Active clinical trials for "Cholecystitis"

This clinical trial is an exploratory clinical trial that evaluates the necessity and effectiveness of empirical antibiotic use in mild and moderate acute inflammatory gallbladder diseases that require surgery, and the incidence of postoperative infection-related complications is compared.

This registry aims to analyze long-term outcomes of therapeutic EUS (T-EUS) procedures, as well as to describe clinical and technical variables potentially predicting clinical success or adverse events, for a better selection of ideal candidates.

The purpose of this study is to compare different dosages and ways of administration of indocyanine green during fluorescent cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study is randomized.

The aim of study is compare outcome of patients undergoing early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 72 hours from the begging of symptoms to those of patients managed conservatively and operated late after 6-8weeks after the inflammatory reaction has subsided.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test intracranial blood flow and cerebral oxygenisation changes in patients who have pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure. The main questions aim to answer are: How does pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure changes blod flow in patients? Are there any differences between Near-Red spectroscopy and transcranial doppler ultrasonography assesment? Participants will be diagnosed with using NIRS probes and Doppler ultrasonography probes if any changes in surgical procedure. Researchers will compare NIRS and TCD detection outcomes to see if there is any differences.

We believe that subtotal cholecystectomy is a safe alternative to total cholecystectomy when the complicated gallbladder is encountered, resulting in decreased or equivalent risk of bile duct injury, major vascular injury, postoperative hemorrhage, infectious complications, and mortality. Additionally, we hope to further elucidate the expected outcomes of the varying subtypes of subtotal cholecystectomy in order to determine the safest approach, assuring the lowest need for secondary intervention, recurrent biliary disease, or need for a completion cholecystectomy.

This study evaluates the long-term safety and efficacy of the Hong Kong follow up protocol in patients who will undergo drainage of the gallbladder under endoultrasonography (EUS) guidance in patients with acute cholecistitis not suitable for surgery.

In order to compare percutaneous cholecystostomy and leaving a drain in situ with percutaneous gallbladder aspiration we plan to undertake a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common laparoscopic surgery performed in the world. The initial treatment of acute calculus cholecystitis includes GIT rest, intravenous fluid, correction of electrolyte imbalance from repeated vomiting, good analgesia, and intravenous antibiotics. Following this treatment, patients with uncomplicated disease are managed on outpatient basis and are called for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy after a period of 6-8 weeks. Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic gallstones. However, in the early days, acute cholecystitis was a contraindication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and patients with acute cholecystitis were managed conservatively and discharged for re-admission in order to have elective surgery performed for the definitive treatment. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy, within 72 hours of presentation,has been advocated because of shorter hospital stay, decreased financial costs and reduced readmission rates. Previously cited reasons against early laparoscopic cholecystectomy include the increased technical difficulties, increased risk of conversion to an open procedure (6-35 % in some studies) and increased risks of biliary complications such as bile leaks and common bile duct (CBD) injuries when operating on an inflamed gallbladder with edematous planes and distorted anatomy.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the utility and efficacy of an artificial intelligence (AI) model at identifying structures and phases of surgery compared to traditional white light assessment by trained surgeons. Surgeons will perform the procedure in their standard practice, while the AI model analyzes data from the laparoscopic camera. Surgeons will be asked to audibly state when they identify structures and enter different phases of the surgical procedure. The AI will not alter the surgeon's view or be visible to the surgeon, and the surgeon will perform the procedure in the exact same fashion as they typically do.
