Surgery induced sterile inflammation leaves behind a biomolecular footprint measurable by various pro-inflammatory markers e.g. IL-6, CD(Cluster of differentiation)19B, HsCRP(High-sensitivity CRP) etc. Music is a non-pharmacological means in attenuating this inflammatory pathway thereby improving Health related quality of life measurable by improved postoperative convalescence. Correct timing of music application is a lacuna in the knowledge. This research aims at evaluating the effect of preoperative music on sterile inflammation induced by index Laparoscopic Surgery (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy) and its proposed beneficial effects on patient reported outcomes. A total of 50 patients divided into 2 groups (test and control) will be evaluated in this triple blind randomized controlled study aiming at evaluating the biomolecular signatures of sterile inflammatory response and its correlation with improved postoperative convalescence. All the patients will be followed up for a period of 1 month postoperatively to assess for overall improvement in health related quality of life. Collected data will be analysed using updated SPSS software and a p value of less than 0.05 will be taken as statistically significant in support of the measured indices.
To prospectively compare non-complex biliary stone clearance using fluoroscopy/radiation-free direct solitary cholangioscopy (DSC) utilizing the SpyGlass™ system with non-complex biliary stone clearance using standard endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC).
This study investigated the effectiveness of a surgeon administered, laparoscopic guided, regional anaesthesia technique.
This study is a prospective, comparative, controlled, blinded study that will enroll a total of 70 adults that will undergo elective laparoendoscopic single-site incision gallbladder removal. The objective of this study is to compare Epidural versus General Anesthesia for postoperative pain, length of hospital stay, outcomes, and cost of post-cholecystectomy patients.
Morbid obesity has become a major global health problem, and the use of bariatric surgery is increasing. One common complication seen following bariatric surgery is the formation of gallstones. Contributing factors to gallstone formation include hypomotility of gall bladder and supersaturation of bile due to rapid weight loss and mobilization of cholesterol. Previous studies revealed oral probiotics could reduce the cholesterol level by as much as 22% to 33%. The possible mechanisms included bile salt hydrolase activity, assimilation of cholesterol by the bacteria, binding of cholesterol to the bacterial cell wall and physiological actions of the end products of short chain fatty acid fermentation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the ability of probiotics to prevent gallstones formation after bariatric surgery and to evaluate the impact of oral administration of probiotics on the post bariatric surgery patients 's quality of life. Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index is a widely accepted questionnaire for evaluating the quality of life for patients receiving bariatric surgery. It consists of five domains: digestive symptoms; physical function; emotional condition; social condition and effect of medical treatment, which could access the quality of life of bariatric patient effectively and completely.
This study aims to compare the overall rate of endoscopic clearance of complicated bile duct stones by Spyglass DS peroral cholangioscopy guided holmium:YAG laser/electrohydraulic lithotripsy versus conventional BML.
Propofol is one of the most commonly used anesthetic agents because of its ability to induce rapid and reliable collection. However, hypotension and injection pain in the induction are the most common complications. After induction of propofol; The cardiovascular system depresses, resulting in a drop in blood pressure due to decreased cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance. This may also contribute to the reduction of sympathetic tone activity in the central way, and slight reduction in the number of pulses that develop as a result of increasing vagal activity. İn order to attenuate these hemodynamic undesired effects caused by propofol, various agents were tried such as atropine, ephedrine, volume replacement ringer lactate, ketamine. Ondansetron and granisetron, which are used for postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis, have been used as such. Therefore, ondansetron and granisetron were preventing hypotension induced by post-spinal and general anesthesia induction. The investigator also tried to demonstrate the effect of granisetron, another serotonin type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist for postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis, on induction hypotension and intubation quality after propofol induction in this study
Investigate serial plasma samples of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) after oral stimulation with chenodeoxycholic acid in the same subjects before and after elective cholecystectomy
The study is designed to assess the awareness of the SAGES Safe Cholecystectomy Program among polish surgeons, as well as the degree of implementation of this Program during laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in Poland. It also gathers the opinion of polish surgeons on usefulness of each of the SAGES Safe Cholecystectomy Rules
