Multicenter Study
Patterns and predictive factors of complications after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
With an increased use of magnetic resonance imaging, the indications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) have changed. Consequently, the patterns and factors predictive of complications after ERCP performed during current routine clinical practice are not well known. ⋯ ERCP is a procedure with considerable risk for complications. Morbidity and mortality are related to patient age and co-morbidity, as well as hospital volume of ERCP procedures and the type of intervention.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized clinical trial of single-port, minilaparoscopic and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
This three-armed randomized clinical trial, with blinding of patients and outcome assessors, tested the hypothesis that single-port (SP) and/or minilaparoscopic (ML) cholecystectomy are superior to conventional laparoscopic (CL) cholecystectomy. ⋯ DRKS00000302 (German Registry of Clinical Trials).
