Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the post-surgical standard-of-care dressing to the Prevena™ Incision Management System in women undergoing Cesarean section surgery.
Evaluation of capillary glycaemia and lactataemia measurements for pedicle impairments diagnosis in free tissue transfers is realized. These measures are done after surgical reconstructions with free tissue flap, simultaneously with clinical examination. These biological data aren't available to make clinical diagnosis of complication; only clinical examination is allowed in this way. A posteriori, clinical and biological parameters will be compared in order to determine if capillary glycaemia and lactataemia measurements is a good procedure for free tissue flaps monitoring.
In moderate to high risk patients, cardiovascular complications after surgery account for almost 60% of death after surgery. This study will randomize 140 patients into routine postop care with Holter monitoring versus routine postop care + remote ST monitoring + Holter monitoring. The response time to electrocardiographic (ECG) ST changes as well as the total ischemia time will be studied.
We hypothesise that pain at minilaparoscopy for gynecologic disease is reduced when transvaginal rather than transumbilical specimen extraction is accomplished. This would be due to the avoidance of a 10-mm port in the umbilicus. Visual analogue scale score of post-operative pain will be obtained and patients satisfaction will be asked at the 2-month postoperative visit.
Surgery for cancer of the esophagus is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications. It has been shown that the risk of postoperative complications can be decreased by optimising the amount and type of infusion fluids given during surgery, steered by measurement of cardiac stroke volume, mostly done with a device called esophageal Doppler. This device can however not be used during this type of surgery. This study wants to test the hypothesis that postoperative complications in patients operated for esophageal cancer can be partially prevented by using a goal directed strategy for the administration of fluids and drugs influencing the heart and vessels, based on measurement of stroke volume by pulse wave analysis (FloTrac).
This phase II trial studies bioimpedance spectroscopy in detecting lower-extremity lymphedema in patients with stage I, stage II, stage III, or stage IV vulvar cancer undergoing surgery and lymphadenectomy. Diagnostic procedures, such as bioimpedance spectroscopy, may help doctors to predict the onset of lower-extremity lymphedema in patients with vulvar cancer undergoing surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Hemoglobin A1c values previous to a surgery in patients with diabetes type II and the complication incidence in immediate post surgery.
Prospective trial comparing post-operative complications and seroma formation after mastectomy in patients with breast cancer, using conventional electric scalpel and harmonic scalpel.
The purpose of this study is to assess the roll of pre-operative chest physiotherapy, in addition to the usual care given after major abdominal surgery, in the prevention of post-operative respiratory complications.
The purpose of this study is to assess patient satisfaction with the Titan one touch release penis prosthesis and to register complications with this prosthesis. This will regard the first prostheses inserted at Herlev Hospital/Frederikssund Hospital. Patient satisfaction will be assessed by mailing out the "Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) Questionnaire" and recording the patient answers. The most important question will be "Overall how satisfied are you with penile prosthesis?". Complications (including infection, bleeding, and mechanical failure) will be assessed by a patient chart review and confirmed by a brief phone interview.
