Fluorescence Versus Intraoperative Cholangiography in the Visualization of Biliary Tree Anatomy...

CholelithiasisGallbladder Polyps

The burden of iatrogenic bile duct injury (BDI), the most feared complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), is extremely high and the repercussions on the patient's outcomes may be severe ranging from intraoperative repair to liver transplant or patient's death. Different techniques have been proposed to prevent BDI. Our hypothesis is that a fluorescence-based Imaging would allow visualization of the biliary tree anatomy as good as with the Intraoperative Cholangiogram with several main advantages: ease of use lack of invasiveness absence of ionizing radiation to the patient and the operating staff performed prior to any dissection (prior to "critical view of safety") Capacity of enhanced-reality based on virtual cholangiography (computer treatment of MRI images) to guide biliary tree anatomy visualization will be also evaluated in this study. The study requires a 2-month patient participation.

Comparison of Coagulation Factors During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Gall Stone DiseasePolyp

Pneumoperitoneum is formed with CO2 during laparoscopic abdominal operations. Effect of pneumoperitoneum on coagulation factors is not well known. In our study the investigators aimed to compare the general anesthesia(GA) and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CA) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) with effect on coagulation factors. Fifty patients will be randomly assigned to either the Laparoscopic cholecystectomy under Combined anaesthesia (25 patients) or Laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia (25 patients). All patients has symptomatic gall stone disease or polyp of gall bladder.

Multimedia Informed Consent & PROMs in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Gallstone Disease

Collection of PROMs (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) data from patients before and after an operation to remove their gallbladder for the treatment of symptomatic gallstones. This PROMs data will provide information to clinicians and trusts about the health gain following this type of surgery and the impact on patient's quality of life. This information will be collected by the implementation of the patient Website aboutmyop.org. This will not only allow patients to complete quality of life (PROMs) questionnaires online, but will also allow them to access information on their condition and necessary surgery, in addition to post-operative follow-up.

Does ICG Fluorescence Cholangiography Identify Critical View of Safety Earlier in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy...

Cholelithiasis

Achievement of critical view of safety (CVS) is recommended to reduce risk of hilar injury in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence cholangiography, a novel technique of real time biliary visualization, is postulated to assist dissection during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). However, its use in providing a faster and safer LC has yet to be established. The main objective of this study is to evaluate whether the use of ICG enhanced fluorescence cholangiography will help in earlier identification critical view of safety during LC.

Robotic Cholecystectomy Using the Chinese Micro Hand S Robot: A Controlled, Randomized, Prospective...

Cholecystitis; Gallstone

A single-blinded, prospective randomized parallel controlled clinical trial was designed and conducted from December 2019 to November 2020. 82 patients with a gallstone, gallbladder polyp and other benign gallbladder diseases were enrolled in this study. Finally, 82 patients were randomly divided into the Micro Hand S surgical robot group and the da Vinci surgical robot group. Standard robot-assisted transabdominal cholecystectomy was conducted using the Micro Hand S robot or the da Vinci robot. The success rate of operation, assembly time, operation time, intraoperative hemorrhage, time to first flatus, postoperative pain, comprehensive complication index, resident time and patient satisfaciton were recorded. The aim of the study is to determine whether the newly developed Chinese Micro Hand S surgical robot results in non-inferiority outcomes in cholecystectomy compared with the prevalent da Vinci robot.

Effect of Preoperative Music on Sterile Inflammation Induced by Laparoscopic Surgery

Music TherapyCholecystitis/Cholelithiasis2 more

Surgery induced sterile inflammation leaves behind a biomolecular footprint measurable by various pro-inflammatory markers e.g. IL-6, CD(Cluster of differentiation)19B, HsCRP(High-sensitivity CRP) etc. Music is a non-pharmacological means in attenuating this inflammatory pathway thereby improving Health related quality of life measurable by improved postoperative convalescence. Correct timing of music application is a lacuna in the knowledge. This research aims at evaluating the effect of preoperative music on sterile inflammation induced by index Laparoscopic Surgery (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy) and its proposed beneficial effects on patient reported outcomes. A total of 50 patients divided into 2 groups (test and control) will be evaluated in this triple blind randomized controlled study aiming at evaluating the biomolecular signatures of sterile inflammatory response and its correlation with improved postoperative convalescence. All the patients will be followed up for a period of 1 month postoperatively to assess for overall improvement in health related quality of life. Collected data will be analysed using updated SPSS software and a p value of less than 0.05 will be taken as statistically significant in support of the measured indices.

The Effect of High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV)During Laparoscopic Operations

Cholecystolithiasis

Investigators conducted a randomised perspective study to determine whether the use of HFJV instead of conventional mechanical ventilation will reduce the adverse cardiovascular effects of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery.

Obeticholic Acid in Bariatric and Gallstone Disease

ObesityGallstones

By binding to the nuclear receptor FXR, bile acids not only regulate their own turn-over but presumably also pivotal steps in cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose metabolism as shown in laboratory animals. Obeticholic acid (OCA) is a semisynthetic bile acid with very high affinity to FXR. In a pharmacodynamic study the effects of OCA on bile acid, lipid and glucose turn-over are studied in 20 morbidly obese and 20 gallstones patents, respectively, that are administered OCA at 25 mg/day in three weeks before bariatric (BS) or gallstone (GS) surgery where in addition to blood samples also biopsies are taken from the liver and in the case of BS, omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue and in case of GS, gallbladder bile.

Is an Antibiotic Prescription Required After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Cholecystitis; AcuteWith Cholelithiasis

The need for antibiotics to reduce surgical site infection after cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis is still controversial. The researchers aimed to investigate the effect of antibiotics prescribed on surgical site infection when discharged to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis.
