Scoping to treat bile duct injuries after surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests using a scope (endoscope) to fix bile duct injuries that happen after surgery. It may help people with post-surgery leaks or blockages in the bile ducts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a bile duct injury after a liver or gallbladder surgery (like laparoscopic cholecystectomy or liver resection).
- Your injury was treated in a participating center between January 2021 and December 2024.

This trial looks at why some bile duct stones don't clear after a special procedure using a tiny camera (cholangioscopy) to break them up. The goal is to help doctors predict who will have better results.
This trial studies whether a simple “white test” using a special lipid (fat-like) solution can help the surgical team spot open bile ducts early during liver removal. Finding them sooner may help prevent bile leakage after liver surgery.
This trial tests a special scope that helps doctors see inside the bile duct during an ERCP procedure. It may help people with blocked bile ducts that can't be treated with standard methods.
This trial tests an endoscopic (camera-based) approach to treat bile duct narrowing that happens after a liver transplant. It may help improve bile flow and liver blood test results when the narrowing is in the bile duct area near where the liver’s bile ducts split.
This trial tests a new way to diagnose and treat gallstones or bile duct narrowing without surgery, using a needle through the skin (percutaneous treatment). It is for people whose condition could not be fixed with an endoscope.
This trial compares a single-use scope to a reusable one for people with bile duct or pancreatic duct problems. It aims to see if the single-use scope works as well and may reduce infection risk.
