Trial summary

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for gall bladder stone disease. Difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the most common "difficult" surgical procedure performed today, which possesses the potential to place the patient at significant operative risk.The aim of this study was to put a… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Scoring System for Laparoscopic Cholycystectomy to Pick up Difficult Cases

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for gall bladder stone disease. Difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the most common "difficult" surgical procedure performed today, which possesses the potential to place the patient at significant operative risk.The aim of this study was to put a scoring system to avoid difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Read the detailed description

Patients with symptomatic chronic calculous cholecystitis based on clinical and radiological correlation undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Assiut University hospitals will be included for the study of 100 patients will operated by single experienced laparoscopic surgeon.The scores are given on history, clinical examination and radiological findings one day prior to surgery on admission.

Being tested

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

Contact Abobakr Mahfouz Abobakr, Resident (00201066336030 ext. 00201554228866, karemmahfouz99@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of preoperative scoring method for prediction of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT04569370, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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