Filter by:ABSTRACT Background: Although there are some comparative studies between laparoscopy and hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy (HALS) in splenomegaly cases, there is no study of the differences between HALS and open splenectomy (OS). Our aim was to compare the HALS and OS techniques in splenomegaly cases. Methods: This prospective study included 27 patients undergoing splenectomy for splenic disorders at the Department of General Surgery, Istanbul Medical Faculty between February 2007 and October 2007. OS was performed on 14 patients, and HALS was performed in the other 13 patients. Key words: HALS, open splenectomy, splenomegaly
The primary objective is to demonstrate that SKY0402 is superior when compared to bupivacaine HCl in the management of postoperative pain for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Fast awakening from anesthesia is one of the major characteristics of remifentanil-associated anesthetic induction and maintenance, whereas corresponding pain during awakening influences patient's rehabilitation strongly. In addition, such early postoperative pain results in significant stress responses, which displays as further release of stress hormones such as cortisol and β-endorphin as well. How to prevent such acute pain resulting from remifentanil's fast metabolism endows clinical significance. This study is designed to compare the analgesic efficacy of fentanyl, sufentanil and butorphanol delivered after gynecological laparoscopic surgeries that underwent remifentanil induction and maintenance, and investigate corresponding influence on the levels of blood cortisol and β-endorphin.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNS013 with single oral dose administration in participants with pain after tooth-extraction of mandibular impacted wisdom tooth.
The effects of none-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors (Coxibs) on the formation of bone and fracture healing have been a matter of debate since long. There is, however, limited data in humans and further prospective randomised studies are warranted. Ekman et al studied in a prospective randomised double blind study the effects of celecoxib, a selective cox-II-inhibitor, on pain and bone healing following spine surgery. They found significant effects on reduction of pain and need for opioid analgesics postoperatively but could see no negative effects the numbers of "none-unions" at a 1-year follow up 3. In a similar prospective randomised double-blind study design significant effects in reduction of pain and need for rescue analgesia was seen from the use of celecoxib in the perioperative multi-modal pain strategy for cruciate-ligament reconstruction and no negative effects could bee seen on six month follow-up of the strength of the reconstructed ligament. The aim of the present study is to further study the effects of the perioperative use of etoricoxib, a selective cox-II-inhibitor (Coxibs), in a prospective randomised double-blind study on bone healing, pain and need for rescue analgesia in patients undergoing elective Hallux Valgus surgery with a standardised surgical technique including an osteotomy of metatarsale I and excision of exostosis. Study population 100 American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physiological status1-2 patients scheduled for elective hallux valgus (HV) surgery The patients are going to be randomised into 2 groups, 50 patients in each; 1. etoricoxib 90 mg once daily x 5 2. tramadol 100 mg twice daily x 5 First line rescue medication t. paracetamol 1 gr up to 4 gram daily Second line rescue t. oxycodone 10 mg Primary study variables: - X-ray evaluation (computer tomography (CT)-investigation) of bone healing assessed a CT-scan modelling of the osteotomy at twelve weeks after surgery - Number of patients requiring rescue medication - Patient assessment using "brief pain inventory" 24 hours and 2 weeks after surgery Secondary study variables are; - Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) grading Day 1-7 - Compliance to base medication - Need for rescue analgesia Day 1-7 - Adverse Effects - Experience of any emetic symptoms - Experience of any gastrointestinal symptoms - Satisfaction with pain medication Day 20 - Wound dressing Day 20 - Clinical evaluation 17 weeks, final assessment
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of lidocaine/epinephrine test dose administration on the PK profile of a single epidural dose of DepoDur (extended-release epidural morphine) in patients undergoing major upper abdominal surgery. A secondary objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy profile.
Blinded study using oral gabapentin in load pre-operative (15mg/kg) and maintenance 5mg/kg three times a day (TID) for 5 days or discharge, Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) morphine and placebo group with similar pills, also PCA morphine. The goal is to measure morphine usage and incidence of morphine side effects (pruritis, days foley, days to first stool, sedation, pain scores, PCA use).
Uterine contraction pain is a common problem after abortion. Optimal analgesic for such suffering is still needed to be guaranteed. Flurbiprofen Axetil is a target-distributable non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) functioning via block the synthesis of prostaglandin E (PGE). The investigators hypothesized that Flurbiprofen Axetil could suppress the uterine contraction pain after abortion effectively.
Sensory function is different in persistent postherniotomy pain patients than in operated controls, suggesting this to be a neuropathic pain syndrome. By performing quantitative sensory testing, the specific changes in pain patients will be revealed, thereby aiding in designing future treatment trials. MRI scans of the groin regions in pain patients and control patients will be evaluated by senior MRI specialists assessing potential pathology to the region (Mesh, inflammation, edema, funicle etc.) Assessors will be blinded to clinical status, and surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare clinical post-operative outcomes for patients using active cooling and compression device and those using ice bags and elastic wrap after acromioplasty or arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
