NCT ID NCT06113419
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial looks at whether removing the gallbladder early (during the same hospital stay) or waiting 4 weeks after recovery is better for people with severe pancreatitis caused by gallstones. About 134 adults will be randomly assigned to one of the two timing options. The main goal is to see which approach leads to fewer major complications and less return of gallbladder-related problems.
