Single incision gallbladder surgery for acute cholecystitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether removing the gallbladder through a single small cut (single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is safe and effective for people with acute cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation). It may mean less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have acute cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation) that is mild to moderate (grade I or II).
- You do not have advanced liver cirrhosis (Child class B or worse).
- You have not had surgery on your upper abdomen before.
- Your surgery is expected to be a simple gallbladder removal through a single small cut, without needing a larger operation.
- You and your family agree to the treatment and follow-up schedule.

This trial looks at whether healing after gallbladder removal is better when the surgery is done with a few small cuts (laparoscopy) versus one larger cut (open surgery). It may help you avoid wound infections.
This trial compares two ways to drain an inflamed gallbladder in patients who cannot safely have surgery: one approach goes through the stomach wall using ultrasound guidance, and the other goes through a bile duct opening. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer problems.
This study tests a new surgical method for removing the gallbladder that tries to keep the back wall of the gallbladder intact. It may be safer for people with cirrhosis and gallstones who need surgery.
This study compares the results of gallbladder removal surgery done within the first 72 hours of symptoms versus after 72 hours for people with acute cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation). It aims to see if the timing makes a difference in outcomes.
This study tests a new type of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) to remove both gallstones and bile duct stones at the same time. The goal is to avoid the need for a second procedure or a drainage tube after surgery.
This trial compares two ways to remove the gallbladder during laparoscopic surgery: through the belly button or through a cut just below the breastbone. It aims to find which method causes less pain and recovers faster.
