About this study

Official title: Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Versus Traditional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Prospective Trial

This study will compare Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) cholecystectomy to traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), focusing on patient-reported outcomes and cost.

Read the detailed description

Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) is accepted as a form of surgical treatment. Traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (TLC) is well tolerated, with a low complication risk and high patient satisfaction; thus a SILS procedure needs to be at least equivalent to be a justifiable replacement, and should not result in higher costs.

Being tested
Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery cholecystectomy, Traditional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (TLC)
Keywords
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Quality of life, Biliary Cholic, Chronic Cholecystitis, Symptomatic Cholelithiasis
Medical subject headings
Biliary Dyskinesia, Gallstones, Cholecystitis, Cholelithiasis

    Measured: 24 hours and 48 hours

  2. Amount of pain medicine required during 48 hours after surgery

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Major and minor gastrointestinal surgical complications, including conversion

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Quality of Life

    Measured: 2 weeks and 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery cholecystectomy and Traditional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (TLC) in people with Biliary Dyskinesia and Gallstones, run by Saint Luke's Health System at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Investigator decisions based on slow enrollment.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Cost associated with performance of the procedure and post-operative care until discharge (time frame: 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01195285, which also lists 3 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Apr 2012.
