About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between the Removing Port of the Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Material and the Port Site Infections

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gold standard for gallstones. In this study the investigators are investigating the effect of the removing of cholecystectomy material from different ports, to the port site infections.

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gold standard for gallstones. But there is no consensus about which port place is optimal for the removing of the cholecystectomy material from the abdomen. There are different port site infections rates in the literature. The minimal tissue damage of laparoscopic cholecystectomy suggests a lower risk of wound infection, but there are series with an infection range of 8 %. The investigators are investigating is there any difference at the port site infection rates when the cholecystectomy material removed from different ports from the abdomen at the laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Removing from Epigastric portProcedure or surgery

    The cholecystectomy material will be removed from epigastric port. This will be experimental group. Port site infection rates will be measured

Study groups in NCT02788942
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
UmbilicalNo interventionThe cholecystectomy material will be removed from umbilical port as usual. This will be control group. Port site infection rates will be measured.
EpigastricExperimentalThe cholecystectomy material will be removed from epigastric port. This will be experimental group. Port site infection rates will be measured.
Receives: Procedure: Removing from Epigastric port

What is being measured

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

  1. Port site infections

    The cholecystectomy material will be removed from umbilical port at the control group, from the epigastric port at the experimental group. The port site infection rates will be noted.

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Removing from Epigastric port in people with Wound Infection, run by Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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

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?

Port site infections (time frame: 2 days). 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 NCT02788942, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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.
