Filter by:Background: Laparoscopic appendectomy as a minimal invasive procedure had low morbidity and mortality. It affords a direct diagnosis of the problem, allows determination of the appropriate treatment. Open appendectomy is global treatment of acute appendicitis can be done by many incisions, and associated with considerable complications. Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional descriptive hospital-based study to study the outcome of laparoscopic appendectomy versus open appendectomy at Elmak Nimer University Hospital over the study period. All patients in the study period who underwent appendectomy was included, data is collected through standard structured data collection sheet and analyzed by using SPSS v24.0.
When we look at the literature, studies examining the effect of having patients watch comedy films on anxiety and pain are limited. However, it was observed that the anxiety and pain levels of oncology patients who underwent surgery decreased by watching comedy movies. Therefore, in order to use the healing effects of humor, our study was planned to determine the effect of watching comedy films on the level of anxiety and postoperative pain in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
Despite the recent advancement in diagnostic modalities, many surgeons experience till this day unexpected findings during the course of surgery. Very few information is available in the medical literature in order to assist the surgeon with the anticipation and preparation to deal with Incidental Findings (IFs). Such valuable information can be of great benefit to the surgeon, as the surgical team can prepare himself better -technically and scientifically- to deal with the common expected IFs. The authors aim to examine the incidence of all IFs in abdominal surgery -laparoscopy or laparotomy- and identify possible associations through a cross-sectional designed study conducted in Aleppo University Hospital - Department of Surgery. The authors collected patients' data who underwent abdominal surgery during the period of the two-consecutive years 2018-2019.
The Study investigates a new product, sFilm-FS, aimed to help controlling body fluid leakage in general surgery procedures, proposing its use as an adjunct to hemostasis and/or sealing.
The investigators retrospectively evaluated all the patients operated in a high-risk community hospital from the first Italian case of Covid-19 (February 21st) to the April 10th (in order to have at least a 30-days follow-up). The investigators selected those patients who had a preoperative or post-operative positive Real Time - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 and the clinical outcome of the participants was evaluated in term of need of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) post-operative recovery, medical and surgical complications, length of hospital stay and death.
Patients will be admitted in the intensive care unit after major abdominal surgery. All patients will receive 100 mg of tramadol intravenously every 6 hours. Pain will be assessed before and half an hour after tramadol administration by verbal Numeric Rating Scale.
An anonymous national survey involving all practicing Algerian surgeons was conducted. At the end of the survey, all data were captured and processed using the SPSS v20 software; χ 2 tests were used to compare different groups of surgeons.
Recent years, lots of treatment teqnique have development. We aimed that comparising the normal and small size meshes in the inguinal hernia patients.
İn this study; it was aimed to investigate the effects of equipotent doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine and hyperbaric levobupivacaine in outpatient anorectal surgery under saddle block. Sixty patients between the age of 18- 50 and in the risk group of ASA I-II included in the study. 7,5 mg of 0,5% hyperbaric bupivacaine or 7,5 mg of 0,5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine injected into the intrathecal space in sitting position through L4-L5 or L5-S1 intervertebral space in 30 seconds. All patients kept in sitting position for 5 minutes with aid after intrathecal injection and than layed in supine position, finally they positioned in prone jack-knife. Hemodynamic parameters like NIBP, HR, SpO2, sensory and motor block characteristics, duration of analgesia, time of first voiding, mobilization time, patient and surgeon satisfaction, adverse effects and discharge time were recorded during and after surgery.
This study compares three different methods of outpatient follow up after surgical admission to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown. The three arms of the study are text message, telephone call or in-person outpatient follow up. Data will be collected to identify complications identified in each arm along with the rate of non-response to the follow up methods and the level of satisfaction with the method. Willingness to use a telemedicine app in the future will also be evaluated through satisfaction survey.
