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 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 trial compares two different lengths of time (15 vs 45 minutes) that the blood flow to the liver is temporarily stopped during surgery to remove liver tumors. The goal is to see if the shorter time works just as well as the longer one while being safer for the liver.
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 study tests a way to prevent bile leaks after surgery to remove part of the liver in children. Bile is a digestive fluid made by the liver, and if it leaks after surgery it can cause problems. The approach involves a special technique during the operation to reduce the chance of this happening.
This trial tests a gallbladder removal technique that may be gentler on people with liver disease. It aims to reduce risks during surgery for those with cirrhosis and gallstones.
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.
