First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether preserving the cystic artery during laparoscopic gallbladder removal can reduce complications like bleeding. Two hundred patients with symptomatic gallstones will be split into two groups: one where the artery is preserved and one where it is clipped or burned. The main goal is to see if preserving the artery leads to fewer post-surgery problems.
