Test of a clip system during open liver surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies a new clip system (ABSOLOK™) used during open liver operations. It aims to improve how surgeons control or manage parts of the liver during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older
- You must agree to join the study and sign the consent form
- You must be scheduled for open (not keyhole) liver surgery
- Your surgery cannot be an emergency operation
- Your surgery cannot be done using laparoscopy (keyhole surgery)
- You should not need a connection between bile ducts and the intestine during surgery

This trial tests a new way to control blood flow during laparoscopic liver surgery. It compares two methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients with certain liver conditions.
This trial studies whether a simple “white test” using a special lipid (fat-like) solution can help the surgical team spot open bile ducts early during liver removal. Finding them sooner may help prevent bile leakage after liver surgery.
This study tests a way to prevent bile leaks after surgery to remove part of the liver in children. Bile is a digestive fluid made by the liver, and if it leaks after surgery it can cause problems. The approach involves a special technique during the operation to reduce the chance of this happening.
This trial tests whether using stroke volume variation (SVV) is better than central venous pressure (CVP) to guide fluid management and reduce bleeding during open liver surgery. It aims to find a safer way to manage fluids during the operation.
This study tests whether a new kind of endoscopy clip (a dual-action clip) works well to close openings or gaps seen during routine endoscopic procedures. It may help control bleeding, seal perforations or fistulas, or bring tissue edges together after certain stomach or throat procedures.
This trial studies how doctors manage bleeding before, during, and after liver transplant surgery. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes for people receiving a new liver.
