StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07158372Recruiting
Using AI to identify key anatomy in gallbladder surgery videos
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze surgery videos and help surgeons identify important structures during gallbladder removal. It may lead to safer procedures.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07152912Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthetic gases, isoflurane and sevoflurane, to see which one causes less oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) during gallbladder removal surgery. It may help surgeons choose the safer option for patients.
CairoAges 20–60 - NCT07096856Recruiting
