Filter by:Prospective registry comparing outcomes after laparoscopic treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and hiatal hernia.
Although mesh fixation has been associated to an increased incidence of nerve injury and involves increased operative costs, many surgeons feel that fixation is necessary to reduce the risk of hernia recurrence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic herniorrhaphies performed with and without mesh fixation at our institution.
The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of using Ultrapro mesh along with the usual bladder removal surgery, versus having the usual bladder removal surgery without the use of the mesh.
The aim of the present study is to determine the efficacy of the placement of an onlay mesh to prevent incisional hernia after loop ileostomy closure in patients with a prior rectal resection for cancer
A parastomal bulge (PB) is a frequent long-term complication after stoma formation. Most parastomal bulging occurs within two years of stoma formation but is seen up to 20 years post-surgery. A bulge may be relatively obvious or extremely difficult to diagnose, and descriptions of symptoms vary from 'asymptomatic', 'symptomatic' to 'high symptom load'. Previous studies report that quality of life as well as physical, psychological and social function are affected in patients with parastomal bulging. However, there is a lack of knowledge of patients' lived experiences with parastomal bulging. Insight into patients' experiences of symptoms in relation to parastomal bulging and the impact on everyday life may help identify issues of importance from the patient perspective. This, in turn, may help professionals to better understand and support patients with PB, and be of help when identifying patients' symptoms and determining relevant treatment strategies.
This trial will test whether temporary fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) rather than expectant management during pregnancy, followed by standardized postnatal management, increases survival at discharge and decreases oxygen need at 6 months in case of survival till discharge.
The aim of the present prospective controlled study is to compare the trunk muscle strength, quality of life and neuropathic pain component after Lichtenstein and Kugel procedures.
To determine the appropriate volume (size) of ventilator breath during volume-targetted ventilation for infants born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
The rate of success 12 months after surgery is reported to be 60-65% in patients with lumbar disc herniation and 60-70% in patients with spinal stenosis. At the Back Center Copenhagen, patients with persistent low back pain caused by lumbar disc herniation and spinal stenosis are treated by a multidisciplinary team comprising rheumatologists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and social workers according to current guidelines. Therefore we have a unique opportunity to report the long term outcome in candidates for surgery, regardless of whether they have surgery or not, after having received optimal but unsuccessful nonsurgical treatment. The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: 1) What is the proportion of patients operated upon after referral to surgical evaluation with positive MRI findings, persistent low back pain, and poor outcome following non-operative treatment? 2) What was the outcome in these patients 2 years following referral? 3) Where any baseline variables predictive of good or poor postsurgical outcome? 4) Where there any difference in outcome in patients with or without surgery?
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed general surgery operations. However, to date, the ideal surgical approach for inguinal hernia surgery. The investigators therefore, propose a randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery repair to robotic inguinal hernia repair surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the robotic approach to inguinal hernia repair will result in improved post-operative outcomes compared to traditional laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs. Specific Aim #1: To determine if the robotic approach will result in a significant reduction in postoperative pain and earlier return to full function when compared to a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Specific Aim #2: To perform a cost analysis to determine the financial implications of performing a robotic versus a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Specific Aim #3: To determine the effect of surgeon reported ergonomics when performing laparoscopic versus robotic inguinal hernia repairs. Specific Aim #4: Evaluate the long term hernia recurrence rates associated with laparoscopic versus robotic inguinal hernia repairs.
