This early study tests whether a voice-controlled AI-assisted robotic system can safely help surgeons perform gallbladder removal. Ten adults with symptomatic gallstones or gallbladder polyps will undergo the procedure. The main goal is to see if the surgery can be completed with…

This study looks at 100 people with gallstones that have moved into the bile duct. One group gets the usual two-step treatment: first a scope to remove the bile duct stone, then surgery to remove the gallbladder. The other group gets a single surgery where the gallbladder is remo…

This study looks at two ways to give a pain-relieving injection (TAP block) to people having their gallbladder removed by keyhole surgery. One group gets the injection only on the right side, the other gets it on both sides. Researchers will track how long it takes before patient…

This study looks at whether teaching patients about gallstones and gallbladder removal surgery before the operation can improve their quality of life afterward. About 200 adults having gallbladder surgery will either get standard hospital care or extra educational sessions. Resea…

This study tests whether adding the anti-nausea drug ondansetron to a standard saline wash during gallbladder surgery can better control pain and nausea afterward. Forty adults having their gallbladder removed will be randomly assigned to receive either a plain saline wash or one…

This trial compares two ways of delivering mechanical ventilation—volume-controlled and pressure-controlled—in adults undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which mode better maintains lung flexibility and removes carbon dioxide d…

This study is a registry that collects information from patients who have a procedure called percutaneous cholangiopancreatoscopy (PCPS). During PCPS, doctors use a tiny camera to see inside the bile ducts and remove stones or take tissue samples. The goal is to learn how well th…

This observational study plans to enroll 120,000 people with various chronic diseases like pancreatitis, diabetes, and arthritis. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data to study how genetics and lifestyle affect disease progression. The goal is to find common dise…
