Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to compare the changes of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) at different time points in rectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic or transanal endoscopic radical resection. Our secondary purpose is to explore the effects of perioperative circulating tumor cells on tumor recurrence and metastasis.
Laparoscopic contralateral patent processus vaginalis (CPPV) repair in infancy and childhood is still debatable, due to the high CPPV rate but low contralateral metachronous hernia (MCIH) rate. In order to found risk factors for MH, we conducted this prospective study. This is an multi-center investigator-initiated observational prospective trial. After informed all the benefits and risks of repair CPPV simultaneously, those patients with unilateral inguinal hernia whose parents preferred not to repair CPPV simultaneously will be assigned in the study. All information about demographic data, hernia side, CPPV type and CPPV diameter will be recorded. The subjects will be followed up until MCIH developing or to 24 months postoperatively. Patients will be analyzed to identify the risk factors for MH.
This is a randomized, controlled, parallel, multicenter trial to compare post-operative complications and long-term results between open and laparoscopic technique in emergency colorectal surgery.
Radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection (+/- aortic lymph node dissection) is the standard treatment for early stage cervical cancer. And minimally invasive surgery has been successfully and safely demonstrated in the treatment of early stage cervical cancer. This study aims to compare total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and total abdominal radical hysterectomy in terms of disease-free survival and overall survival. Rates and characteristics of recurrence, incidence of complications and morbidity, impact on quality of life and cost-effectiveness will also be determined.
The microcirculation represents the primary site of exchange of oxygen and nutrients for tissues, and the preservation of microcirculatory perfusion is essential for the maintenance of organ function. The microcirculation is extremely dynamic and may vary according to the individual's temperature, systemic blood pressure, the use of medications, during physical and mental activity, age and pathological processes. In this context, the development of portable microscopes for clinical use has made possible the non-invasive visualization of the microcirculation and tissue perfusion in patients undergoing several highly complex procedures in cardiology, including cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) and in critically ill patients in intensive care. CytoCam, for example, is a handheld device that incorporates a darkfield incident light illumination system with a series of high-resolution lenses that project images to a computer dedicated to the system. Dexmedetomidine is a selective agonist of 2-adrenergic receptors in the central nervous system, whose administration results in a reduction in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and a reduction in the systemic release of catecholamines. Its use in the perioperative period has several beneficial effects, such as reducing neuroendocrine and hemodynamic responses due to anesthesia and surgery, through induction of sedation and analgesia, in addition to reducing the consumption of opioids and anesthetics in general. Several recent studies report that the use of dexmedetomidine in the perioperative period reduces the incidence of postoperative complications, reduces the time on mechanical ventilation and attenuates the neuroendocrine response due to surgical trauma and extracorporeal circulation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, the effects of dexmedetomidine on systemic microcirculation function during its use in anesthesia for elective surgical procedures of medium complexity are not yet known. In conclusion, the hypothesis of the present study is that continuous intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine during balanced general anesthesia increases the microvascular perfusion flow rate in the sublingual mucosa, representing an increase in systemic microvascular perfusion.
Laparoscopic resection of the pancreas has become widely accepted in the treatment of lesions which are benign or of low-grade malignancy. The objective of this study is to analyze the factors that predict postoperative complications and hospital readmission in a series of laparoscopic pancreatectomies.
The investigators have recently shown that pain associated with peripheral venous cannulation can be used to predict the risk of postoperative pain, where patients grading their pain associated with venous cannulation (VCP) above 2.0 VAS units had 3.4 times higher risk of moderate or severe postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 1.7 times higher risk in a mixed group of patients and surgeries. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pain sensitivity measurements using VCP can be used to choose anesthesia treatment protocol with the aim to lower acute postoperative pain in those with high risk. In patients with low risk we aim to lower the amount of opioids given.
Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has prolonged the survival substantially for selected patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer.Bleeding and thromboembolic disease have been reported as postoperative complications related to this advanced open surgical treatment. However, perioperative changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis are only sparsely reported in the literature.The mainstay of treatment with curative intend of none-advanced colorectal cancer is minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The approach is considered associated with a lower risk of thromboembolic disease than open surgery. Despite differences in extent of surgery and thromboembolic risk the same extended thromboprophylaxis regimen for 28 days is currently prescribed to patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC as well as minimally invasive rectal cancer resection. This study aims to investigate all parts of the coagulation system and fibrinolysis, and thereby thromboembolic risk and potential bleeding in two groups of patients with different extent of surgical trauma: 1) Colorectal cancer patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC and 2) rectal cancer patients undergoing minimal invasive rectal cancer resection. Our hypothesis is that patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC are exposed to more aggravated alterations of coagulation and fibrinolysis than patients undergoing minimally invasive rectal cancer resection.
Find out the deciding factor(total body weight, corrected body weight, ideal body weight, fat-free mass, body mass index, skeletal muscle mass, body fat) of neuromuscular blocker dose for deep neuromuscular blockade.
The aim of this study is to assess the need and potential benefits of the wide field of view during general and gynecology laparoscopic surgery.
