Filter by:The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of pain and mean hospital stay in patients with and without drain insertion, following laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acutely inflamed gallbladder.
The main objective of this pilot study is to show feasibility to collect peri-operative and postoperative clinical data of the study group of gastric bypass without cholecystectomy compared with the control group of gastric bypass with cholecystectomy. Our hypothesis is that the approach without cholecystectomy would be superior in terms of a decrease of perioperative adverse events and postoperative complications, as well as lenght of operation, lenght of hospital stay, overall costs with a very low risk of biliary complication in the follow up. These findings could be helpful to build a baseline for a future randomized controlled multicenter study allowing significance of these results and help orientate surgeons towards best surgical care of the gallbladder with confirmed absence of stones in the obese patient undergoing gastric bypass.
In this study, the investigators compared the surgical outcomes according to the type of antibiotics before surgery in patients who did not have evidence of systemic infection during acute cholecystitis. The primary purpose of the study was to determine the type of preoperative antibiotics in patients who were scheduled for cholecystectomy, because of the mild (grade I) or moderate (grade 2) acute inflammatory gallbladder disease without gallbladder perforation. The investigators compared the incidence of postoperative complications according to the types of preoperative antibiotics(the first-generation vs second-generation cephalosporin). The secondary purpose of the study was to confirm the clinical efficacy of first-generation cephalosporins following the use of empirical antibiotics. And the investigators compare with postoperative pain, postoperative hospital stay, re-hospitalization, and need for additional treatment. In addition, the investigators compare the postoperative complications, such as atelectasis and postoperative ileus.
Acute cholecystitis is a common disease in the daily practice of general surgery. There are various methods in the treatment of this disease, such as early cholecystectomy, medical treatment, six weeks later cholecystectomy and cholecystostomy. However, it is not satisfied with objective criteria that these methods are selected according to which patient groups. With this observational-prospective study, the benefit of first visit scoring on 'which of the treatment options will be most suitable for the patient' will be investigated. Thus, rare but severe complications of cholecystectomy can be prevented.
This is a prospective, descriptive, observational research study designed to observe and document the clinical practice by domain experts, and how the knowledge of new findings that are published in the medical literature affect clinical decision making. The study will evaluate risk factors and co-variants, including genetic variants that are associated with disease progression such as pain, inflammation, organ dysfunction, disability and quality of life.
The need for antibiotics to reduce surgical site infection after cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis is still controversial. The researchers aimed to investigate the effect of antibiotics prescribed on surgical site infection when discharged to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis.
Zaghiyan et al hypothesized that Laparoscopic TAP was noninferior to US-TAP and performed a randomized clinical trial comparing Laparoscopic TAP, US-TAP, and no TAP in minimally invasive colorectal surgery. The authors reported that LTAP was superior to UTAP in achieving pain control and minimizing opioid use in the first 24 hours after colorectal surgery. This prospective randomized, controlled trial will be performed to assessed the efficacy of laparoscopic subcostal TAP block (LSTAP) compared to ultrasound-guided subcostal TAP (USTAP) block after laparoscopic cholecystectomy regarding postoperative pain scores in the first 24-hours after the intervention and analgesic requirements.
This is a prospective, multi-centre trial conducts at 4 ERCP centers in China designed to determine if chronic gallbladder diseases increase the incidence of Post-Endoscopic Retrograde Choledochopancreatography-Choledocholithiasis (PEC）
In this retrospective study, the investigators evaluate the relationship of post-ERCP-choledocholithiasis(PEC ) and the gallbladder status as a risk factor.
The ideal management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis is an open cholecystectomy (OC) with the common bile duct (CBD) exploration worldwide. The single setting 2-stage approach- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST), and CBD clearance followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) offers an advantage, mainly by reducing the hospital stay, the cost, and the morbidity. Investigators did a prospective study in patients admitted for the management of the cholecysto-choledocholithiasis in the Department of Surgery at the Lumbini Medical College and Teaching Hospital from November 2012- October 2015. They underwent 2-stage ERCP+LC in a single setting and investigators compared them with 2-stage OC+CBD exploration in a single setting approach. The patients with the open procedure were the investigator's control groups. All the included cases in the study were elective.
