Filter by:Robotic-assisted hysterectomy is an alternative to laparoscopic surgery as part of a minimal invasive regimen. Several treatment strategies are followed to improve the overall outcome and minimize surgical stress. Glucocorticoids provide significant analgesic and antiemetic effects but its role in a fast-track, multi-modal setting is not settled when discharge is planned within 24-36 hours. This study will evaluate in a randomized trial the effect of a single dose of 24 mg dexamethasone on women undergoing robotic-assisted hysterectomy with regard to surgical stress measured by c-reactive protein as primary outcome and, further, other stress markers like white blood cells. The postoperative recovery will be registered in validated charts and questionnaires for pain and analgesic use, quality of recovery, incontinence, sexual and work life. Furthermore, in a sub-analysis, transcriptional profiling will be applied to explore, which parts of the innate and cellular immune system is activated to explore the mechanisms of surgical stress response. The hypothesis is that women undergoing robotic hysterectomy would benefit from peroperative glucocorticoid treatment on important life qualities like pain, fatigue, freedom of medications and resuming work and sexual activities. Further, future adjuvant peroperative regimens may be able to target the stress response in a more appropriate way
The purpose of this trial is to determine whether oral acetaminophen and intravenous ketorolac are viable alternatives to opioid medication regimens for the pain management of patients with tibial and femoral shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing. This study will explore an alternative for opioid medications for patients undergoing intramedullary nailing of tibial and femoral shaft fractures.
Laparoscopic surgery is frequently used today for abdominal region operations. Laparoscopy has become the preferred treatment for cholecystectomy. Patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy suffer from acute postoperative pain despite the multimodal analgesic regimen. For this type of surgery, many different field blocks have been used for postoperative analgesia.
One hundred and twenty patients at age range from 18 to 60 undergoing laparotomy was enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups 60 in epidural group and the other 60 patients in rectus catheter group. epidural catheter inserted pre induction but rectus sheath catheter inserted by the surgeon at the end of surgery.
The lidocaine patch is currently only permitted for post herpetic neuralgia but the investigators want to study its effectiveness in post operative pain after inguinal herniorrhaphy
A single blinded randomized controlled trial. 212 subjects (teeth), 106 in each of the 2 groups will be recruited from the patients referred to Kuwait Board of Endodontics for primary root canal treatment. The aim is to compare the outcome of sealer-based obturation (SBO) with calcium silicate sealer versus warm vertical compaction (WVC) and resin based sealer. Preoperative PA radiograph and CBCT will be taken. A 1 year follow up period will be arranged and another PA radiograph and CBCT will be taken. The preoperative, postoperative and review clinical and radiographic data will be analyzed
Pain after laparoscopy differs considerably from that seen after laparotomy. Laparotomy results mainly in parietal pain (abdominal wall), where as Pain in laparoscopy results from stretching of the intra-abdominal cavity, peritoneal inflammation, and diaphragmatic irritation caused by residual carbon-dioxide in the peritoneal cavity. The transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block is a peripheral nerve block designed to anesthetize the nerves supplying the anterior abdominal wall (T6 to L1). While esmolol is an ultra-short acting intravenous β-blocker having a rapid onset and offset effect. It provides an unprecedented level of tolerability and safety in the perioperative setting. When used as an adjunct, it has been shown to improve the postoperative recovery by reducing postoperative pain intensity and intraoperative anesthetic and opioid requirements and preventing opioid-induced hyperalgesia . The mechanism of this synergistic effect is uncertain, but both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics interactions with anesthetic drugs have been proposed.
This research study is being done to determine the optimal dose of spinal morphine and hydromorphone in patients undergoing minimally-invasive (i.e., surgery performed through small entry sites and using cameras) colorectal surgery.
This randomized clinical trial compares the effects of the erector spinae plane block with levobupivacaine and 0,9% saline on postoperative pain intensity, and opioid consumptions following thoracoscopic pulmonary surgery.
The Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is an adequate alternative for pain management after video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery (VATS). The incidence of postoperative chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) and the quality of life (QoL) in patients with ESPB after VATS remain unknown. We hypothesised that patients with ESPB would have a low incidence of acute and CNP and would report a good QoL up to three months after VATS.
