Summary
This study looks at whether giving less IV fluid after gallbladder removal is as safe and effective as giving more. About 380 adults having planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either liberal or restricted fluids for 6 hours after the operation. Researchers will track vital signs and recovery to find the best approach for maintaining body stability.
