Electrohydraulic Versus Laser Lithotripsy for Treatment of Difficult to Remove Biliary Stones
Gall StonesBile duct stones that can't be removed by conventional means can often be removed after fragmentation by shock waves (lithotripsy). The shock waves that are used for fragmentation of these stones are generated by electric sparks (electrohydraulic lithotripsy) or laser (laser lithotripsy). Although both techniques have been used for many years, there are no studies comparing the efficacy of the two. The purpose of this study is to find out which technique is more effective.

Pain Reduction After Cholecystectomy
CholecystolithiasisPostoperative PainTo determine the effect of combined intracutaneous infiltration and intraperitoneal instillation of 80 mL 0,125% levobupivacaine prior to the start of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on abdominal pain up to 24 hours after surgery.

Evaluation of Laparoscopic Internal Retractor Device
CholelithiasisThe purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the Endograb system which is an internal laparoscopic retractor device. This retractor device is inserted into the abdominal cavity through one of the 5 mm trocars and obviates the need for a separate dedicated trocar for retraction. Therefore enables the reduction of the number of abdominal incisions in a laparoscopic operation.

UDCA for Symptomatic Gallstone Disease
CholecystolithiasisWe conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on effects of UDCA on biliary pain and complications in highly symptomatic gallstone patients scheduled for cholecystectomy. We also evaluate potential beneficial effects of impaired gallbladder motility

Effect of Different Infusion Volume on Perioperative Bladder and Blood Volume in Patients Undergoing...
Cholecystolithiasis and Thyroid NoduleThe objective of the trial was to explore the effect of different infusion volume on perioperative bladder and blood volume in patients undergoing daytime surgery assisted by bladder and vascular ultrasound and transthoracic echocardiography.

Feasibility and Safety of Bile Duct Clearance by Transcystic Sphincter of Oddi Balloon Dilatation...
CholecystolithiasisCholedocholithiasis1 moreTo investigate feasibility and safety of intraoperative bile duct clearance by sphincter of Oddi balloon dilatation via cystic duct at cholecystectomy. Primary endpoint: rate of successful bile duct stone clearance (feasibility). Secondary endpoints (safety): rate of peri-interventional complications (injury to the common bile duct, bleeding, injury to surrounding organs: stomach, duodenum, liver) and short-term postoperative complications (bile leak, cholangitis, lipasaemia, pancreatitis, pneumonia). Duration of procedure. Length of hospital stay.

clınıcal Effects of High-flow Nasal Oxygen Use ın gerıatrıc patıents
Biliary ObstructionOddi's Sphincter Constriction1 moreIt is designed to monitor the efficacy of nasal cannula or hıgh-flow nasal oxygen in geriatric patients for endoscopıc retrograde cholangıopancreatography procedures. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxygen support obtained with low-flow nasal cannula and hıgh-flow nasal oxygen during endoscopıc retrograde cholangıopancreatography in the patient group at risk for adverse respiratory events. We hypothesized that high-flow nasal oxygen administration can prevent adverse respiratory events such as deep sedation and patient position that may endanger the airway safety of patients, and reduce the problems in cardiac and hemodynamic parameters that may develop.

Intraoperative Lidocaine Infusion vs. Esmolol Infusion for Postoperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic...
Gall Stone DiseaseComparison of intraoperative infusion of lidocaine and esmolol in the postoperative requirement of opioid for postoperative pain management after laparoscopic cholecystectomy to decrease opioid related side effects and enhance postoperative recovery with multimodal analgesia approach.

RCT: Multi-modal Analgesia for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
GallstonesCholelithiasis1 moreAnalgesic efficacy of multi-modal analgesia is superior to standard analgesia for patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Topical cystic plate and port-site incision 0.25% bupivacaine significantly reduces pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Warmed, Humidified Carbon Dioxide Insufflation vs Standard Carbon Dioxide in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy...
CholecystolithiasisThe purpose of this study is to determine the effect of warmed, humidified carbon dioxide Insufflation vs standard carbon dioxide in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
