First seen Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study reviews medical records of 2,000 adults who had liver surgery with their gallbladder left in place. Researchers want to see if temporarily clamping the liver's blood supply (called the Pringle maneuver) makes patients more likely to develop gallstones, inflammation, or other gallbladder diseases later on. The goal is to help surgeons decide whether to remove the gallbladder during liver surgery.
