Comparative Analysis of Serum Lipid Profiles in Patients With and Without Gallstones
GallstoneDyslipidemiasGallbladder disease is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Various studies have shown an association between gallstones and an alteration in the serum lipids. The objective of this study will be to compare serum lipid profile of gallstone patients with the controls.
RISK FACTORS OF GALL BLADDER STONE
Gall StoneGallbladder disease is a significant health burden in the developed world and its prevalence has risen by more than 20% in the past three decades In the United States, 20-25 million individuals are affected by gallbladder disease, resulting in an average annual treatment cost of $6.2 billion Obesity, diet, rapid weight loss, metabolic syndrome, and conditions such as cirrhosis, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and gallbladder stasis increase the risk of gallstone formation Surgical removal of the gallbladder, cholecystectomy, is the most recommended treatment for gallbladder disease; however, the procedure increases the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis and metabolic effects
Implementation of 23 Hour Surgery Model in a Tertiary Hospital
Ambulatory SurgeryLaparoscopy7 moreExtended day surgery or 23 h surgery (23-hour surgery) is a surgical model where patients arrive to the hospital from home at the day of surgery, are operated and recover in a 23 h surgery unit. 23H surgery units are usually situated near postoperative recovery unit. THe 23 H surgical model was implemented in Kuopio University Hospital 2015 and between May 2017-May 2018 patients were recruited in the present prospective follow up cohort study. Patients were informed and they gave their informed consent. The patients were contacted two weeks after the study and details of their recovery were asked.
The Effect of Gallstone Characteristics for the Severity of Gallstone Pancreatitis
Acute Gallstone PancreatitisThe purpose of this study was to determine the effect of gallstone characteristics for the severity of acute gallstone pancreatitis (GSP)
Silent Gallbladder Stone in Kidney Transplantation Recipients: Should it be Treated?
Gallbladder StonesKidney TransplantationTreatment and follow-up strategies for silent gallbladder (GB) stones in patients before KT (Kidney transplantation) remain unknown. Therefore, we aimed to assess the risk of gallstone-related biliary complications and post-cholecystectomy complications in KT recipients, to elucidate the role of prophylactic cholecystectomy in this population.
Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Cholecystectomy, Projected Long Term Outcomes and Complications Evaluation...
CholelithiasisParticipation in this research study does not involve any procedures. Health preference will be ascertained through standard techniques including time-tradeoff, standard gamble, and rating scale to assess risks regarding potential complications specific to NOTES (Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery)gallbladder removal.
Study of the Inflammatory Reaction in Standard vs Single Port Cholecystectomy for Uncomplicated...
CholelithiasisInflammatory ResponseThis is a study of the inflammatory reaction in standard 4 port laparoscopic cholecystectomy vs Single Port Laparoscopic (SIL) cholecystectomy. It is assumed that the reduced trauma in SIL Cholecystectomy causes reduced inflammatory reaction compared to the 4 port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Oxidative Stress in Standard Laparoscopic vs Single Port Cholecystectomy
Uncomplicated CholelithiasisCholecystectomy3 moreStudy of Oxidative Stress Markers in order to assess whether there are differences between standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy vs single port cholecystectomy for uncomplicated cholelithiasis
Laparoscopic Transvaginal Hybrid Cholecystectomy: a Prospective Data Collection.
CholecystolithiasisCholecystitisTransvaginal hybrid procedures especially the transvaginal hybrid cholecystectomy are of interest as an available NOTES-Procedure for the clinical routine. Few authors have demonstrated the feasibility and safety in a selected patient collective. The aim of this prospective data collection is to evaluate the feasibility in the clinical routine in a non select patient collective. Therefore all patients giving the informed consent to the transvaginal hybrid cholecystectomy will be included and assessed concerning feasibility to perform the transvaginal approach and complete the operation transvaginally.
Gallbladder Cholesterolosis, Body Mass Index and Serum Cholesterol and Triglycerides
GallstonesGallbladder CholesterolosisCholesterolosis is a common finding in biopsy specimens of gallbladders surgically removed for cholelithiasis. To the best of the investigators knowledge no study has analyzed the relationships of Body Mass Index, serum Cholesterol and Triglycerides and gallbladder cholesterolosis. The purpose of this study is to analyze and find relations between gallbladder cholesterolosis, Body Mass Index, serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
