About this study

Official title: Suture Ligation Versus Clipping of Cystic Duct and Artery During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy . " A Prospective Comparative Study"

The investigators will compare between clipping and ligation of the cystic duct and the cystic artery in Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This is the main question that will be discussed in the review.

Read the detailed description

cholecystectomy is the second most commonly intra-abdominal operation worldwide after Appendectomy. In standard surgery ,there are increase incidence of wound infection,bleeding , discomfort and hospital stay so laparoscopic surgery has become the best choice for treatment of symptomatic and uncomplicated Gall bladder stones and hernia repair.

Once laparoscopic cholecystectomy emerged controversies persist with regard to the best method to ligate the cystic duct and artery. They may be ligated by separate and multiple ligatures by absorbable suture material, or using absorbable clips.

Suture ligation of cystic duct appeared to be more cost effective.On the other hand, the application of clips shown to have some drawbacks such as dislodgement and bile leakage and increase liability of long term clip migration which resulted in biliary stone formation or bile duct stenosis and also they are expensive .Another complication of clips that they may ulcerated through the duodenum.

Ligation takes more time than applying a clip, and it needs well training, but it is feasible, cost- effective and safe alternative method to secure cystic duct and artery in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The Aim of this study is to compare the two different methods; Tie versus clipping, for securing cystic duct and artery in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In terms of efficacy and safety, and also the difference in the times of operations in both methods

Being tested
clipping or ligation of the cystic duct and the cystic artery in Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. safety and efficiency of closure of cystic duct and artery after cutting them during laparoscopic cholecystectomy

    The investigators will seek to know the incidence of postoperative complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (as signs of biliary leakage as pain, jaundice and raised serum bilirubin level and follow up the drain inserted after doing laparoscopic cholecystectomy)

    then the investigators will make a comparison between incidence of these complication after closure of cystic duct and artery either by clipping or ligation by sutures.

    The investigators will try to know rate of advantages disadvantages of each technique also do our best to make strategies for improving efficiency and safety.

    Measured: one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing clipping or ligation of the cystic duct and the cystic artery in Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in people with Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, 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 27 Sep 2022. 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?

Contact Morsi Morsi, phd (00201006727303, profmorsy6060@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

safety and efficiency of closure of cystic duct and artery after cutting them during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (time frame: one month). 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 NCT05555810, which also lists 2 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?
