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 compares two different methods for removing the gallbladder during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It aims to see if one method causes fewer problems or is easier for patients like you.
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 trial tests a gallbladder removal technique that may be gentler on people with liver disease. It aims to reduce risks during surgery for those with cirrhosis and gallstones.
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.
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for people with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. It aims to see which approach better helps the immune system and reduces risks for those who are too sick for standard surgery.
