Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A single-center randomized comparison of bedside ultrasound (US)-guided trocar technique versus the US-guided Seldinger technique for percutaneous cholecystostomy

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a single-center, randomized, controlled trial (RCT), comparing bedside US-guided trocar technique versus the US-guided Seldinger technique for percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC). The study will randomize a total of 100 consecutive patients (50 in each group) undergoing PC at one large tertiary university hospital. The primary endpoints will be technical success and procedure-related complication rates. Secondary endpoints will be procedural duration, pain assessment, and clinical success after up to 3 months of follow-up.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group T

Patients will be randomized to undergo PC catheter placement (8-French) using the trocar method under US guidance while receiving local anesthesia and opioid analgesic, in a bedside setting, either in the US room or in the ICU.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Trocar percutaneous cholecystostomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Percutaneous cholecystostomy using the one-step Trocar technique under US guidance. An 8Fr Trocar catheter will be inserted percutaneously within the gallbladder under real-time US guidance. The procedure will be performed using an aseptic technique, local anesthesia and intravenous opioid analgesia.

Group S

Patients will be randomized to undergo PC catheter placement (8-French) using the Sellinger method under US guidance while receiving local anesthesia and opioid analgesic, in a bedside setting, either in the US room or in the ICU.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Seldinger percutaneous cholecystostomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Percutaneous cholecystostomy using the Seldinger technique under US guidance. Following percutaneous puncture of the gallbladder with an 18G needle under real-time US guidance, an 8Fr catheter will be inserted percutaneously over the wire within the gallbladder under real-time US guidance. The procedure will be performed using an aseptic technique, local anesthesia and intravenous opioid analgesia.
