Filter by:The goal of this study is to evaluate the utility and efficacy of an artificial intelligence (AI) model at identifying structures and phases of surgery compared to traditional white light assessment by trained surgeons. Surgeons will perform the procedure in their standard practice, while the AI model analyzes data from the laparoscopic camera. Surgeons will be asked to audibly state when they identify structures and enter different phases of the surgical procedure. The AI will not alter the surgeon's view or be visible to the surgeon, and the surgeon will perform the procedure in the exact same fashion as they typically do.
The management of gallbladder stones (lithiasis) concomitant with bile duct stones is controversial. The management of CBD stones has evolved considerably since the advent of laparoscopic surgery. The more frequent approach is a two-stage procedure, with endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone removal from the bile duct followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The laparoscopic-endoscopic rendezvous combines the two techniques in a single-stage operation. So the aim of this study was was to evaluate one-stage LC with intra-operative endoscopic sphincterotomy (IOES) vs two-stage pre-operative endoscopic sphincterotomy (POES) followed by LC for the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis.
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.
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.
To assess diagnostic performance of Dual Energy CT fo gallblader gallstone detection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Levita Dual Robotic Arm Accessory (DRAA) used with the Levita Magnetic Surgical System (MSS)
The goal of this longitudinal observational cohort study is to examine the changes in the composition and diversity of gut microbiome and systemic metabolome in patients with symptomatic gallbladder stones with or without concomitant common bile duct (CBD) stones who will be undergoing cholecystectomy with or without prior endoscopic sphincterotomy (ERCP-ES) and CBD stones extraction. The main questions it aims to answer are whether there are: - differences in gut microbiome diversity and composition before and after cholecystectomy - differences in systemic metabolome before and after cholecystectomy - gut microbiome and systemic metabolome changes after cholecystectomy Participants will be asked to provide stool, urine, plasma and saliva samples prior to and 1-6 months after cholecystectomy. For patients with concomitant CBD stones who undergo ERCP-ES before cholecystectomy, bile specimens will be collected from the bile duct during ERCP-ES as well as the gallbladder and/or during cholecystectomy.
This clinical trial is a medical intervention study to evaluate the necessity and effectiveness of intravenous ibupropan for postoperative acute pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in benign gallbladder disease. Comparison and evaluation of changes in pain scores after surgery according to the presence or absence of use.
Prevention of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) through lifestyle intervention (MAUCO+) is a clinical trial that aims to improve sarcopenia, aerobic capacity, body composition, and lipid profile, insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, NAFLD, and maintain a healthier lifestyle. Through the implementation of physical activity and nutritional programs.
This is a longitudinal observational study on patients with gastrointestinal and related disease. The study will be conducted for at least 10 years, following each participant over time, as they either go through relapses and remissions, or progression of their disease.
