Laparoscopic Assisted Transvaginal Cholecystecomy

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently the standard procedure for removing the gallbladder. This procedure usually requires the insertion of four trocars into the abdomen for passage of laparoscopic instruments; each trocar requires a small incision, which results in postoperative pain and scarring. There has recently been a tremendous surge in interest within the surgical community to further reduce the pain, invasiveness, and cosmesis of laparoscopic surgery. To achieve this goal, surgeons are either reducing the number of trocars placed through the abdominal wall or eliminating them completely The goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of performing transvaginal cholecystectomy while obtaining safe access under laparoscopic visualization. This has the potential to decrease postoperative pain, improve cosmesis, and lead to a shorter recovery following cholecystectomy.

Clinical Trial Description

20 female patients will be enrolled. Patients who are scheduled to undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be invited to participate in this study. The laparoscopic instrumentation will be sterilized using standard methods. Conventional and new laparoscopic and endoscopic equipment will be used for this project; all equipment is commercially available and is FDA-approved for laparoscopic procedures. Access will be obtained into the peritoneal cavity at the umbilicus in a standard fashion, either by use of a Veress needle technique or by insertion of a trocar using the open technique. Through a single umbilical incision, a 5mm trocar will be placed into the peritoneal cavity. A 5mm laparoscope will then be inserted into the peritoneal cavity. This will be used to monitor safe peritoneal entry of a dilating12mm transvaginal trocar. Subsequent operative visualization will be by use of a flexible endoscope which will be placed through the transvaginal port. The gallbladder will be retracted using sutures as well as endoscopic and / or laparoscopic graspers. In order to obtain the critical view of safety [5] the cystic duct and artery will be dissected, ligated and divided by use of conventional laparoscopic and new articulating instruments. The dissected gallbladder will be retrieved transvaginally. If for any reason suitable retraction or dissection cannot be performed using the transvaginal strategy, the case will be promptly converted to a standard laparoscopic approach by the insertion of additional transabdominal trocars. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
