Trial summary

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has an increased incidence of extrahepatic biliary injury or bleeding. The common hepatic duct is on the medial border of the Calot triangle and at risk of injury. So, The investigators describe a new safety triangle with a more critical view of safety that is far from dangerous. Read more about this study

About this study

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has an increased incidence of extrahepatic biliary injury or bleeding. The common hepatic duct is on the medial border of the Calot triangle and at risk of injury. So, The investigators describe a new safety triangle with a more critical view of safety that is far from dangerous.

Retrospectively, from December 2019 until March 2023, the investigators will review the medical records for patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The patients underwent cholecystectomy using a new technique in approaches to critical safety with recorded video and available follow up data were included.

The patients who had intraoperatively extensive gallbladder adhesion that interfere with the dissection in this area, improper visualization of the cystic duct, patients whose did not operate by this new technique and patients whose have not video record of laparoscopic cholecystectomy will excluded from the study.

Read the detailed description

Operative procedure:

This technique was different from the ordinary laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the following steps: with the aid of electrocautery Hook, the dissection started first with the peritoneum, which covered both sides of the Hartman pouch, the proximal third of the gallbladder (the area of the gallbladder at its neck), and the proximal part of the cystic duct (the end of the cystic duct which was attached to the gallbladder neck).

With using a grasper for manipulating the Hartman pouch for better dissection of the gallbladder bed. Then gently dissecting the gallbladder from its bed to skeletonize it away from the cystic plate and porta hepatis. The small branches of cystic artery that were dipping in the GB wall were cauterized one by one. This step involved scarification of the cystic artery, and its branches, which necessitated the use of bipolar diathermy.

Now, after dissection of the proximal part of the gallbladder from its bed and scarification of the cystic artery and its branches, the traction applied to the Hartman pouch created an angle between the skeletonized cystic duct and the skeletonized posterior surface of the GB.

Also, this traction creates a dynamic triangle visualized from both the left and right sides according to the traction applied to the Hartman pouch to the right or left and the direction of the angled scope of the camera lens.

From the left-side view, when right traction is applied to the Hartman pouch, it is bound laterally by the skeletonized proximal part of the cystic duct. Superiorly, it is bound by the posterior surface of the proximal part of the skeletonized gallbladder. It was bounded medially by an imaginary line between a point at the junction of the cystic duct with the CBD and a point at the anterior end of the dissected cystic plate (the Madany triangle).

From the right-side view, when left traction was applied on the Hartman pouch, the triangle was bounded by the proximal part of the dissected cystic duct medially. It was bound superiorly by the posterior surface of the proximal third of the skeletonized gallbladder. Laterally, it was bounded by an imaginary line between a point at the junction of the cystic duct with the CBD and another point located at the anterior end of the dissected cystic plate.

A Vicryl (2-0) ligature or a titanium clip was applied to the cystic duct immediately distal to the Hartman pouch after gentle milking of the cystic duct to exclude the presence of stones inside. The GB was removed from the peritoneal cavity with the use of a bag.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Madany triangleProcedure or surgery

    After dissection of the proximal part of the gallbladder from its bed and scarification of the cystic artery and its branches, the traction applied to the Hartman pouch created an angle between the skeletonized cystic duct and the skeletonized posterior surface of the GB (Fig. 3).

    Also, this traction creates a dynamic triangle visualized from both the left and right sides according to the traction applied to the Hartman pouch to the right or left and the direction of the angled scope of the camera lens. From the left-side view, when right traction is applied to the Hartman pouch, it is bound laterally by the skeletonized proximal part of the cystic duct. Superiorly, it is bound by the posterior surface of the proximal part of the skeletonized gallbladder. It was bounded medially by an imaginary line between a point at the junction of the cystic duct with the CBD and a point at the anterior end of the dissected cystic plate (the Madany triangle)

What is being measured

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

  1. Is the extrahepatic bile duct still intact or injurie. How many patients with the Common bile ducts will injurie?

    Is laparoscopic cholecystectomy using Madani triangle technique associated with bile duct injuries or not associated with bile duct injuries or not?

    Measured: December 2019 to March 2023

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Cholecystitis; Gallstone, run by Aswan University Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2023. 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 Egypt. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Is the extrahepatic bile duct still intact or injurie. How many patients with the Common bile ducts will injurie? (time frame: December 2019 to March 2023). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Jul 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
