Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of residual curarization in PACU and relevant risk factors.
There is growing evidence that the risk of postoperative complications can be decreased by optimizing the amount and type of infusion fluids given during surgery, steered by goal-directed therapy based on flow-related hemodynamic parameters, particularly in high-risk patients. This study is undertaken subsequently to test the hypothesis that the intraoperative goal-directed strategy based on FloTrac/Vigileo, a minimally invasive monitor, can partially prevented postoperative complications and shorten hospital stay in the elderly high-risk patients undergoing total hip replacement with continuous spinal anaesthesia .
This study is to determine what dressing would work best to heal and keep from hurting, the split-thickness skin graft donor site which will be done as part of the patient's surgical procedure. Currently there is a dressing that is transparent and it is placed on the wound after surgery and wrapped with gauze and an elastic bandage. Two days after the surgery the gauze and elastic bandages are removed and the area is left with the transparent dressing. Sometimes the dressing needs to be changed because it leaks. On the fifth day this dressing is removed and the wound is left open to air. The dressing researchers are studying is a dressing that has been used for different types of wounds, as well as this type of wound. It is applied in the same manner; however, it is left in place until it falls off independently, usually around post-operative (post-op) day 10.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different methods of radiation and their side effects and comparing how well they work in treating endometrial and cervical cancer after surgery.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if a negative-pressure dressing placed over a surgical incision can reduce the risk of developing a surgical site infection compared to a commonly-used sterile gauze incision dressing. In this study, the negative-pressure dressing will be compared to a standard post-surgical sterile gauze dressing. In this study patients will either receive a negative-pressure dressing or a standard sterile gauze dressing
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of an alternative surgical technique and the use of fibrin sealant in preventing post-operative seroma formation. A seroma is a build-up of clear bodily fluids in a place on the body where tissue has been removed by surgery. Seromas can happen after breast surgeries. Seromas can appear about 7 to 10 days after surgery, after the drainage tubes have been removed. The breast area involved in the surgery may have a spot that's swollen and feels like there is liquid under the skin
Using partially absorbed meshes in pelvic reconstructive surgery will involve fewer postoperative complications especially less pain caused by the mesh mass.
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.
This randomized phase III trial studies robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) with pelvic drain placement to see how well it works compared to RALP without pelvic drain replacement in reducing adverse events after surgery in patients with prostate cancer.
This study examines performing pilonidal sinus surgery minimal invasively with videoendoscopic approach.
