Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between gallstone disease and the risk of inflammatory bowel disease.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the use of Airseal versus a standard insufflation, in children who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, between January 2021 and December 2022. The main questions it aims to answer are: - amount of analgesics consumed postoperatively - mean digital pain scale Data are directly extracted from patients medical files. The investigators will compare the Airseal group (A group) to the Standard insufflation group (S group) to see if the A group consumes significatively less analgesics and are less painful than the S group.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the size and location of cutaneous sensory block area after dual laparoscopic assisted transverse abdominis plane block (L-TAP) with ropivacaine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. L-TAP is applied as a medial subcostal infiltration between midclavicular and central sternal lines and a lateral subcostal infiltration between midclavicular and anterior axillary line bilaterally.
The goal of this work is to assess the best time to perform LC combined with LCBD exploration and the feasibility and safety of such procedure in patients with combined GBS and CBDS after failure of ERCP extraction of CBD stones .
To study the incidence and predictors of developing symptomatic gallstone disease following bariatric surgery.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of early mobilization with consumption of tea, coffee, and warm water on bowel movements in patients who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Design: The study was a single-center, parallel, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: This study was carried out in the general surgery clinic of a university hospital in Türkiye. Metod: The participants were randomized into four equal groups: tea, coffee, arm water and control. At the 4th hour postoperatively, the patients in the intervention group were first mobilized after drinking 200 ml of tea, coffee or warm water within 15 minutes. The first mobilization and oral intake of the patients in the control group started at the 8th hour. Bowel movements, mobilization time, first flatulence, first stool removal and hospital stay of the patients were followed up. Data were collected with "Patient Information Form", "Glasgow Coma Scale", "Patient Mobilization Follow-up Form" and "Patient Undergone Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery Follow-Up Form". Hypothesis: H0-a: Early mobilization and tea consumption have no effect on the first flatulence time in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. H0-b: Early mobilization and coffee consumption have no effect on the first flatulence time in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. H0-c: Early mobilization and consumption of warm water have no effect on the initial flatulence time in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the utility and efficacy of an artificial intelligence (AI) model at identifying structures and phases of surgery compared to traditional white light assessment by trained surgeons. Surgeons will perform the procedure in their standard practice, while the AI model analyzes data from the laparoscopic camera. Surgeons will be asked to audibly state when they identify structures and enter different phases of the surgical procedure. The AI will not alter the surgeon's view or be visible to the surgeon, and the surgeon will perform the procedure in the exact same fashion as they typically do.
Assessment of the differences in stone size and the largest CBD diameter before and after stenting in one or two sessions. Stone clearance and complications were also determined with the ERCP, and factors associated with complete clearance were evaluated in patients with difficult CBD stones (a large [≥ 20 mm] or multiple [≥ 3 sized ≥ 15 mm] CBD stones). And also compared the outcomes with conventional procedure of open surgery.
The management of gallbladder stones (lithiasis) concomitant with bile duct stones is controversial. The management of CBD stones has evolved considerably since the advent of laparoscopic surgery. The more frequent approach is a two-stage procedure, with endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone removal from the bile duct followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The laparoscopic-endoscopic rendezvous combines the two techniques in a single-stage operation. So the aim of this study was was to evaluate one-stage LC with intra-operative endoscopic sphincterotomy (IOES) vs two-stage pre-operative endoscopic sphincterotomy (POES) followed by LC for the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to explore the role of the gut microbiome in patients with gallstone disease. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - if there is a relationship between the gut microbiome and the development of complications associated with gallstone disease (such as pancreatitis and acute cholecystitis) - if there are changes in the gut microbiome following cholecystectomy and the relationship with patient outcomes. Participants will be asked to provide stool samples at fixed time points (recruitment, pre- and post-cholecystectomy if applicable and at 6 months and 3 years. They will also be asked to provide stool samples if they represent to hospital with complications associated with their gallstone disease.
