Microbes in bile duct tissue: a surgical study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria and other microbes in the bile ducts of people with biliary dilatation compared to healthy donors. The goal is to understand how these microbes might be linked to the condition, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with biliary dilatation (a widening or enlargement of the bile ducts)
- You are already scheduled to have surgery to remove the affected bile duct
- No other severe health conditions that could interfere with the study
- Enough good-quality tissue from your surgery can be used for research

This study collects health information from people in China who have biliary dilation (widening of the bile ducts). It looks at their medical history and follows some patients over time to learn more about the condition.
This study follows children who have had bile duct (biliary tract) surgery to understand how their bodies change and adapt afterward. Researchers compare them with healthy children to learn what is normal and help improve care.
This study tests a new surgical method to remove stones from the gallbladder and bile duct at the same time using tiny incisions and a small tube. It may help people with both conditions avoid a second procedure and recover faster.
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 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 for links between Helicobacter bacteria and cancers of the bile ducts and gallbladder. It compares patients with bile duct cancer, people having gallbladder surgery for non-cancer reasons, and healthy liver donors.
