Timing of gallbladder removal after drainage for severe inflammation

This trial compares a new ultrasound-guided way to drain the gallbladder using an endoscope versus non-endoscopic treatments. It’s for adults with acute gallbladder inflammation (from stones) who cannot have surgery, aiming to reduce complications and improve recovery.

This trial compares two procedures—aspirating (suctioning) bile vs draining it—when the gallbladder is acutely inflamed. It may help patients avoid or delay urgent surgery when acute gallbladder removal is not needed right away.

This trial compares two ways to drain and treat gallbladder problems without removing the gallbladder entirely: one uses an endoscope (a camera tube passed through your mouth), and the other uses a tube placed through your skin. It's designed for patients who are too sick for traditional gallbladder surgery or who want to keep their gallbladder.

This study compares two minimally invasive ways to drain an infected gallbladder in people who are too sick for surgery. It aims to find which method works better and improves quality of life.

This international study tracks how hospitals treat severe acute gallstone inflammation of the gallbladder (acute calculous cholecystitis) and what outcomes patients experience. Your participation helps doctors understand the best management strategies for this serious condition.

This study looks at the best time to remove the gallbladder in people who have had a severe bout of pancreatitis caused by gallstones. It aims to see if removing the gallbladder earlier or later after recovery helps patients heal better.
