Active clinical trials for "Cholecystitis"

The GlideScope® videolaryngoscope usually visualize glottis better than the conventional laryngoscope. Under the visualization of glottis by GlideScope®, the insertion of endotracheal tube, however, is challenging. The goal of this study was to determine which of two stylet (70° vs 90°) was better, as determined by time to intubation.

The Senhance™ surgical robotic system, previously known as Telelap Alf-X (TransEnterix, Morrisville, NC, USA) has recently become available in the UK. It aims to provide the robotic benefits of greater accuracy, dexterity and control with similar operational costs to traditional laparoscopy. Patients randomly received either a standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy or the Senhance assisted cholecystectomy based on scheduled surgery date. A prospectively maintained database of the first 20 patients undergoing cholecystectomy with the Senhance Surgical System was retrospectively interrogated and compared to a concurrently treated group of 20 laparoscopically treated patients during the same timeframe.

The aim of this work is to evaluate which of the two types of operation (traditional/open and laparoscopic) has more impact on patients who were operated electively due to their chronic calculous cholecystitis.

The investigators would like to conduct a prospective, randomized non-inferiority study to compare clinical outcome between endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided gallbladder drainage and percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) in high risk acute cholecystitis patients.

The aim of this study is to compare between early laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus percutaneous cholecystostomy followed by delayed interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy as regards the operative and postoperative complications

In patients with pancreatic duct cannulation initially by chance, double guide wire technique and trans pancreatic sphincterotomy facilitate biliary cannulation and show the similar success rates. The incidence of post-procedure pancreatitis was similar in the two groups, but post-procedure hyperamylasemia was significantly higher in the DGT group.

Opioids may attenuate postoperative hyperalgesia and postoperative nausea and vomiting. Our hypothesis is: opioid-free total intravenous anesthesia with propofol, dexmedetomidine and lidocaine infusions for laparoscopic cholecystectomy may achieve comparable hemodynamic stability during laparoscopy, with lower postoperative analgesic consumption and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

to determine if primary prophylaxis with Endoscopic Ultrasound-Gallbladder Drainage (EUS-GBD) in unresectable cancer patients with the orifice of the cystic duct (OCD) involvement is superior to conservative management (Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage).

In laparoscopic cholecystectomy method, Insufflation of CO2 in abdominal cavity causes positioning of the diaphragm upwards, a decrease in lung's volume and its compliance, an increase in the airway resistance, mismatch between the atelectasis and the ventilation perfusion. Although there are numerous studies in laparoscopic surgery, only a few of them investigate the effects of laparoscopic surgery on the cardiopulmonary and the respiratory mechanics. The investigator aimed To examine the effects of pressure-controlled and volume-controlled ventilation modes on cerebral oximetry and blood gases in laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations.

The objective of this study is to determine if IV acetaminophen administered intraoperatively can decrease the dose of narcotics required for adequate pain control and shorten recovery time in the PACU specifically in obese patients at risk for obstructive sleep apnea.
