Combined gallbladder removal and belly button hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at doing two surgeries at once: removing the gallbladder and repairing an umbilical hernia. It may be helpful if you have both conditions and are healthy enough for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic gallbladder disease (with gallstones) AND an umbilical hernia at the same time.
- You can be any age, male or female.
- You must not have serious lung, heart, or kidney disease.
- Your hernia must not be strangulated (stuck or causing severe pain).
- You must not have had a previous umbilical hernia repair that came back.

This trial tests two minimally invasive surgical methods for fixing a hernia near the belly button. It aims to find which approach works better and has fewer complications.
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 tests a one-time procedure that removes stones from both the gallbladder and the bile duct. It may help people who need both surgeries or who couldn't be treated with endoscopy alone.
This study tests the use of a robotic device to fix two hernias at once—one in the groin and one near the belly button. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who need both hernias repaired.
This trial tests a method (using a special mesh) to help prevent an abdominal wall hernia after planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you’re at risk of developing a hernia where the surgery cuts are made, this study may help reduce that risk.
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.
