NCT ID NCT06612229

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new surgical technique for people with liver echinococcosis (a parasitic infection) who develop bile leaks after surgery. The method uses a special medical glue to seal the leak, aiming to reduce complications and speed up recovery. Researchers will track how often leaks close and how much treatment costs, involving 200 participants in Uzbekistan.

Active substance
medical cyanoacrylate glue
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safer, more effective way to repair bile leaks during liver surgery for echinococcosis, reducing complications and recovery time.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The glue technique is new and may carry risks like infection or failure to stop the leak.
