent with electrocautery-enhanced delivery system, followed by intra-cholecystic endoscopic interventions when needed in elderly patients with benign gallbladder diseases at high surgical risk, in whom an indication to perform cholecystectomy was indicated.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, one of the most commonly performed abdominal surgeries, is a gold standard therapy for surgical treatment of benign biliary diseases. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) was first presented in 2016 as the treatment of neuropathic pain in a case series, and gained popularity very quickly due to its safety applicability, and effect on both the visceral and parietal component of pain by providing paravertebral, transforaminal and epidural spread. Preoperative application of ESPB has taken its place as a part of multimodal analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases over time and has been shown to reduce postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption and to improve quality of recovery scores. However, there is no data regarding the use of ESPB in the postoperative period as a rescue therapy.
Modified Perichondral Approach Thoracoabdominal Nerve (M-TAPA) block is a novel block that provides effective analgesia of the anterior and lateral thoracoabdominal walls during laparoscopic surgery, in which local anesthetic is applied only to the lower side of the perichondral surface. M-TAPA block is a good alternative for analgesia of the upper dermatome levels and the abdominal lateral wall, and may be an opioid-sparing strategy with satisfactory quality improvement in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
