LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

This study looks at 64 adults with moderate to severe gallbladder inflammation who need a drainage tube before surgery. Half will have their gallbladder removed during the same hospital stay, and the other half will wait over 6 weeks. The goal is to see which timing leads to fewe…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (paravertebral and external oblique intercostal) to standard pain medication for people having gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and the need for opioids like tramadol. About 147 adults will t…

This study looks at whether giving numbing injections before or after gallbladder surgery helps reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. About 96 adults having planned gallbladder removal will be randomly assigned to receive the injections either before the surgeon starts…

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence tool can help surgeons perform gallbladder removal more safely. About 70 patients having laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be randomly assigned to surgery with or without AI guidance. The goal is to see if AI helps surgeons achi…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (M-TAPA and QL block) for pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. About 52 adults will receive one of the two blocks before surgery. The goal is to see which block provides longer pain relief and reduces the need for extr…

This study compares two medications, labetalol and lignocaine, given before a breathing tube is placed during gallbladder surgery. The goal is to see which drug better prevents sudden rises in heart rate and blood pressure, which can be risky. About 116 adults having planned gall…

This study compares two common anesthetics (sevoflurane and desflurane) given at low flow rates to see which one causes less sore throat after gallbladder removal surgery. About 70 adults aged 18-65 will take part. The goal is to help doctors choose the better option to improve p…

This study tests whether taking ginger two hours before gallbladder surgery can lower the chance of feeling sick or throwing up afterward. About 102 adults having their gallbladder removed will take either ginger or a placebo. The goal is to see if this simple, natural approach w…

This study looks at whether giving less IV fluid after gallbladder removal is as good as giving more for keeping the body stable. About 380 adults having planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either liberal or restrictive IV fluids for 6 ho…

This study looks at how two common anesthetics, isoflurane and sevoflurane, affect oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) in 80 adults having gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will measure stress markers in the blood to see which anesthetic may be gentler on the body. Th…

This study looks at ways to reduce unnecessary medical tests before low-risk surgeries like breast lumpectomy, gallbladder removal, and hernia repair. Researchers will use tools like doctor education, decision aids, and performance feedback at 16 Michigan hospitals. The goal is t…

This study looks at two different numbing methods (nerve blocks) used during gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will map where on the skin each block works and how long the numbness lasts. The goal is to better understand these blocks so doctors can choose the best one for …
