To Drain or Not to Drain in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for the Patients With Acutely Inflamed Gallbladder ; a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with drain insertion for Acute Cholecystitis and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 198 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
During laparoscopic surgery for an acutely inflamed gallbladder, most surgeons routinely insert a drain. However, no consensus has been reached regarding the need for drainage in these cases, and the use of a drain remains controversial. This study is coordinated to find out the surgical outcomes and perioperative morbidity according to the insertion of drain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Investigators expect that the routine use of a drain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for an acutely inflamed gallbladder will have no effects on the postoperative morbidity.
