Trial summary

Bile duct injury following cholecystectomy is an iatrogenic catastrophe associated with significant peri operative morbidity and mortality(1, 2) reduced long term survival(3) and quality of life(4, 5) and high rates of subsequent litigation6. It should be regarded as preventable. Read more about this study

About this study

Bile duct injury following cholecystectomy is an iatrogenic catastrophe associated with significant peri operative morbidity and mortality(1, 2) reduced long term survival(3) and quality of life(4, 5) and high rates of subsequent litigation6. It should be regarded as preventable.

The advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has resulted in a resurgence of interest in bile duct injury and its subsequent management. Population based studies(6.7) suggest a significant increase in the incidence of injury (0•1 to 0•5 per cent) following the implementation of the laparoscopic approach(8) Bile duct injury should be regarded as preventable, but over 70 per cent of surgeons regard it as unavoidable(9). Although most injuries occur within the surgeon's first 100 laparoscopic cholecystectomies, one third happen after the surgeon has performed more than 200; it is more than inexperience that leads to bile duct injury(10). It has been suggested that the commonest cause of common bile duct injury is misidentification of biliary anatomy (70-80 per cent of injuries)(11,12),a reduction in risk if surgeons perform routine intraoperative cholangiography Recognition of bile duct injury at the time of cholecystectomy allows an opportunity for the hepatobiliary surgeon to assess its severity and the presence of any vascular injury

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CBD exoloration in people with Biliary Fistula, run by Assiut University.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

faliure of interventon (time frame: two months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Oct 2019.
