About this study

Official title: Prospective Cohort Study on Emergent Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Guided by Indocyanine Green (ICG) Fluorescence Versus Conventional Laparoscopic Operation

A prospective cohort study comparing the surgical outcome of patients who underwent emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomy guided by indocyanine green cholangiography (ELC-ICGC) versus conventional laparoscopic operation. The patients were recruited in the Peking Union Medical Colleg Hospital emergency department from 1st August 2020 to 1st Feburary 2024. A database was prospectively established to collect related data. The surgical outcomes of ELC-ICGC and conventional ElC will be compared.

Read the detailed description

Acute calculous cholecystitis, typically occurs in patients with gallstones, accounts for 90 to 95% of acute cholecystitis. Emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) is the major treatment option. Traditionally, the time frame for ELC is generally considered to be within 72 hours from the onset of symptoms. However, with the development of surgical techniques, nowadays, ELC is also considered for patients with symptoms onset within 10 days and hospital stays within 7 days. The determination of the time frame for ELC in acute cholecystitis is primarily based on the risk of complications occurring. Comparing to delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC), ELC has advantages in post-operative complications in patients with symptoms onset within 72 hours. Post-operative complications for both DLC and ELC include bile leaks, intestinal obstruction, ascites, intraperitoneal hemorrhage, would bleeding and hematoma, wound infection and calculus remaining. Most of them associate with intraoperative procedures. Emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomy guided by indocyanine green (ICG) cholangiography (ELC-ICGC), comparing to conventional LC, potentially can help the surgeons to identify bile tracts and therefore may reduce the complications.

From August 1st 2020, the AC patients undergoing LC in PUMCH were prospecteively registered and a database was established to collect related data.

Till 1st Feburary 2024, about 750 cases of ELC were performed. The surgeons chose to perform either conventional ELC or ELC-ICGC based on their discretion. The patients were followed up within one month after discharge in out patient clinic or telephone interview. We plan to analyze the data from the prospectively established- database.

The surgical outcomes are evaluated by both intraoperative events and postoperative events. Intraoperative events contain the following items: (1) incidence of intraoperative accidental bile tract injury, (2) intraoperative bleeding (volume), (3) operation time. Postoperative events contain the following items: (1) incidence of complications staging 2 and above according to Clavien Dindo Grade during hospital stay, (2) duration of postoperative hospital stay. The economic effectiveness is evaluated by cost of hospital stay.

The surgical outcomes of these two procedures will be compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of intraoperative accidental bile tract injury

    The primary outcome is incidence of intraoperative accidental injury involving the bile tract in emergent laparscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) guided by ICG fluorescence. The injury manifests as biliary obstruction, biliary leak, or biliary stricture. Medical records will be reviewed to identify an intraoperative bile tract injury event. Incidence of intraoperative accidental bile tract injury will be collected and comparison between study group (ELC guided by ICG fluorescence) and control group (conventional ELC) will be made

    Measured: within 1 month

  2. incidence of complications

    incidence of complications staging 2 and above according to Clavien Dindo Grade during hospital stay

    Measured: within 1 month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. intraoperative bleeding (volume)

    Volume of intraoperative bleeding during the operation

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. duration of postoperative hospital stay

    Days of postoperative hospital stay

    Measured: within 1 month

  3. total medical expense

    Cost during hospital stay

    Measured: within 1 month

  4. operation time

    from cutting the incison to ending the suturing of the incision

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Cholecystitis, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 14 Aug 2024. 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 China. 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?

incidence of intraoperative accidental bile tract injury (time frame: within 1 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Aug 2024.
