Pringle maneuver's effect on gallbladder after liver surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a technique called the Pringle maneuver (temporarily stopping blood flow to the liver during surgery) affects gallbladder health after liver surgery. It is for people having a liver tumor removed while keeping their gallbladder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have a liver tumor or lesion confirmed by imaging (CT, MRI, or ultrasound) or biopsy.
- You are scheduled for a liver surgery (hepatectomy) where your gallbladder will be kept.
- Your liver function is good enough (Child-Pugh class A or B) and your overall health status is fit for surgery (ASA class I, II, or III).
- You do not have pre-existing bile duct problems (like gallstones or inflammation), no prior upper abdominal surgery, and no long-term use of certain hormones or medications.

This trial compares two ways to drain and treat gallbladder problems without removing the gallbladder entirely: one uses an endoscope (a camera tube passed through your mouth), and the other uses a tube placed through your skin. It's designed for patients who are too sick for traditional gallbladder surgery or who want to keep their gallbladder.
This trial tests whether a medicine called polyene phosphatidylcholine can help protect the liver from damage after surgery for liver cancer. It is for people who are having a specific type of keyhole surgery to remove part of the liver.
This study tests whether a surgical procedure (splenectomy with azygoportal disconnection) combined with a lipid-lowering medication (LSD) can improve cholesterol levels and reduce bleeding complications in people with advanced liver disease. Researchers will follow participants for 2 years to measure changes in blood lipids and overall health.
This trial compares two different time limits for temporarily clamping the blood supply to the liver during surgery to remove liver cancer. The goal is to see if a shorter clamp time (15 minutes) works just as well as the standard longer time (45 minutes) while possibly reducing side effects.
This trial tests a new way to control blood flow during laparoscopic liver surgery. It compares two methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients with certain liver conditions.
This trial tests whether a procedure using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube) can help prevent future gallbladder problems in people who have had pancreatitis from gallstones but cannot have surgery.
