Predicting survival after gallbladder removal for infected gallbladder
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing a tool to predict survival after gallbladder removal for people with acute cholecystitis caused by gallstones. By joining, you help doctors better assess risk and improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with acute cholecystitis caused by gallstones (using the Tokyo Guidelines criteria).
- You are scheduled to have your gallbladder removed during this hospital stay (even if surgery starts open or switches from laparoscopic to open).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow all study procedures.
- You have not had pancreatitis with this episode, or your symptoms did not start more than 10 days before surgery.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for people with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. It aims to see which approach better helps the immune system and reduces risks for those who are too sick for standard surgery.
This trial compares two ways of checking for and removing stones from the main bile duct during gallbladder surgery. One method uses a special scope (SpyGlass) during the operation, and the other does an MRI first. The goal is to see which approach is better for people with gallstone-related inflammation of the gallbladder who might have stones in the bile duct.
This study uses a computer program to help doctors predict risks and outcomes for patients having laparoscopic liver or gallbladder surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan and manage your care before, during, and after surgery.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria and gut chemical products change after treatment for gallstones. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and recovery after surgery and/or endoscopic procedures.
This study looks at gut bacteria (your microbiome) in people with gallstones to better understand what’s going on in the body. It includes adults having gallbladder removal surgery, and it may help researchers find better ways to predict or treat gallstone disease.
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.
