Filter by:Metabolic surgery has proven to be an effective treatment for obesity, with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy being the most popular procedure. Omentopexy (OP) is proposed as a strategy to reduce associated complications. Objective was to determine the effectiveness of omentopexy in controlling post-surgical symptoms and to measure the need for re-intervention, leakage, bleeding, and mortality in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
The goal of this prospective study is to investigate the satisfaction, NASA-Task Load Index (TLX), and surgical proficiency of a robotic breast surgery education program using cadaver or porcine models, as well as to develop an AI-based surgical guide for utilization within the educational program in trainees for robotic breast surgery. The main question[s]it aims to evaluate : - Satisfaction questionnaire of a educational program - NASA-TLX of a educational program - global evaluative assessment of robotic skills (GEARS) of a robotic breast surgery for surgical proficiency Participants will participate the educational program and fill out a satisfaction questionnaire and NASA-TLX. The tutor evaluates GEARS for 15 minutes at the beginning and end of training. After the development of the surgical guide based on AI, researchers will compare a training group with or without surgical guide to see the effect of the surgical guide.
This study retrospectively evaluated the effect of two different lateral window preparation techniques on peri-implant bone augmentation for patients who underwent lateral sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement using two-dimensional and three-dimensional radiographic results, with special emphasis placed on the stability of the graft material after surgery.
This is a prospective cohort study to assess the feasibility of the laparoscopic ultrasound examination, directly by surgeons, during minimally invasive gynaecological surgery. The secondary aims are to examine the learning curve for laparoscopic ultrasound examination and the performance score in obtaining high quality ultrasound images of anatomical parameters by a team of 5 gynecological laparoscopic fellows. The patients' medical history and symptoms will also be recorded to define whether these clinical data can influence the failure rate. With advanced technology, the conventional workflow can be simplified by using laparoscopic ultrasound probes directly by surgeons, to utilize the hospital resources efficiently and to reduce operating times. In this regard, we would like to demonstrate that the application of laparoscopic examination is feasible and easy to learn by surgeons. This innovative technique could open up multiple diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities for the patient, providing potential clinical information useful to the surgeon.
Growing evidence in literature is supporting the role of ultrasound scan (US) as accurate tool in diagnosis and staging of gynecologic cancers. In particular, different studies demonstrated the accuracy of US in assessing endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer in the primary setting. However, the number of studies investigating the role of US in the recurrent setting is limited. Moreover, there is no evidence in literature exploring the role of US in laterally-extended pelvic recurrences from gynecologic cancer, where the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan is still considered the most accurate tool.
This study is designed to examine the impact of a personalized, body worn alcohol dispenser on the epidemiology of ESKAPE transmission in the anesthesia work area for patients undergoing surgery requiring general anesthesia.
This study is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel series randomized trial aimed at verifying the effiicacy and safety of a local calcium-sulphate bio-absorbable antibiotic delivery (tobramicina+vancomicina) versus placebo (calcium-sulphate matrix without antibiotics) in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis treated with surgical procedures.
The goal of this clinical trial is to identify those situations in which the increase of lactate levels is not clinically relevant since it is associated with altered genetic polymorphism of the genes involved in the membrane proteins acting as carriers for lactate (mainly monocarboxylate transporters, MCTs) patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there a relationship between the lactate levels in the immediate post-operative period and the presence of some lactate receptor polymorphisms? 2. Can hyperlactacidemia related to lactate receptor polymorphisms affect length of stay in the recovery room and/or in intensive care unit, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications? - Which are the risk factors for hyperlactacidemia in the immediate post-operative period in addition to the presence of lactate receptors polymorphisms? Participants will undergo pre-operative genomic assay testing.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) Islamabad after approval from the Institutional ethics review board. Fifty-four surgical residents in training and who have completed at least 3 months of surgical training were enrolled in the study. After the residents had performed the procedure initially, 27 were made to watch the procedural videos and learn the steps of the procedure while those of the other group did not watch the videos. Participants of both the groups were made to perform the procedure. GARS (global assessment rating score) was calculated for each individual during their second procedure. All procedures were performed under the supervision of a consultant surgeon who was blinded about the groups and make assessment of the GARS (global assessment rating score).
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the use of a laxative before surgery in women having surgery to fix pelvic prolapse that do not have constipation. The main question it aims to answer is: Does use of a laxative before surgery lessen the discomfort of bowel movements after surgery? Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires before and after surgery. Researchers will compare using the laxative before and after surgery versus only after surgery to see if there is less discomfort with bowel movements after surgery.
