Filter by:Acute cholecystitis is a complex disease and its management is sometimes controversial. Two main factors contribute to its complexity: the patient's surgical risk and the possibility of concomitant choledocholithiasis. The design of a multidisciplinary protocol between the services of Gastroenterology and Surgery aims to harmonize its management and to adapt it to the most recent guidelines. As it concerns more than one department, it is crucial to analyze its compliance and effectiveness.
Gangrenous cholecystitis is the most common complication of acute cholecystitis. Preliminary data showed that COVID-19 patients have a high risk to present necrotic cholecystitis. The Cholecystitis under COVID-19 pandemic WSES (ChoCO-W) study aims to investigate risk factors and high-risk patients to develop necrotic cholecystitis during this pandemic and their management.
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.
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）
We believe that subtotal cholecystectomy is a safe alternative to total cholecystectomy when the complicated gallbladder is encountered, resulting in decreased or equivalent risk of bile duct injury, major vascular injury, postoperative hemorrhage, infectious complications, and mortality. Additionally, we hope to further elucidate the expected outcomes of the varying subtypes of subtotal cholecystectomy in order to determine the safest approach, assuring the lowest need for secondary intervention, recurrent biliary disease, or need for a completion cholecystectomy.
Acute lithiasis cholecystitis (ALC) is the third most common cause of surgical emergency admission. The initial treatment of ALC associates a medical support and a cholecystectomy, preferentially performed laparoscopically in the first 5 days of evolution. During the surgery, intraoperative cholangiography (CPO) using a contrast product is the "gold standard" to identify the bile ducts. However CPO is performed in approximately 30% of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for ALC is associated with an increase in the rate of biliary ducts injuries compared with cholecystectomy for symptomatic vesicular lithiasis, evaluated at 0.8 % versus 0.1 %. Its higher rate is related to local inflammation that alters the biliary anatomy and complicates the identification of the bile ducts. Indocyanine green facilitates the visualization of extrahepatic biliary structures, which could reduce the risk of biliary wound and shorten the operating time.
Surgeons usually choosing drainage tube for laparoscopic cholecystectomy according to their experiences but not guidelines. The investigators design a RCT to evaluate the role of drainage in LC surgery and compare the clinical results between drainage and no drainage.
The WIRES-T project (Web-based International Registry of Emergency General Surgery and Trauma) has been set up to allow to all the EGS (Emergency General Surgery) and Trauma surgeons to register their activity and to obtain a worldwide register of traumatic and non traumatic surgical emergencies. This will give the opportunity to evaluate results on a macro-data basis and to give index allowing stratifying, evaluating and improving the outcomes.
Prospective Study for the Effects of Biphenyl Dimethyl Dicarboxylate and Ursodeoxycolic Acid Therapy on Liver Function and Quality of Life After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Primary endpoint: peak level of postoperative AST (aspartate transaminase) and postoperative ALT (alanine tansaminase) Secondary endpoint: postoperative GIQLI (Gastrointestinal Quality of Life index) score
