Fluid detection after liver surgery using remote guided ultrasound
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if a doctor can guide a nurse via video call to use an ultrasound machine to look for fluid buildup in your belly after liver surgery. The goal is to see if remote guidance works as well as having the doctor there in person.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had laparoscopic (keyhole) liver surgery at Oslo University Hospital
- The ultrasound exam will happen within 72 hours (3 days) after surgery
- You are not allergic to ultrasound gel
- You are not carrying certain bacteria (ESBL, MRSA, or VRE) for infection control
- You do not have severe pain that would get worse when the ultrasound probe presses on your belly

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 trial tests whether carefully controlling the amount of fluids given during and after liver surgery can improve recovery. It may help patients avoid complications and have better outcomes after their operation.
