Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Cholecystectomy, Laparoscopic
Excision of the gallbladder through an abdominal incision using a laparoscope.
Cholecystectomy
Surgical removal of the GALLBLADDER.
Sphincterotomy, Endoscopic
Incision of Oddi's sphincter or Vater's ampulla performed by inserting a sphincterotome through an endoscope (DUODENOSCOPE) often following retrograde cholangiography (CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY, ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE). Endoscopic treatment by sphincterotomy is the preferred method of treatment for patients with retained or recurrent bile duct stones post-cholecystectomy, and for poor-surgical-risk patients that have the gallbladder still present.
Gallbladder Emptying
A process whereby bile is delivered from the gallbladder into the duodenum. The emptying is caused by both contraction of the gallbladder and relaxation of the sphincter mechanism at the choledochal terminus.
Gallbladder Neoplasms
Tumors or cancer of the gallbladder.
Clinical Trials
Small-Incision Open Cholecystectomy or Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gallbladder Disease
The trial compares minilaparotomy (small-incision) cholecystectomy with (key-hole) laparoscopic cholecystectomy by randomly allocating patients with gallbladder disease to two groups of su...
SILS™ Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Post Market Study
The objectives of this trial are: 1. to assess the feasibility and safety of performing SILS™ Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy 2. monitor and compare the outcomes of SI...
Transvaginal Cholecystectomy Using Endoscopic Assistance
Surgical removal of the gallbladder is needed in 1 million people per year in the USA. The procedure is done by placing four tubes (cannula) from 5 to 10 mm through the abdominal wall. Air...
Single Port Access (SPA) Cholecystectomy Versus Standard Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Background: Single port access surgery is a rapidly progressing surgical approach which allows performance of standard laparoscopic surgery through a single transparietal port instead of...
Case matched study on 50 consecutive patients undergoing robotic assisted cholecystectomy (Da Vinci Robot, Intuitive Surgical). These patients are matched 1:1 to 50 patients with conventio...

ABSTRACT: Metastatic disease to the gallbladder is unusual. The most common malignancy metastatic to the gallbladder is melanoma, followed by renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and breast cancer. Due to the u...
Venous thromboembolism after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: clinical burden and prevention.
BACKGROUND: The clinical benefit of prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy is unclear. This study aimed to assess the clinical burden of VTE and the efficacy and...
Chyle leak following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a rare complication.
Gallstone disease is a highly prevalent condition which is commonly and safely treated by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We present the third reported case of chyle leakage following laparoscopic chole...
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the treatment of choice for gallstone disease. Advantages of the laparoscopic approach include lower morbidity and mortality rates, reduced length o...
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the standard treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis in patients with situs inversus totalis (SIT). Nowadays, singleincision multiport laparoscopic surgery is...
