Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Using Airseal in Children

Completed

• Conditions: Gall Stones (& [Calculus - Gall Bladder]); Cholecystitis; Pancreatitis Due to Gallstones; Child, Only

• Registration Number: NCT06734507
• Lead Sponsor: Destinval Christelle

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the use of Airseal versus a standard insufflation, in children who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, between January 2021 and December 2022.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* amount of analgesics consumed postoperatively

* mean digital pain scale

Data are directly extracted from patients medical files.

The investigators will compare the Airseal group (A group) to the Standard insufflation group (S group) to see if the A group consumes significatively less analgesics and are less painful than the S group.

Detailed Description

Choosing to enter the A or the S group depends on the surgeon's choice.

Only the surgeon, the anesthetic and the nurses in the operating room know which type of insufflation has been chosen.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Amount of analgesics consumed	From the end of surgery to the discharge home, up to 20 days	Number of takings postoperatively
Mean Digital Pain Scale	From the end of surgery to the discharge home, , up to 20 days	Digital Pain Scale: minimum is 0 out of 10 (which means no pain) and maximum is 10 out of 10 (which means very painful). Higher scores mean worse outcomes.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Operating time	Perioperatively	Time-length of surgery
Anesthetic time	Perioperatively	Time-length of anesthesia
Length of stay	From the day of hospitalization to the day of discharge home, up to 20 days	Hospital length of stay
Histological results	Between 2 weeks and 4 weeks after surgery	Analysis of the gall bladder after removal
