NCT ID: NCT01103570 Completed - Clinical trials for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Cholecyst- Versus Cystic Duct Cholangiography During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Start date: March 2009
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Standard cystic duct cholangiography (CDC) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be difficult, time consuming and bile duct injury may be caused by attempts to cannulate the cystic duct. Operative cholangiography performed by direct puncture of the gall bladder fundus or Cholecystocholangiography (CCC) is a valid and easier alternative.

NCT ID: NCT01099319 Completed - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Renalof in the Treatment of Elderly Patients With Gallstones

Start date: January 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT01056250 Completed - Cholecystolithiasis Clinical Trials

SILS Cholecystectomy: Cholangiography of the Biliary Tract

Start date: September 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT01052727 Not yet recruiting - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Day-care Versus Overnight-stay Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Randomized Controlled Trial.

DOLCE
Start date: n/a
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

DOLCE Study: Day-care versus Overnight-stay Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy randomized, controlled trial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and patient acceptance of outpatient LC in Italy. In particular this randomized clinical trial will use the SF-36 as powerful instrument to compare quality of life and global health status after LC performed as a day-care procedure or with an overnight stay. Particular attention is taken to answer to the following methodological issues: - concealed randomization, - ITT analysis, - number of eligible, excluded and refusing patients clearly stated.

NCT ID: NCT01047085 Completed - Clinical trials for Gastroesophageal Reflux

Does Cholecystectomy Increase the Esophageal Alkaline Reflux? Evaluation by Impedance-pH Technique

Start date: April 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT01009450 Completed - Clinical trials for Gall Bladder Stone in Cirrhotics

Clipless Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Using Harmonic Scalpel in Cirrhotic Patients a Prospective Randomized Study

CLC
Start date: August 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT00986544 Completed - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Drain After Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Start date: December 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The trial aims to assess the value of drains in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

NCT ID: NCT00984100 Completed - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) Transvaginal Cholecystectomy

Start date: January 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT00981604 Completed - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) Versus Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

SILS
Start date: August 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Prospective randomized trial of single incision versus standard 4 port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hypothesis is that the operative time will be longer with single incision.

NCT ID: NCT00974194 Completed - Cholecystolithiasis Clinical Trials

Safety and Cost-effectiveness Study of Single Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies

SPoCOT
Start date: September 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.
