LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

This study tested if a specific nerve block, given during surgery, could help control pain better after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Researchers compared 64 patients who received the nerve block to those who did not. They measured pain levels, need for additional pain medica…

This study tested whether a sedative drug called dexmedetomidine helps the stomach empty faster after keyhole gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers enrolled 80 patients and used ultrasound scans to measure stomach volume before and after surgery. The goal was to see if this dr…

This study tested a combination of two pain-relief drugs given directly into the abdomen during keyhole gallbladder surgery. It aimed to see if this mix provided better and longer-lasting pain relief after the operation compared to using just one of the drugs. The goal was to hel…

This study tested a new type of nerve block to see if it could better manage pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. Doctors used ultrasound to guide an injection of numbing medicine near the ribs to block pain signals. The goal was to see if this method reduced pati…

This study tested whether using anesthesia without opioids during gallbladder removal surgery could lead to better recovery. Researchers compared 101 patients who received either standard opioid-based anesthesia or an opioid-free combination of other medications. The opioid-free …

This study tested whether a simple, non-drug treatment—a hot foot bath—could help people feel better after having their gallbladder removed. Researchers wanted to see if it could reduce pain and anxiety, and improve sleep and comfort levels after this common surgery. They compare…

This study aimed to find the best way to position patients when giving a specific type of pain-blocking injection after gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers compared giving the injection while patients were lying on their side, lying on their stomach, or sitting up. They meas…

This study tested whether watching a video before gallbladder surgery helps patients recover better than reading a brochure. 92 patients were randomly assigned to receive either video or brochure instructions about pain management, wound care, and getting back to normal activitie…

This study aimed to find out if a patient's readiness to go home after keyhole gallbladder surgery can be accurately assessed 4 hours after the procedure, instead of the usual 24 hours. Researchers compared a standard scoring system at both time points in 60 adult patients. The g…

This study aimed to see if a simple measurement of heart rate patterns before surgery could predict which patients would experience nausea and vomiting afterwards. Researchers observed 110 women having elective gallbladder surgery, measuring their heart rate variability before an…

This study aimed to understand how the increased pressure inside the abdomen during keyhole gallbladder surgery might affect the heart's electrical activity. Researchers monitored 48 patients using a standard heart monitor (ECG) before, during, and after their surgery. The goal w…

This study compared two different types of clips used to seal a duct during keyhole gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers wanted to see if using a single absorbable clip was as safe and reliable as a single non-absorbable clip. They followed 120 patients to check for complicat…
