Active clinical trials for "Cholecystitis"

Prospective Study for the Effects of Biphenyl Dimethyl Dicarboxylate and Ursodeoxycolic Acid Therapy on Liver Function and Quality of Life After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Primary endpoint: peak level of postoperative AST (aspartate transaminase) and postoperative ALT (alanine tansaminase) Secondary endpoint: postoperative GIQLI (Gastrointestinal Quality of Life index) score

The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the effects of GB34 acupuncture, performed as adjuvant to standard medical treatment, on clinical response and laboratory parameters of patients with a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.

This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating the use of a fluorescent dye, indocyanine green (ICG), in the identification of important bile duct anatomy during emergent same-admission cholecystectomy. Participants will be randomized into either the control arm, which uses the standard of care white light during laparoscopy or the intervention arm, which will use ICG fluorescent cholangiography as an adjunct to white light to visualize the biliary anatomy. The investigators hypothesize that the use of fluorescent cholangiography will increase the rates of identification of important biliary anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The effectiveness, feasibility, and safety will be compared between the two groups using a post-operative survey form the surgeons will complete prior to exiting the operating room.

Zaghiyan et al hypothesized that Laparoscopic TAP was noninferior to US-TAP and performed a randomized clinical trial comparing Laparoscopic TAP, US-TAP, and no TAP in minimally invasive colorectal surgery. The authors reported that LTAP was superior to UTAP in achieving pain control and minimizing opioid use in the first 24 hours after colorectal surgery. This prospective randomized, controlled trial will be performed to assessed the efficacy of laparoscopic subcostal TAP block (LSTAP) compared to ultrasound-guided subcostal TAP (USTAP) block after laparoscopic cholecystectomy regarding postoperative pain scores in the first 24-hours after the intervention and analgesic requirements.

In this study, the investigators compared the surgical outcomes according to the type of antibiotics before surgery in patients who did not have evidence of systemic infection during acute cholecystitis. The primary purpose of the study was to determine the type of preoperative antibiotics in patients who were scheduled for cholecystectomy, because of the mild (grade I) or moderate (grade 2) acute inflammatory gallbladder disease without gallbladder perforation. The investigators compared the incidence of postoperative complications according to the types of preoperative antibiotics(the first-generation vs second-generation cephalosporin). The secondary purpose of the study was to confirm the clinical efficacy of first-generation cephalosporins following the use of empirical antibiotics. And the investigators compare with postoperative pain, postoperative hospital stay, re-hospitalization, and need for additional treatment. In addition, the investigators compare the postoperative complications, such as atelectasis and postoperative ileus.

Benign gallbladder disease, including acute cholecystitis, chronic cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, and biliary colic, is very common, with over 300,000 surgical cholecystectomies performed per year in the US. Unfortunately, complication rates in elderly patients or patients with many comorbidities are high. These patients are often managed with percutaneous tube drainage of the gallbladder (percutaneous cholecystostomy). The recurrence rate of calculous cholecystitis after cholecystostomy tube removal is as high as 35% at 1 year. These patients are thus faced with permanent cholecystostomy tube drainage, high-risk surgery, or cholecystostomy tube removal and risk of repeat cholecystitis. Gallbladder cryoablation is an alternative to surgical cholecystectomy which is performed percutaneously and does not require general anesthesia. Published evidence on the outcomes of gallbladder cryoablation is however limited at this point in time. The purpose of the proposed study is to follow the outcomes of high-risk patients who undergo gallbladder cryoablation.

This is a prospective single arm, single center study estimating percentage of successful critical anatomy recognition in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries using SPY fluorescence imaging and ICG, with each surgery also providing a white light 360 degree images. The primary objective is to determine the percentage of successful critical anatomy recognition using intra-operative SPY fluorescence imaging and ICG: and to describe complications associated with intra-operative decision making in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Vitamine C supplements to be helpful to reduce the postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy through the double-blinded randomized controlled trial.

529 patients performed elective LCC at Chonbuk National University Hospital between April 2014 and August 2015. Total 509 patients were enrolled by inclusion criteria. They were randomized studied by comparing with antibiotic group (n=249, AG, cefotetan 1g, 1 dose/prophylactic) and non-antibiotic group (n=260, NAG) by table of random numbers. The clinical variables were pre and post-operatively blood tests enclude WBC, ESR, CRP, body temperatures, symptoms and imaging of chest x-ray to evaluate the infections.
