Filter by:The goal of this trial is to assess the effect on the quality of life (QoL) of recommending a fat-free diet versus a balanced WHO diet in symptomatic patients with gallstones and in patients undergoing cholecystectomy for gallstone disease. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is balanced WHO diet as good as low-fat diet in terms of patient reported outcomes when gallstone disease is managed non-operatively (RADIGAL-1) or cholecystectomy is performed (RADIGAL-2)? A validated QoL questionnaire (Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index - GIQLI) will be administered both at baseline and during follow-up. Analysis of covariance with ordinary least squares estimation will be applied to estimate between-group differences in GIQLI scores at 3 months (primary endpoint). Patient adherence and the disease-related symptoms occurrence or hospitalizations will also be appraised (secondary endpoint). Participants presenting with biliary colic or acute cholecystitis (RADIGAL-1) or undergoing cholecystectomy for gallstones (RADIGAL-2) will: - be randomly assigned to recommending either a fat-free or a balanced WHO diet . - be contacted via phone call to complete the GIQLI questionnaire and document overall adherence to the diets and secondary outcome events. This trial examines the impact of diet on adverse events in gallstone disease, representing the first randomized study to focus on this aspect.
this study will be conducted involving patients of all genders between the ages of 20 and 60 years who will undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for uncomplicated symptomatic gallstone disease. The study will be conducted in Department of West Surgical Ward, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, after receiving approval from the hospital's Ethical Committee. Patients having other co-morbid conditions, pregnant patients, and those undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy converted to open surgery will be excluded from the study. LFTs and other baseline investigations will be done routinely of every patient. Written informed consent will be obtained from all the patient. Patients will be divided into two groups with 30 patients in each group. Group A will consist of patient in whom ERAS protocol will be implemented and Group B in whom ERAS protocol will not be implemented.
Gallstones have been recognised since antiquity and have been found during autopsies of Egyptian mummies. Following the first successful open cholecystectomy in 1882, it was Eric Muhe, a German surgeon, who performed the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Lapara, the flank; and skopein, to examine) in 1985. The common mechanism of gallstone formation includes cholesterol hypersecretion, alteration in intestinal bile salt, cholesterol absorption and gall bladder hypokinesia, which leads to bile cholesterol supersaturation and nucleation. Incidence of CBD stones in cases of cholelithiasis is around 3.4%-15%.2 Choledocholithiasis can either be primary or secondary. Secondary Choledocholithiasis being more common occurs due to stones originating in gallbladder and then migrating through cystic duct to CBD. Primary bile duct stones originate from within bile ducts and are more common in Asian populations. These stones are associated with biliary stasis and bacteria.
Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic that is widely used in all medical and surgical fields. Many clinical studies have shown that intravenous (IV) lignocaine given in the perioperative period was safe, reduced airway complications, obtunds cough reflex, reduce sore throat, pain, opioid consumption, nausea, length of hospital stay. Multiple animal studies have shown that IV lignocaine was able to lower anaesthetic gas requirements. Desflurane is an anaesthetic gas that has a rapid onset and offset of action. This study aims to evaluate the effect of IV lignocaine infusion on desflurane requirements. Hypothesis of the study is that IV lignocaine infusion reduces desflurane requirements.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of early mobilization with consumption of tea, coffee, and warm water on bowel movements in patients who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Design: The study was a single-center, parallel, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: This study was carried out in the general surgery clinic of a university hospital in Türkiye. Metod: The participants were randomized into four equal groups: tea, coffee, arm water and control. At the 4th hour postoperatively, the patients in the intervention group were first mobilized after drinking 200 ml of tea, coffee or warm water within 15 minutes. The first mobilization and oral intake of the patients in the control group started at the 8th hour. Bowel movements, mobilization time, first flatulence, first stool removal and hospital stay of the patients were followed up. Data were collected with "Patient Information Form", "Glasgow Coma Scale", "Patient Mobilization Follow-up Form" and "Patient Undergone Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery Follow-Up Form". Hypothesis: H0-a: Early mobilization and tea consumption have no effect on the first flatulence time in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. H0-b: Early mobilization and coffee consumption have no effect on the first flatulence time in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. H0-c: Early mobilization and consumption of warm water have no effect on the initial flatulence time in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

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.
Endotracheal tube (ETT) is the gold standard conduit for providing controlled ventilation during general anaesthesia (GA). however, the supra-glottic airway (SGA) devices in particular the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and its variants have become a reliable alternative to ETT for carrying out controlled ventilation. Of the several variants of LMA available today, the proseal LMA (PLMA) is preferred for controlled ventilation. The various advantages of LMA includes, a lower incidence of postoperative sore throat and superior haemodynamic profile during surgery. However, one aspect of providing anaesthesia with LMA compared to ETT is the ability of LMA to maintain equivalent depth of anaesthesia with lower anaesthetic requirement, is quiet intriguing and evidence to this regard is very limited. By measuring the anaesthesia requirement using a robust computerised delivery system such as the closed loop anaesthesia delivery system (CLADS) we can establish for sure the anaesthesia required for maintaining intraoperative mechanical ventilation with the use of these two (ETT and PLMA) airway management devices. This randomised controlled study aims to calculate the anaesthesia requirement as determined by the total amount of propofol consumed for maintaining anaesthesia with ETT versus PLMA
