About this study

Official title: A Randomized Trial of Single Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Versus Four Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

This is a single-institution, prospective, one-to-one randomized controlled research study. Subjects medically determined to need a cholecystectomy will be consented for surgery and study participation prior to enrolment in this study. Patients will then be randomized to receive either a single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy or a four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Being tested
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post-operative pain scores (visual analogue pain scale from 0-10)assessed on post-operative day 1 and at the post-operative follow up visit in clinic. The mean pain scores will be compared using student's t-test.

    Measured: 3-6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The postoperative infection rate will be monitored and compared for patients undergoing single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

    Measured: 3-6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery in people with Cholecystectomy, Laparoscopic, run by Providence Health & Services at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-operative pain scores (visual analogue pain scale from 0-10)assessed on post-operative day 1 and at the post-operative follow up visit in clinic. The mean pain scores will be compared using student's t-test. (time frame: 3-6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00892879, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2011.
