Active clinical trials for "Cholecystitis"

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the effect of lidocaine and dexamethasone on postoperative quality of recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gall bladder via 'keyhole surgery') is a common procedure. This can be performed as an emergency operation when a patient has a complication of gall stones such as acute inflammation or pancreatitis. There are several trials which demonstrate that placing local anaesthetic inside the abdomen at the site of gall bladder surgery during a planned elective operation decreases post operative pain. This is the first trial to investigate the efficacy of this local anaesthetic during emergency cholecystectomy.

The present study aimed to compare early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy after ERCP for CBDs and gallstones.

A single-center randomized comparison of bedside ultrasound (US)-guided trocar technique versus the US-guided Seldinger technique for percutaneous cholecystostomy

To predict the majority of Mallampati score for the patients in Qassim region who undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery.

Acute cholecystitis commonly occurs in elderly patients that are high-risk candidates for surgery. Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is frequently employed for gallbladder drainage in these patients. Recently, the feasibility of EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EGBD) in treatment of this condition has been demonstrated but how the two procedures compare to one another is uncertain. The aim of this study is to compare EGBD versus PC as a definitive treatment, in high-risk patients suffering from acute cholecystitis in a randomized controlled trial. We hypothesize that EGBD can reduce the morbidity, re-intervention and mortality when compared to PC.

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.

This study is conducted to determine whether the occurrence of hypotension is reduced by the combined use of remimazolam and remifentanil compared to the conventional combination use of propofol and remifentanil. Patients enrolled in the study are infused continuously with either propofol or remimazolam from the start of anesthesia to the end of surgery.

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.
