Trial summary

RS and the RS plane are important anatomical markers in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there are many variations in the shape and orientation of the RS, and the RS plane is an imaginary plane, which can be misjudged by different surgeons. Read more about this study

About this study

RS and the RS plane are important anatomical markers in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there are many variations in the shape and orientation of the RS, and the RS plane is an imaginary plane, which can be misjudged by different surgeons. The purpose of this study is to introduce a more intuitive anatomical marker and anatomical plane, hilum plane, and discuss the application value of hilum plane in laparoscopic biliary surgery by comparing it with RS and RS plane.

Read the detailed description

Hepatic hilum plane is the hepatoduodenal serosa plane that extends from the base of the liver IVa segment down to the first segment of the gallbladder triangle.

During the operation, first pulling the gallbladder to the head side, using the separating forceps to slide down horizontally from the hilum (the basement of hepatic segment Ⅳ), and along the serous of hepatoduodenal ligament, that is so called "hilum plane".

It forms a "neck-shoulder" structure when the hilar plane meets the tent-like hepatobiliary triangle. the serosa of hepatobiliary triangle was dissected on the neck area and ventral side of hilar plane, and the serosa of posterior triangle of the gallbladder was also cutted on the same extension line . In this process, the type and orientation of RS, the relationship between the plane of the RS sulcus and the plane of the hilar plane were also recorded and compared with hilum plane.

What is being measured

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

  1. The type of Rouviere sulcus and the "fake RS"

    The Rouviere sulcus was present if a fissure was seen in the liver parenchyma on the right side of the gallbladder and continues with the right posterior hepatic pedicle(fig ). RS were further subdivided into three classes: "open type", "fused type" or "absent type"). The "plane of RS sulcus" was also recorded If the RS was not the absent type.

    Measured: up to 30 days after surgery

  2. The orientation of RS and The relationship between hepatic portal plane and RS plane

    the RS plane is an imaginary line drawn along the sulcus and carried across to the base of segment IV and form a "security triangle". Similarly, the hilar plane can also form a triangle in posterior triangle of gallbladder. The areas of these triangles were Compared.

    Measured: up to 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cholelithiasis and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, run by The Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 12 Aug 2021. 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 China. 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.

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?

Contact lei wang, MD (+8615156086983, wl9252@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The type of Rouviere sulcus and the "fake RS" (time frame: up to 30 days after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Aug 2021.
