All recruiting trials (8)
-
Pain management plan implementation for major open abdominal surgeries
This trial tests an opioid-epidural pain management approach to see if it improves post-surgical pain control for adults undergoing open abdominal procedures like colectomy, hepatectomy, and nephrectomy.
-
Remimazolam vs. Propofol for Maintaining Anesthesia During Major Liver Resection
This study tests whether remimazolam keeps blood pressure steadier than propofol during major liver surgery in adults.
-
Preoperative Geriatric Assessment to Guide Hepatectomy in Older Adults
Aging patients planning liver surgery will be tested to see if a comprehensive geriatric assessment helps tailor perioperative care.
-
Methylprednisolone Before Major Liver Surgery
This trial tests whether giving methylprednisolone before major liver surgery helps reduce postoperative complications like infections and long hospital stays for adults having hepatectomy.
-
AI prediction of liver cancer returning after surgery
This study will test whether an AI program can identify people with early-stage liver cancer who are likely to have the cancer come back within two years after surgery.
-
Evaluating laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy for liver cancer
This study is testing if a less invasive liver surgery for cancer can be safer and lead to better recovery than traditional surgery for people with liver cancer.
-
Using advanced genetic testing to improve diagnosis of bile duct tumors
This study is testing a new genetic test to see if it can help doctors better diagnose bile duct tumors in patients who are having surgery.
-
Comparing spinal and epidural anesthesia for liver surgery recovery
This study is testing whether spinal anesthesia can help people recovering from liver surgery feel better and recover faster compared to epidural anesthesia.
