Filter by:A randomized prospective simple-blind interventional study evaluating the efficacy of the synthetic adhesive solution "Ifabond", in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. The main objective of this study is to determine if the application of Ifabond, in addition to the conventional method of breast surgery, reduces the postoperative seroma formation. The secondary objective is to assess quality of life immediately after surgery, and the need for needle aspiration of the axilla, when using Ifabond.
To compare the incidence of lymphocele and lymphatic ascites between patient who use versus who do not use FloSeal during lymph node dissection
This study is being performed to investigate if the application of Arista absorbable hemostat (AH)®, a product approved to stop surgical bleeding, can prevent lymphoceles. Lymphoceles are collections of lymphatic fluid which can occur after a lymph node dissection for cancer. These fluid collections can become symptomatic in some patients. Arista would be applied to one side of the pelvis after a pelvic lymph node dissection, to see if this decreases the number of postoperative lymph fluid collections seen on a computed tomography (CT) scan after surgery
Globally there have been about 45,000 kidney transplants last year. Currently, the overall survival of renal transplant receptors is 95% in the first year and 85% at 5 years. A major challenge to overcome by the renal transplant surgeons, are surgical complications which may impact on patient morbidity and mortality, as well as graft function. The aim of the study is to assess whether application of fibrin seal prevents postoperative complications in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Controlled clinical trial with single-blind evaluation in patients surgically intervened kidney transplantation. It will include all patients undergoing renal transplantation in this Medical Center, any gender and over than 16 years and under 60 years.
The principal morbidity following axillary node dissection within the scope of breast cancer surgery is the post-operative development of lymphocele. According to the literature, incidence can vary from 4 to 89% depending on the type of surgery, whether or not a drain is inserted or a compression dressing applied and the time at which the drain is removed… In our experience, the incidence is 40% [IGR (Gustave Roussy Institute) data focusing on 70 patients between November 2008 and February 2009] Encouraging results in terms of reducing postoperative lymphoceles as well as drainage duration and volume using Octreotide have been recorded in two recent studies. A new molecule developed by Novartis Laboratories, namely pasireotide, is a somatostatin analog possessing strong affinity for several somatostatin receptors (30 to 40 times greater for sst1 and sst5, 5 times greater for sst3 and equivalent for sst2) The purpose of this trial is to assess the efficacy of a pre-surgical injection of pasireotide LAR in reducing the postoperative incidence of symptomatic lymphoceles following axillary node dissection. The secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of prolonged release pasireotide on the duration of postoperative drainage, the daily drainage volume, the total drainage volume, the number of repeated lymphocele aspirations and the volume, the total volume of lymph aspirated, the incidence of postoperative febrile episodes, the length of hospital stay, and the length of time to onset of adjuvant chemotherapy. It is also to assess the safety of prolonged release pasireotide. The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of a preoperative prolonged release pasireotide injection in the reduction in the incidence of symptomatic, postoperative axillary lymphoceles following mastectomy-axillary node dissection.
A single centre open randomised parallel-group study to evaluate whether prophylactic fenestration of the peritoneum at the time of renal transplantation prevents lymphocele formation. Adult (>18 years old) recipients of renal transplants from deceased donors were eligible for inclusion. From March 2007 to May 2009 130 patients were included. The patients were randomized either to peroperative peritoneal fenestration, or to serve as controls. Block-randomization was conducted in groups of 10, drawn from envelopes containing five notes from each group. Patients who previously had undergone extensive abdominal surgery, or were included in other studies were excluded.
Injection the day before surgery of 90 mg of Lanreotide LP sub-cutaneously or placebo. Evaluation of the lymphorrhea in the 2 arms of the study
