U.S., Sept. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07195643) titled 'Predictive Factors of Drain Insertion After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Cohort Study' on Aug. 20.
Brief Summary: This study looks at when surgical drains are truly needed after laparoscopic gallbladder removal (laparoscopic cholecystectomy). Drains are sometimes placed during surgery to prevent fluid buildup or infection, but many studies show they are not always necessary. We reviewed 559 patients who had this surgery at Safeer Al-Husain Hospital in Karbala, Iraq. The goal of this study is to help doctors decide more carefully when to use drains, so patients can avoid unnecessary tubes and recover more quickly.
