Filter by:This study aims to assess the need to stop Aspirin before elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. It will consist of 2 arms: patients who continue to take Aspirin perioperatively and patients who stop Aspirin 5-7 days before the surgery.
Rationale: Lumbosacral radicular syndrome (LSRS) is caused by a herniated lumbar nucleus pulposus (HNP) and the estimated annual incidence in The Netherlands ranges between 60,000 to 75,000 people. Open microdiscectomy is the standard surgical technique. In recent years, several surgical techniques have been developed including, percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED). While PTED is gaining popularity in The Netherlands, evidence of its effects is lacking, leading to a heated debate. The current position of Zorginstituut Nederland (ZiN) is that there is insufficient evidence to support its use; therefore, PTED is not financially covered. The consequence is, patients are forced to pay the costs of treatment themselves. This study is expected to provide the necessary data to answer the question regarding effects and costs of PTED vs. open microdiscectomy, and help resolve the current debate.
This prospective randomized is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hernia repairs using local anesthesia compared with those using general anesthesia for patients with incarcerated hernia.
The goal is to assess the feasibility and safety of implementing Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) therapy in fetuses with severe left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) at UTHealth. UTHealth's success in this study (with an initial 5 patients) will determine the feasibility of UTHealth's future participation in multi-center trials of this intervention.
CDH is a birth defect characterized by the development, very early in gestation, of a hole in the diaphragm, the breathing muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. As a result, the intestines and other organs in the abdomen can move into the chest and press on the developing lungs. This prevents the lungs from growing and developing normally. In severe cases, CDH can lead to serious disease and death at birth. For these babies, treatment before birth may allow the lungs to grow enough before birth so these children are capable of surviving and thriving.
The rationale for fetal therapy in severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is to restore adequate lung growth for neonatal survival.
Prospective observational study with mesh fixation using FDA approved synthetic glue,glubran 2 and standard mesh fixation with stiches in primary inguinal hernia repair surgery. The investigators aim is to recruit 150 patients for the study. The outcomes The investigators would like to determine are : postoperative pain,recurrences and complication rates such as seromas.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of HQ® Matrix Soft Tissue Mesh for the Treatment of Inguinal Hernia. Half of participants will receive HQ® Matrix Soft Tissue Mesh, while the other half will receive ULTRAPRO® Partially Absorbable Lightweight Mesh.
A clinical study evaluating acute and chronic pain following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair comparing the ProGripTM self- fixating mesh with tack fixation.
The aim of this study is the visualization of the mesh surface and the confirmation with MRI scan at 1 month and 13 months after standardized retromuscular incisional hernia repair with the visible CICAT mesh (Dynamesh®).
