CHOLECYSTECTOMY, LAPAROSCOPIC

This study tested a new method for gallbladder removal that uses a special tool (harmonic scalpel) instead of traditional clips to seal blood vessels. The trial included 158 adults with gallstones who needed elective surgery. Researchers measured how long the surgery took, how mu…

This study looked at whether a specific nerve block (called a TAP block) can reduce pain after keyhole gallbladder removal. Sixty adults having planned surgery were split into two groups: one got the nerve block plus standard painkillers, the other got standard painkillers alone.…

This study tested different ways to manage pain after keyhole gallbladder removal in 160 adults. Some patients received a nerve block (TAP block), local anesthetic, both, or no extra pain relief. The TAP block group reported less pain and fewer wound problems in the first 24 hour…

This study looked at whether reducing noise during the start of anesthesia (when patients are going to sleep) can improve recovery after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 105 adults having planned surgery were included. Researchers measured pain, nausea, vomiting, vital signs, an…

This study looked at 120 adults having gallbladder surgery to see if a nerve block (ESP block) given before or after surgery changes heart electrical activity. The goal was to understand if the timing of the block affects heart risk. Results could help make anesthesia safer for p…

This study looked at how well pain is controlled after common day surgeries like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, and knee or shoulder arthroscopy. Researchers followed 280 adults to see if better pain management leads to a smoother recovery. The goal was to understand the lin…
