About this study

The main purpose of this study is to utilize operative grading scale to predict conversion to open,complication and reintervention and validate Nassar Scale.

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the commonly performed procedure in our institute. Laparosopic cholecystectomy is high variable surgery ranging from simple routine operation to difficult surgery leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The majority of previous scores use a combination of pre-operative and operative data and were produced in studies that were limited by retrospective data, small sample sizes and lack of external validation.

Very few intraoperative difficulty grading scale was published and none are widely used in clinical practice. So operative grading scale will have advantages of assisting in intra-operative strategy and planning, allowing comparison across different research studies, facilitating risk adjustment for surgical outcomes and providing an aid in training surgeons and monitoring of training progression.

The main purpose of this study is to utilize operative grading scale to predict conversion to open,complication and reintervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Laproscopic cholecystectomy Conversion to open with Nassar Grade

    Laproscopic cholecystectomy converted to open with Nassar grade ie chance of conversion to open in higher Nassar grade(difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy)

    Measured: 30 day

  2. Duration of Surgery

    Measured: 30 day

  3. Introperative Complication with Nassar Grade

    Complication like biliary spillage, stone spillage and bleeding with higher Nassar grade (difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy)

    Measured: 30 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total length of stay

    Measured: 30 day

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

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?

Laproscopic cholecystectomy Conversion to open with Nassar Grade (time frame: 30 day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04994171, 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.

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 9 Aug 2021.
