Promising Initial Experience With Intra-operative Fluorescent Cholangiography
Gall Stone DiseaseIntraoperative fluorescent cholangiography (IFC) with concomitant fluorescent angiography is a recently developed method for non-invasive visualisation of the relevant anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The objective of this study was to assess the time required by routine-use of IFC and to evaluate success-rate of the procedures. Methods Thirty-five patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and operated by the same surgeon were consecutively enrolled. A standardized protocol with IFC including concomitant angiography was performed during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Intra-operative time-registration and exposure of predefined anatomical structures were recorded.
Does Cholecystectomy Increase the Esophageal Alkaline Reflux? Evaluation by Impedance-pH Technique...
CholecystolithiasisCholecystectomy1 morePublications with different conclusions are available with regard to the correlations between the cholecystolithiasis, cholecystectomy and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this study, the controversial relationship between cholecystolithiasis, cholecystectomy and GERD is discussed through the impedance pH method which started to be used in recent years, a method indicating the gas and liquid (acid and non-acid) gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and esophageal clearance time.
Study of the Use of Humidified Warmed Gas and the Effect on Post-Operative Pain in Laparoscopic...
GallstoneDouble blind RCT comparing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy using warmed, humidified gas (new) against laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cool, dry gas (usual). Sample size of 200 patients. Outcome measures are postoperative opiate analgesia use, and post operative numerical pain scores.
Comparison of Postoperative Pain After Gallbladder Retrieval From Umbilical and Epigastric Ports....
CholelithiasisTo know the association of postoperative pain after gallbladder removal from umbilical port site versus epigastric portsite, after four ports laparoscopic cholecystectomy,and the epigastric port site was found to be friendly for the patients in terms of less pain after gallbladder removal from this site after surgery.
Timing of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy After Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiography for Acute Biliary...
Cholelithiasis Associated With Common Bile Duct StonesTiming of laparoscopic cholecystectomy following after endoscopic retrograde cholangiography for acute biliary pancreatitis is a controversial issue. There are still many confounding findings offering either early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 72 hours following endoscopic sphincterotomy or delayed surgery after 6 weeks. Peritoneal plasmin system is known to be an important factor in peritoneal healing and adhesion formation. Measurement of tissue concentrations of tissue-type plasminogen activator and its specific activity, urokinase-type plasminogen activator, and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 are thought to be helpful to show peritoneal adhesions after endoscopic sphincterotomy.
Cholecyst- Versus Cystic Duct Cholangiography During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic CholecystectomyGall Stone Disease2 moreStandard cystic duct cholangiography (CDC) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be difficult, time consuming and bile duct injury may be caused by attempts to cannulate the cystic duct. Operative cholangiography performed by direct puncture of the gall bladder fundus or Cholecystocholangiography (CCC) is a valid and easier alternative.
Video-assisted Umbilical Fascial Closure in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Cholelithiasis (Without Cholecystitis)Pain2 moreA prospective randomized study was performed including consecutive patients who underwent an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for symptomatic cholelithiasis during the 18 months period. This prospective randomized trial aims to compare two umbilical closure techniques for trocar site hernia (TSH) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Radiological Investigation of Bile Duct Obstruction
Gallstone DiseasePatients with gallstone disease should be checked whether a common bile duct (CBD) stone could be present. In case of a certain suspicion for CBD stones further investigations should be performed. This can either be done by magnetic resonance cholangio-pancreaticography (MRCP) or by intraoperative cholangiography. The study investigates which pathway would be favorable in regard of an early hospital demission.

CholangiojejunostomyCholelithiasisThis study evaluates the clinical application of cholangiojejunostomy in the surgical treatment of cholelithiasis with Moderate dilatation of common bile duct. Half of participants will receive hepatectomy, cholangiojejunostomy and T-tube Drainage, while the other half will receive hepatectomy and T-tube Drainage.
