Filter by:The objective of the trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Cardiva Mid-Bore Venous Vascular Closure System (VVCS) in sealing femoral venous access sites at the completion of catheter-based procedures performed through 6-12 Fr introducer sheath, while allowing for one or more of the following: elimination of the Foley catheter, elimination of protamine, or allowing same (calendar) day discharge for the appropriate patient population.
The aim of the present study is to assess effect of local wound infiltration in comparison with caudal block by bupivacaine 0.25% after inguinal herniotomy in pediatrics on: Wound infection and healing (primary outcome) and postoperative analgesia (secondary outcome).
Aim of study was clinical comparative evaluation of using modified vertical internal mattress suturing technique and simple loop interrupted suturing technique in the outcome of modified Widman flap surgery for the management of chronic periodontitis.
Postoperative pain is an important clinical issue which negatively affects patient's satisfaction, delays discharge and repeated admission after discharge in orthopedic surgery. Peripheral nerve blocks are commonly used for postoperative analgesia as an adjunct to analgesic drugs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of ankle blocks performed at the end of the surgery on postoperative discharge times, postoperativeanalgesia, patient's satisfaction, additional analgesic requirements, and complications in patients undergoing orthopedic foot surgery.
The patients will be randomized into two groups of 100 subjects each one. One arm will be randomized to treatment with a negative topical pressure system (Sistema Prevena ™); while the other arm ("control group") will be randomized to treatment with standard medication with sterile gauzes and a TNT patch or medicated patch as normal traditional medication in use. The medications with a negative topical pressure system (Sistema Prevena ™) will be applied directly in the Operating Room. Thereafter the medication will be checked in the inpatient ward after 48 hours from the intervention, evaluating the possible absorption of exudate on the surface. If no absorption are detected within 48 hours, the medication won't be removed. The medication will be renewed in the 7th day (± 2 days) post-operative; and to follow every 7 (± 2 days) until the points are removed. If the wound continues to progress towards recovery, the protocol will continue until discharge and / or rehabilitation and / or surgery. For each evaluation the photograph of the medication must be taken (which will be deprived of all the identifying elements of the patient).
Laparoscopic total colectomy (LTC) is an accepted surgical procedure for several colonic pathologies. Additionally, specimen extraction through the natural orifices is an emerging method when combined with the totally laparoscopic procedures. Our observations on natural orifice surgery was promising . In our daily surgical practice, investigators prefer the intracorporeal anastomosis and this study was conducted to compare the specimen extraction sites after LTC. Here investigators aimed to compare the results of conventional and natural orifice specimen extractions (NOSE) after totally LTCs.
The purpose of this study is to learn if using a Quadratus Lumborum (QL) plane injection technique (also called a "nerve block") that numbs the nerves going to the abdominal area improve pain control after surgery compared to administration of local anesthetic directly to the surgical incision. The QL block technique uses a numbing solution (local anesthetics) that is injected next to nerves located along muscles in the back to reduce pain. This block will not affect movement in the leg and/or make the legs weak. Some institutions, including Duke, use the QL block for patients having various abdominal surgeries, with the hope of providing good pain relief combined with improved mobility after surgery.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an oxytetracycline impregnated gauze drain on the incidence of alveolar osteitis (AO) and postoperative pain during the first week after mandibular third molar surgery.
Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH) is an accepted surgical procedure for several right sided colonic pathologies. Recently the advantages of the intracorporeal ileotransversostomy over the extracorporeal anastomosis is appearing in the literature. Additionally, specimen extraction through the natural orifices is an emerging method when combined with the totally laparoscopic procedures. Our observations on natural orifice surgery was promising . In our daily surgical practice, investigators prefer the intracorporeal anastomosis and this study was conducted to compare the specimen extraction sites after LRH. Here investigators aimed to compare the results of conventional and natural orifice specimen extractions (NOSE) after totally LRHs.
This study aims to asses whether the rate of surgical wound infections in vascular surgery procedures involving exposure of the proximal femoral artery can be reduced using a different skin closure technique.
