Study of a normal groove in the liver area during surgery
This study looks at anatomical variations—normal differences in anatomy—in a specific groove near the liver during a gallbladder removal (videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy). It may help surgeons better understand anatomy to make surgeries safer and more predictable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for videolaparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery.
- During surgery, the study team needs a clear view of the right liver area where the groove is.
- The lower edge of the right liver lobe must be visible enough to examine.
- The main bile duct structures (the bile drainage pathways) must be clearly visible.
- If these parts can’t be seen clearly on the surgical images, you may be excluded.

This trial tests a new method that combines different medical images (CT, MRI, ultrasound) to help guide surgeons during laparoscopic (keyhole) liver surgery. It may make the surgery more precise and safer.
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people having gallbladder surgery to better understand what a normal abdominal wall looks like. If you are scheduled for gallbladder removal due to gallstones and do not have certain health conditions, you may be able to help.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze surgery videos and help surgeons identify important structures during gallbladder removal. It may lead to safer procedures.
This study uses a computer program to help doctors predict risks and outcomes for patients having laparoscopic liver or gallbladder surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan and manage your care before, during, and after surgery.
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 is testing a robot-assisted system (Versius) for gallbladder removal surgery. It's looking at how well the system works in everyday hospital use.
