Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Renalof administration in the treatment of gallstones (cholelithiasis) as determined by ultrasonography and clinical evaluation in elderly patients (aged >65 years). The duration of this double-blind placebo controlled phase 3 clinical trial will be 6 months. The estimated number of patients to be recruited and randomized for the study is 40.
Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) can be performed for different standard operations such as appendectomy and cholecystectomy. During laparoscopic cholecystectomy sometimes a cholangiography (marking the biliary tract with contrast agent) is necessary to identify and preserve relevant structures. The investigators want to evaluate feasibility of performing cholangiography during SILS cholecystectomy.
Publications with different conclusions are available with regard to the correlations between the cholecystolithiasis, cholecystectomy and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this study, the controversial relationship between cholecystolithiasis, cholecystectomy and GERD is discussed through the impedance pH method which started to be used in recent years, a method indicating the gas and liquid (acid and non-acid) gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and esophageal clearance time.
This study included group (A) (60 patients with liver cirrhosis and complaining of gall stone) in whom LC was done using traditional method (TM) by clipping both cystic duct and artery and dissection of gall bladder from liver bed by diathermy, and group (B) (60 patients with liver cirrhosis and complaining of gall stone) LC was done using harmonic scalpel (HS) closure and division of both cystic duct, artery and dissection of gall bladder from liver bed by harmonic scalpel. The Intraoperative and postoperative parameters were collected included duration of operation, postoperative pain, and complications.
The trial aims to assess the value of drains in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) describes a new field of investigational surgery which uses the endoscope as the primary operative tool. The insertion sites for the endoscope include natural orifices such as the mouth, anus, vagina, or urethra. Multidisciplinary teams of surgeons and gastroenterologists collaborate to develop safe and effective surgical techniques via the natural orifice route in order to avoid surgical incisions. Early studies have focused on transvaginal surgery as the access route to the abdomen as it sidesteps troubling questions about infection and closure of the organ. This study is a pilot study to test the feasibility to NOTES transvaginal cholecystectomy using conventional surgical and endoscopic tools.
Prospective randomized trial of single incision versus standard 4 port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hypothesis is that the operative time will be longer with single incision.
Many feasibility studies have been published on Single Port surgery, but no comparative studies have shown any advantages compared to standard laparoscopy. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes and economical issues of laparoscopic cholecystectomies using single port transumbilical approach and three trocars.
The objective of this study is to prospectively compare laparoscopic ultrasound to transabdominal ultrasound for the detection of gallbladder pathology in obese patients presenting for laparoscopic gastric bypass. We hypothesize that laparoscopic ultrasound will be more sensitive and specific for cholelithiasis than transabdominal ultrasound in morbidly obese patients.
Transvaginal hybrid procedures especially the transvaginal hybrid cholecystectomy are of interest as an available NOTES-Procedure for the clinical routine. Few authors have demonstrated the feasibility and safety in a selected patient collective. The aim of this prospective data collection is to evaluate the feasibility in the clinical routine in a non select patient collective. Therefore all patients giving the informed consent to the transvaginal hybrid cholecystectomy will be included and assessed concerning feasibility to perform the transvaginal approach and complete the operation transvaginally.
