About this study

Official title: Index Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Following Clearance of Common Bile Duct Stones Via Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiography

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible when performed during the same admission for patients with concomitant gallbladder and common bile duct stones after clearance of CBD stones via ERCP in comparison to Late laparoscopic cholecystectomy 6 weeks after ERCP. The main questions it aims to answer are: laparoscopic cholecystectomy

  • Does index laparoscopic cholecystectomy associate with less recurrence of biliary complications?
  • Is index laparoscopic cholecystectomy feasible and safe for the patients in terms of intraoperative difficulties, conversion to open, hospital stay, and postoperative complications than late laparoscopic cholecystectomy? the investigator will compare index laparoscopic cholecystectomy with late laparoscopic cholecystectomy 6 weeks after ERCP to see if index laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible and associated with better outcomes.

Participants will:

Come to the outpatient clinic every week after intervention for follow-up for 3 months after surgery.

Read the detailed description

The study population of this randomized controlled trial study is those who underwent CBD stone clearance by ERCP. The included fifty patients were stratified randomly into two groups: early and delayed.

Randomization was done using computer-generated random number sequences in concealed envelopes with a block randomization design. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed on the next day after successful clearance of stones from CBD while, the patient is still admitted, for the early group and postponed 4 to 6 weeks for the delayed group after the patient is discharged home.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed by the same surgical team for both groups.

What participants receive

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

  • laparoscopic cholecystectomyProcedure or surgery

    Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the same admission after atone clearance from the bile ducts via ERCP.

  • Late laparoscopic cholecystectomyProcedure or surgery

    Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed 6 weeks after clearance of stones from the common bile duct.

What is being measured

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

  1. recurrence of biliary events

    the occurence of acute cholecystitism biliary colics, common bile duct stonem pancreatitisand cholangitis after ERCP while waiting for laparoscopic cholecystectomy

    Measured: up to 3 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. operative time

    time from the first incision of skin to skin closure and completion of surgery

    Measured: during surgery

  2. pancreatitis

    acute inflammation of the pancreas : abdominal pain, elevated lipase and amylase ( more than 3 folds) and/or findings specific for the pancreatitits on imaging.

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

  3. conversion to open surgery

    termination of the laparoscopic procedure and perfome the surgery by the conventional open surgery

    Measured: During surgery

  4. Bleeding

    Intraoperative or postoperative bleeding that requires blood transfusion

    Measured: during surger and up to 3 weeks

  5. the presence of intraoperative adhesions

    Adhesions around the gallbladder and at the Calot\'s triangle

    Measured: During surgery

  6. Bile leak

    the leak of bile through the drain or intraabdominally

    Measured: up to 1 week after surgery

  7. Wound infection

    Any evidence of infection in the wounds : redness, pain or discharge of infected fluids from the wounds

    Measured: up to 3 months after surgery

  8. hospital stays

    the sum the length of stay after ERCP and laparoscopic cholecystectomy including readmission for complication management

    Measured: from admission to the end of post operative follow up at 3 months after surgery

  9. post oprative pain

    the degree pain described by the patients after surgery on the visual rating scale

    Measured: after surgery and up to 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and Late laparoscopic cholecystectomy in people with Choledocholithiasis with Cholecystitis, run by Damanhour Medical National Institute 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 1 inclusion and 4 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?

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?

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?

recurrence of biliary events (time frame: up to 3 months after surgery). 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 Sep 2024.
