Active clinical trials for "Cholecystolithiasis"

Central South University in collaboration with Tianjin University developed the first domestically produced Chinese minimally invasive surgical (MIS) robot system which named "Micro Hand S" in 2013. Recently, as the domestic surgical robot research project's main section, this new MIS robot had been authorized to enter the clinical trial stage by the Ethics Committee of the Third Xiangya Hospital at Central South University.

This study evaluates life quality of patients who were diagnosed with gallbladder benign disease through Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) scale. Researchers will establish a database including 20,000 patients. Through observational followup and statistic analysis，identifing a model or scale to standardized surgical indication, help surgeons and patients determine the best treatment decision.

In this study, the presence of H.Pylori in the gallbladder mucosa of patients with symptomatic gallstones undergoing cholecystectomy was investigated. Concomitant H.Pylori infection of the gastric mucosa was also investigated to study the relationship of gastric H.Pylori infection to gallstones. It was hypothesized that H.Pylori infection of the gastric mucosa may have a role in the formation of gallstones.

RS and the RS plane are important anatomical markers in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there are many variations in the shape and orientation of the RS, and the RS plane is an imaginary plane, which can be misjudged by different surgeons. The purpose of this study is to introduce a more intuitive anatomical marker and anatomical plane, hilum plane, and discuss the application value of hilum plane in laparoscopic biliary surgery by comparing it with RS and RS plane.

Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of gallstone disease. There is no systematic review on CGI. We analyze published literature on the subject and plan to propose a diagnostic-therapeutic algorithm for CGI. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) and AMSTAR (Assessing the methodological quality of systematic reviews) guidelines, we will performe a systematic review of English-, German-, Spanish-, Japanese-, and Italian-language articles using PubMed (1946-2021), PubMed Central (1900-2021), and Google Scholar. The search items include 'gallstone ileus', 'colonic gallstone ileus', 'gallstone coleus', 'cholecystocolonic fistula', 'ileo biliar', 'iléus biliaire', 'ileo di calcoli biliary', 'galsteen ileus', 'fístula colecistocolônica', 'fistule cholécystocolique'. Additional studies will be identified by reviewing reference lists of retrieved studies. We will include all cases and case series with a complete description of CGI. Exclusion criteria: (1) small bowel gallstone ileus; (2) gastric outlet gallstone ileus; (3) non-gallstone intraluminal obstruction; and (4) cholecystocolonic fistula without CGI. The primary outcome: a relationship of demographic data, gallstone size, symptoms, obstruction level, risk factors, and comorbidities (biliary history, diverticular disease, cardiovascular disease, radiation of pelvis), diagnostics (palpable mass in the abdomen and rectal exam, laboratory tests, sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy, x-ray, computed tomography (CT), colonic Rigler's triad) with the correct diagnosis. The secondary outcome: the identification of therapeutic options and related survival. The third outcome: to develop a comprehensive diagnostic-therapeutic algorithm for CGI. The study is exempt from ethics approval because we synthesized data from published studies.

The study aims to investigate possible associations between ongoing viral hepatitis (i.e. hepatitis A, B, C or E virus infection) and ultrasound or computed tomography-verified gallstone disease.
