Comparing low and high pressure during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
Comparison Between Low Pressure Pneumoperitoneum with High Pressure Pneumoperitoneum in Post-operative Pain, Shoulder Tip Pain and Common Bile Duct Injuries in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
NA · Gulab Devi Hospital · NCT06447545
This study is testing whether using lower or higher pressure during gallbladder surgery can help reduce pain and complications for patients after the procedure.

What this trial studies
This study compares the effects of low pressure pneumoperitoneum (6-10 mmHg) versus high pressure pneumoperitoneum (12-15 mmHg) on postoperative pain, shoulder tip pain, and common bile duct injuries in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The research aims to fill a knowledge gap regarding the incidence of these complications associated with different pressure settings during surgery. By analyzing patient outcomes, the study seeks to determine which pressure setting may lead to better recovery experiences for patients undergoing gallbladder removal. The findings could provide valuable insights into optimizing surgical techniques for improved patient care.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients of both genders who are scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis.
Not a fit: Patients with cardiac abnormalities or those who have had previous abdominal surgeries may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to reduced postoperative pain and complications for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on this specific comparison, similar studies have explored the effects of pneumoperitoneum pressure on surgical outcomes, indicating potential for meaningful insights.
