About this study

The aim of this work is to evaluate which of the two types of operation (traditional/open and laparoscopic) has more impact on patients who were operated electively due to their chronic calculous cholecystitis.

Read the detailed description

The prospective, single center, randomized study includes 120 patients who are operated electively - 60 patients operated laparoscopically and 60 patients operated traditionally. Biohumoral and endocrine parameters of response to trauma are determined from 24 hour urine and blood: adrenalin, noradrenalin, metabolites of corticosteroid hormone - 17- hydroxyl and 17- keto steroid (HPLC method), C reactive protein and albumin, glycemia, creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, sedimentation of erythrocytes and serum concentration of potassium.

Being tested

Keywords

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine biohumoral and endocrine parameters of response to trauma

    Urine and blood biochemical analyses: adrenalin, noradrenalin, metabolites of corticosteroid hormone - 17- hydroxyl and 17- keto steroid (HPLC method), C reactive protein and albumin, glycemia, creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, sedimentation of erythrocytes and serum concentration of potassium

    Measured: first 24h after the surgical intervention

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01077115, which also lists 15 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
