Active clinical trials for "Cholelithiasis"

Laparoscopic surgery has become the golden standard for the removal of the gallbladder. Recently, developments have been made so that operations can be performed through a natural orifice instead of the abdominal wall, thus minimizing the trauma of a procedure. This study compares the transvaginal/transumbilical cholecystectomy with the laparoscopic operation using 2-3mm instruments in female patients. It also examines the benefits and disadvantages related to postoperative pain, cosmetic aspects, and potential physiological alterations to the transvaginal approach that affect sexual intercourse.

Bile 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.

To 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.

The 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.

The study is designed to assess whether repeated dosing with CE-326,597 will cause patients with asymptomatic gallstones (as detected on screening abdominal ultrasound) to become symptomatic. In addition, the study will characterize the pharmacokinetics of CE-326,597.

We 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

The 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.

To 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.

It 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.

Comparison 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.
