NCT ID: NCT00530998 Completed - Appendicitis Clinical Trials

Minimally Invasive Surgery: Using Natural Orfices

NOTES
Start date: September 2007
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is an observational study of pain and outcomes from females undergoing transvaginal NOTES removal of their appendix or gallbladder. Female subjects who elect to have a transvaginal NOTES removal of their appendix or gallbladder and agree to be in this study (through signature on the informed consent form) will be followed per standard of care, with additional follow-up for data collection including the following: - Subjects will complete a 7 day pain/temperature log after surgery - Subjects will complete a standardized sexual function questionnaire (Female Sexual Function Index) prior to surgery and 6 months after surgery - Subjects will receive a phone call at 6 months and at 1 year after surgery to capture data related to safety, adverse events, hospitalizations and patient satisfaction Additional data related to pain and outcomes will be collected at baseline/screening and at follow-up as necessary.

NCT ID: NCT00486655 Terminated - Cholecystitis Clinical Trials

NOTES-Assisted Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery

Start date: May 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study proposes to evaluate the ability to reduce the size and number of laparoscopic incisions required to perform gall bladder removal by using flexible endoscopic instruments introduced through the mouth, into the stomach and through the stomach wall.

NCT ID: NCT00416234 Recruiting - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Laparoendoscopic Rendez Vous Versus Standard Two Stage Approach for the Management of Cholelithiasis/Choledocholithiasis

Start date: September 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to assess whether combined intraoperative ERCP and CBD clearance with laparo-endoscopic rendez-vous during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (one stage approach) is or not superior to the standard practice of preoperative ERCP, sphincterotomy and CBD clearance followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (two stage approach) in patients with combined cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis.

NCT ID: NCT00370344 Completed - Cholecystitis Clinical Trials

Small-incision Open Cholecystectomy or Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gallbladder Disease

Start date: September 2006
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The trial compares minilaparotomy (small-incision) cholecystectomy with (key-hole) laparoscopic cholecystectomy by randomly allocating patients with gallbladder disease to two groups of surgeons, each group being trained for one of the two methods.

NCT ID: NCT00209885 Not yet recruiting - Cholecystolithiasis Clinical Trials

Optimal Multimodal Analgesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Start date: October 2005
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

To test the current standard of care (SOC) treatment for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a group receiving SOC + additional perioperative analgesics in terms of postoperative abilities, PONV, pain and discharge time from the PACU

NCT ID: NCT00164853 Completed - Clinical trials for Common Bile Duct Stone

Compare Combined Sphincterotomy and Balloon Dilation (ESBD) Versus Standard Sphincterotomy (ES) in Removing Biliary Stones

Start date: September 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

To compare the technique of combined balloon sphincter dilation after an initial sphincterotomy and standard sphincterotomy in the endoscopic removal of large bile duct stones. The investigators hypothesize that combined balloon dilation and sphincterotomy allows for easier stone removal without added morbidities when compared to standard sphincterotomy.

NCT ID: NCT00161083 Completed - Cholecystolithiasis Clinical Trials

UDCA for Symptomatic Gallstone Disease

Start date: November 2001
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

We conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on effects of UDCA on biliary pain and complications in highly symptomatic gallstone patients scheduled for cholecystectomy. We also evaluate potential beneficial effects of impaired gallbladder motility

NCT ID: NCT00131131 Completed - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Epidemiology of Gallbladder Sludge and Stones in Pregnancy

Start date: May 2003
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The specific objective of this project is to study the impact exercise has on gallstone formation during pregnancy when women are at increased risk due to biochemical and physiological alterations.

NCT ID: NCT00124033 Terminated - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Management of Common Bile Duct (CBD) Stones at Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Start date: March 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is designed to assess whether a new technique called facilitated endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is or is not superior to conventional ERCP for removing stones found in the bile duct at the time of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ERCP is an endoscopic procedure used to facilitate the radiological examination and subsequent manipulation of the common bile duct (eg. opening it up, which is called sphincterotomy). Both facilitated and conventional ERCP are performed as a separate procedure after the initial gallbladder surgery. This is a comparative study of these two techniques in a randomised clinical trial. The aim of this randomised clinical trial is to enable surgeons to decide whether placement of a plastic stent at the time of laparoscopic cholecystectomy will improve the success rate and safety of subsequent ERCP and sphincterotomy.

NCT ID: NCT00042549 Terminated - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Gallstones

Start date: May 2002
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of using the Medstone lithotripter to treat single non-calcified gallstones from 4 to 20 mm in diameter.
