Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
Laparoscopic (keyhole) cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure where several small cuts (incisions) are made in the abdomen to access and remove the gallbladder. There is a lack of evidence about whether using a bag to extract the gallbladder reduces surgical site infection. Therefore the aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of bag extraction of the gallbladder at preventing surgical site infection.
Who can participate?
Adult patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy
What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to have their gallbladder removed either using a bag or without using a bag. Surgical site infections, complications (hernia) and costs are compared between the two groups.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The use of a bag may reduce the chance of a surgical site infection. No side effects are expected.
Where is the study run from?
Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu (Spain)
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
January 2011 to December 2012
Who is funding the study?
Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu (Spain)
Who is the main contact?
Dr David Parés

| Scientific title | A prospective, randomised control trial of the effect of bag extraction in the prophylaxis of wound infection in laparoscopic cholecystectomy |
| Study objectives | The use of bag to extract specimen during laparoscopic cholecystectomy will diminish the rate of wound infection on wound trocar site. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Comité de Etica Investigació Clinica, January 2011, ref: 2010-Parés Study |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Choleitiasis/laparoscopic cholecystectomy |
| Intervention | The use of bag to extract specimen (gallbladder) after operation versus not using the bag (standard protocol). At the end of the surgical intervention and after randomization, a bag will be used to extract the specimen for the umbilicus port site wound. |
