Filter by:The goal of this retrospective cohort and pragmatic pilot trial is to examine the social determinants of health in racial and ethnic minority patients from socially vulnerable backgrounds who have Gallbladder Disease (GBD). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What racial barriers in outcome exist for socially vulnerable patients with gallbladder disease? 2. How effective is telemedicine consultation in improving surgical outcomes for socially vulnerable patients with gallbladder disease? Study participants will be asked to undergo telemedicine consultation in place of regular consultation with their doctor before undergoing treatment. Researchers will compare the telemedicine consultation groups with traditional care patients to see if telemedicine consultation is effective at reducing surgical disparity outcomes.
This study is being done because the investigators wish to study ways to improve recovery after surgery. Injury, including surgical injury, causes inflammation. Inflammation is the body's attempt to protect itself and to start the healing process. Some surgical complications are related to the body's natural inflammatory response. Although mainly a healing response, inflammation can also have side effects which delay recovery. The investigators wish to determine the effect of a medication known as ibuprofen on recovery. You may know ibuprofen by the name Advil or Motrin. The medication will be given through the vein prior to the start of the surgery. Three blood samples will be taken, two while the patient is under anesthesia. The subject will be asked to complete several questionnaires.
Laparoscopic techniques have allowed surgeons to perform complicated intrabdominal surgery with minimal trauma. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been recognized since 1987 as the gold standard procedure for gallbladder surgery. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) was developed with the aim of reducing the invasiveness of conventional laparoscopy. In this study we aimed to compare results of SILS cholecystectomy and three port conventional laparoscopic (TPCL) cholecystectomy prospectively
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare the use of deep or standard neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in combination with low or standard insufflation pressure in participants undergoing a surgical procedure, laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Insufflation refers to the injection of carbon dioxide into the abdomen during the laparoscopic surgery, to allow visualization of and access to the surgical field. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the use of sustained deep NMB improves the surgeon's overall satisfaction with surgical conditions as compared to standard NMB. The in-patient surgery is performed on Day 1 and the participant remains hospitalized for at least 48 hours following the surgery (or at least 24 hours following the surgery, if local practice does not allow 48 hours of hospitalization post surgery). On Day 8, a follow-up visit/contact including all participants occurs.
The aim of this study was to show that this technique is feasible, safe and easily reproducible and to evaluate the selection criteria for a three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy using a 2-mm mini-port.
The investigators hypothesize that the da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System provides real-time endoscopic near infrared fluorescence imaging of the biliary anatomy as defined as identifying biliary vessels; either cystic duct, common hepatic duct (CHD) or common bile duct (CBD). Irradiation given to the patient during a classic cholangiography can be reduced.
Laparoendoscopic single site cholecystectomy is associated with better cosmetic results and recovery compare to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The study will document being able to successfully remove a subject's gallbladder through the vagina (laparoscopic visualization)using a small collection of study surgical tools.
The objectives of this trial are: 1. to assess the feasibility and safety of performing SILS™ Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy 2. monitor and compare the outcomes of SILS™ Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy versus 4PLC to objectively document the scientific merit and the perceived advantages of SILS™ Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
The purpose of the study is to determine the best evaluation for patients with idiopathic (unexplained) pancreatitis.
