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 study tests whether giving antibiotics before liver or bile duct surgery can prevent wound infections in areas where bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics. You would receive antibiotics as a preventive measure and be monitored for any surgical site infections.
This study compares whether you need antibiotics after laparoscopic surgery for a complicated, “localized” appendix infection. It aims to find the safest, most effective antibiotic approach after surgery.
This study looks at pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help find better ways to manage discomfort after surgery.
This trial looks at whether it is safe to delay treatment for a gallbladder infection in patients who have already had a special stent placed to drain the gallbladder. Patients who are too sick for surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either antibiotics with monitoring or immediate gallbladder removal.
This trial compares giving more or less IV fluids during gallbladder removal surgery to see which helps patients recover faster. It may help you heal better after your operation.
