Heart rhythm changes during keyhole gallbladder surgery under the microscope
NCT ID NCT06651450
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how increased belly pressure during laparoscopic (keyhole) gallbladder surgery affects the heart's electrical activity. Researchers measured ECG changes in 48 patients aged 18-65 who had no heart or serious health conditions. The goal was to understand if the surgery itself can cause heart rhythm changes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better monitor heart risks during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study with only 48 patients. It does not test a treatment, so it cannot directly lead to a cure or therapy.

Who is studied
People between the ages of 18-65 who are scheduled to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy are included in the study. When calculating the sample size; when the effect size obtained from the previous study was accepted as 0.4, the type 1 error value as 0.05, and the power as 0.80, it was determined that the sample size for the study was sufficient with 44 patients. Considering the losses that may occur during follow-up, it was planned to conduct the study with 48 patients with a 10% increase.
