Filter by:There is limited research on the clinical outcome differences between intravenous (IV) acetaminophen versus oral (PO) acetaminophen. With the costs of intravenous acetaminophen sometimes being almost 100 times the cost of PO acetaminophen, it is not only important fiscally but also clinically to differentiate the benefits of IV vs PO acetaminophen. The proposed research study is to determine the clinical advantages of IV vs PO acetaminophen during the post-operative recovery time for ambulatory surgery patients by analyzing differences in time to first opioid delivery, pain scores, and patient satisfaction.

Post operative acute urinary retension or voiding dysfunction are complications after inguinal hernia repair and they cause a great deal of discomfort and stress to patients. Furthermore, they can also increase hospital costs by increasing hospital stay, and by growing the need for outpatient appointments after an elective surgical procedure. Some studies recommend prophylactic alpha blockers to minimizing these adverse effects. Investigators aimed to determine the changes of uroflowmetric values for male patients following elective inguinal hernia repair.
Mesh repair of inguinal hernia is the most common operation performed on general surgical patients. Approximately 20 million groin hernioplasties are performed each year worldwide. Countless studies have been reported in the medical literature in attempts to improve the overall outcomes following hernia operations and, due to this fact, the procedure has evolved immensely, especially over the last few decades. Recurrence of inguinal hernia was initially a significant problem. Lichtenstein repair (LR), recurrence rate has consistently been reported as low as 1-4%[2], a drop from up to 10%. But increased incidence of chronic groin pain following LR. Transinguinal preperitoneal (TIPP) inguinal hernia repair with soft mesh has been reported as a safe anterior approach with a preperitoneal mesh position . Theoretically, TIPP repair may be associated with lesser chronic postoperative pain than Lichtenstein's technique due to the placement of mesh in the preperitoneal space to avoid direct regional nerves dissection and their exposure to bio-reactive synthetic mesh. The placement of mesh in this plane without using any suture for fixation and lack of mesh exposure to regional nerves was assumed to result in the reduced risk of developing chronic groin pain. So aim of our study to prove less hospital stay and complication and cost effectiveness for preperitoneal meshplasty
There are difficulties in the progress of the study and cancel the plan. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the postoperative pain control using non - opioidal analgesics in children. The investigators will investigate the effect of single use and combination of caldorol(ibuprofen) compare to denogan(propacetamol) in children. Participants who receive the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between 6 months and 6 years old are divided 3 groups(caldolor, denogan, combination). Each groups are received a medication by protocol during surgery. After operation patient's pain score and use of additional analgesics are recorded in postanesthesia care unit and general ward.
Post operative urinary retention ( POUR) is caused by sympathetic activation of the internal urethral sphincter after surgery. The smooth muscles of the around the internal urethral sphincter have been demonstrated to be rich in alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Our research idea is novel because there has been no prior prospective study conducted using alpha-blockers to reduce post-operative urinary retention in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. The proposed research is important as existing studies that sought to understand POUR have merely established the risks factors involved. Despite so, the incidence of POUR remains high and no studies to date have investigated the use of specific interventions to reduce the risk of POUR. This is essential as patients who develop POUR have also been successfully shown to have significantly longer length of hospitalisation. Besides, the development of POUR can also cause significant pain/discomfort, increase risks of long-term urethral catheterisation and predispose patients to urinary tract infections
The purpose of this study is to determine if the surgical technique for creation of extraperitoneal space during laparoscopic TEP inguinal hernia repair (telescopic dissection or balloon dissection) has an impact on operative times, early postoperative pain scores, surgical complications and rate of hernia recurrence following laparoscopic TEP inguinal hernia repair.
A multicenter, single-dose study in children 12 to <17 years of age, 6 to <12 years of age, and 2 to <6 years of age who are scheduled for elective open inguinal hernia repair. Enrollment in this study will start with the oldest age group (12 to <17 years) and will continue in a stepwise fashion until appropriate doses are established for all 3 pediatric age groups (12 to <17 years, 6 to <12 years, 2 to <6 years).
Collagen synthesis is depressed systemically in the immediate postoperative period. Arginine, zinc and vitamin C impact collagen synthesis. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a pre and postoperative oral supplement consisting of arginine, zinc and vitamin C on collagen synthesis in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair.
The aim of this study is to evaluate success, efficacy, feasibility and safety of a simple five step ultrasound guided local anesthetic infiltration technique for unilateral open inguinal hernia repair and to determine the non-inferiority of the block to spinal anesthesia by comparing intraoperative and postoperative complications, pain control and patient and surgeon satisfaction of the block with spinal anesthesia.
