Cutting unnecessary tests before low-risk surgeries
This study helps surgical teams cut down on unnecessary tests before common low-risk surgeries, like breast lump removal, gallbladder removal, or hernia repair. It aims to improve patient care by reducing extra, unneeded procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a surgeon or work at a surgical practice that does breast lump removal, gallbladder removal, or hernia repair.
- Your practice orders routine medical tests (like blood tests or X-rays) for at least 3 out of every 10 patients having one of these surgeries.
- You treat adult patients (18 years or older) for these procedures.

This study looks at different ways doctors cut and seal the liver during keyhole surgery. It aims to find the safest and most cost-effective method for removing liver tumors or other growths.
This trial tests a smart reminder system to help surgeons follow safety steps during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It aims to reduce risks and improve outcomes for patients with non-cancerous gallbladder disease.
This study tests a new care pathway (RAUC) to see if it can help reduce unplanned hospital visits after emergency digestive surgery. If you are having emergency surgery for a digestive issue, you may be able to join.
This trial collects information from routine minimally invasive surgeries to better understand what happens during operations and how it may affect your recovery. Researchers hope to find ways to improve surgical care and outcomes.
This trial tests a method (using a special mesh) to help prevent an abdominal wall hernia after planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you’re at risk of developing a hernia where the surgery cuts are made, this study may help reduce that risk.
This trial studies a low-impact approach to colon or upper-rectum surgery using small cameras (laparoscopy) to see if it works well and is safe. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for a specific type of colon/rectal operation and can safely be monitored during the study.
