-
PEG bowel preparation effects on gut microbes after gallbladder removal
This study tests whether PEG-based colonoscopy prep causes larger or longer-lasting changes to gut microbes in adults who have had their gallbladder removed compared with people who still have their gallbladder.
-
Comparing laparoscopic ultrasound and fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green to map bile ducts during difficult laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This will try two imaging methods—laparoscopic ultrasound and fluorescence cholangiography with indocyanine green—in adults having technically difficult laparoscopic gallbladder removal to see which shows the bile duct anatomy best.
-
Real-time AI labeling of critical anatomy during laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This project will try a real-time AI algorithm to label key anatomical structures in laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos to help surgeons avoid bile duct injuries.
-
Robotic versus laparoscopic gallbladder removal for benign gallbladder disease
This trial will test whether robotic gallbladder removal is as safe as standard laparoscopic surgery for adults who need their gallbladder removed for benign disease.
-
How genetic differences affect nalbuphine pain relief after abdominal or pelvic surgery
We will test whether genetic differences change how well nalbuphine relieves pain after abdominal or pelvic surgery in adults.
-
Stanford program to advance robotic surgery for children and adolescents
This program will try the da Vinci Xi surgical robot in children and adolescents (ages 6–21, ≥15 kg) to see if it is safe and works well for procedures like sleeve gastrectomy, cholecystectomy, splenectomy, hysterectomy, and operations for endometriosis.

Quick answers
How many Cholecystectomy clinical trials are recruiting right now?
6, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 5 countries. The most sites are in China (2 trials), Pakistan (1 trial), United Kingdom (1 trial), United States (1 trial), Spain (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 2/3: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
