LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

This trial tests whether a device that tracks heart rate patterns can help doctors give just the right amount of anesthesia during gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to use less anesthetic and pain medicine, helping patients wake up faster and leave the recovery room sooner…

This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—recto-intercostal fascial plane block (RIFPB) and transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB)—for pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 90 adults undergoing elective surgery will receive one of the two blocks. The…

This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Adults having this surgery will receive one of two blocks—either the modified thoracoabdominal nerve block or the erector spinae plane block—before waking from anesthesi…

This study tests whether a nurse-led ICOUGH bundle — a set of breathing exercises and early movement steps — can reduce pain and nausea in adults recovering from laparoscopic gallbladder removal. About 88 patients will be randomly assigned to receive the ICOUGH bundle or standard…

This trial tests whether avoiding opioids during anesthesia leads to better recovery after gallbladder surgery. Half of the participants receive standard opioid-based anesthesia, while the other half receive an opioid-free approach using dexmedetomidine. The study measures recove…

This study tests whether a specific nerve block, called an external oblique intercostal block, can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Fifty-six adults scheduled for this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the n…

This trial tests whether giving esketamine and magnesium sulfate during gallbladder removal surgery can prevent or lessen the severe fatigue many patients feel afterward. The drugs target both brain and muscle pathways involved in post-surgery exhaustion. Researchers will compare…

This study tested whether a smartphone app designed for patients having gallbladder removal surgery could reduce anxiety, complications, and improve comfort and satisfaction. 64 adults scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy used the app during their hospital stay and recovery…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (EXORA and QLB) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Eighty adults received one of the two blocks using the numbing medicine bupivacaine. Researchers measured how long until patients needed …

This study tested whether adding magnesium sulfate or dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) improves pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 63 adults having elective surgery received one of three mixtures in a nerve block. The goal was to see …

This study looked at 120 adults having gallbladder surgery to see if the position they are in when getting a nerve block (called an ESP block) affects pain after surgery. Patients were placed on their side, stomach, or sitting up during the block. The goal was to find which posit…

This study looked at whether adding dexmedetomidine to a common numbing medicine (bupivacaine) could improve pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Thirty adults having elective surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the combo or bupivacaine alone, sprayed…

This study tested whether avoiding opioids during gallbladder surgery could improve recovery. 101 patients received either opioid-free anesthesia (using lidocaine and dexmedetomidine) or standard opioid anesthesia. The opioid-free group had less pain after surgery, needed fewer p…

This study tested whether a 20-minute hot foot bath can reduce pain, anxiety, and improve sleep and comfort in 108 adults who had gallbladder removal surgery. Patients with moderate to severe pain received the foot bath about 4 hours after surgery. The researchers measured pain, …

This study tested whether showing patients a 10-15 minute video about post-surgery care (pain, diet, wound care, warning signs) before they leave the hospital helps them recover better after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 92 adults took part, with half getting the video plus u…

This completed study tested whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block called RIFP can reduce pain and the need for rescue painkillers after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 77 patients were enrolled. The block targets nerves in the upper abdomen to provide pain relief. The main g…

This study tested whether a specific nerve block, called the external oblique intercostal plane block, can reduce pain and improve satisfaction in patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Sixty-four adults aged 18-65 received either the nerve block with bupivacaine o…

This study compares two second-generation supraglottic airway devices—the I-Gel and the LMA Protector—in patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal under low-flow anesthesia. Researchers measure breathing mechanics, oxygen levels, and complication rates to see which dev…

This study looked at 130 patients with gallstones who had their gallbladder removed by keyhole surgery. Researchers compared the ultrasound results done before surgery with what the surgeon actually found during the operation. The goal was to see if ultrasound can predict when th…

This study looked at how increased belly pressure during laparoscopic (keyhole) gallbladder surgery affects the heart's electrical activity. Researchers measured ECG changes in 48 patients aged 18-65 who had no heart or serious health conditions. The goal was to understand if the…

This study tested whether dexmedetomidine, a sedative often used during surgery, changes how quickly the stomach empties in people having their gallbladder removed. Researchers used ultrasound to measure stomach volume in 80 patients before and after surgery. The goal was to see …

This study looked at whether heart rate variability (HRV) — a measure of how your heart rate changes — can predict nausea and vomiting after gallbladder surgery. Researchers monitored 110 women before and after surgery using a chest strap. The goal is to see if HRV can help docto…

This study looked at 60 patients who had their gallbladder removed by keyhole surgery. Researchers compared a standard discharge scoring system at 4 hours and 24 hours after surgery to see if patients could be safely sent home earlier. The goal was to find the best time to check …

This study looked at 120 people having their gallbladder removed by keyhole surgery. Doctors compared two types of clips used to close the bile duct: absorbable clips and Hem-o-lok clips. The goal was to see which clip is safer and cheaper. Results will help guide surgeons in cho…
