Bile leaks after surgery for liver echinococcosis
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how bile leaks (fistulas) happen after surgery for liver echinococcosis, a parasitic infection. It aims to improve understanding and treatment to help patients recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are under 18 years old
- You have liver echinococcosis (a parasitic cyst in the liver) and are scheduled for surgery
- You have had all the needed tests before surgery
- Your surgery details and recovery will be fully recorded and tracked for up to 3 months after you leave the hospital

This study looks at parts of the liver cyst wall during surgery for echinococcosis. It aims to learn more about the infection to help future treatments.
This trial looks at people with inactive liver cysts caused by echinococcus infection. It aims to understand these cysts better, which might help guide future care decisions.
This study tests a way to prevent bile leaks after surgery to remove part of the liver in children. Bile is a digestive fluid made by the liver, and if it leaks after surgery it can cause problems. The approach involves a special technique during the operation to reduce the chance of this happening.
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people having surgery for echinococcosis. The samples will help develop a better PCR test (a lab test that detects the parasite) so doctors can diagnose the infection more accurately.
This trial looks at whether a specific small procedure during ERCP helps doctors reach and drain the bile duct when gallstones or bile duct narrowing are suspected. It may help people avoid getting stuck during the procedure and improve how successfully the bile duct can be reached.
This trial looks at three different ways to treat people who have both gallstones and stones in the bile duct. It aims to find which approach works best and with the fewest complications.
