Filter by:The Study Objective: To evaluate the clinical utility of a 3D model with 2D CT/MRI scans during simulated preoperative surgical planning of open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted anatomic lung resection (segmentectomy, lobectomy) or Lower Anterior Resection (LAR) procedures.
This prospective study aims to assess the efficacy of the OviTex 1S permanent mesh in pelvic floor surgery in comparison with the current standard polypropylene mesh.
Low health literacy patients are a vulnerable population at high-risk for surgical disparities including longer hospital stays, more complications, and more readmissions. This study will adapt enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) to low health literacy patients with a multilevel, health literacy-based implementation strategy (called VISACT - VISuAl aids, Coach providers in communication, and Train organizations in health literacy) to improve ERP fidelity and thereby outcomes. In the final aim of this project (Specific Aim 3), the VISACT intervention will be tested in a pilot trial. Findings from this study will lay the foundation for a multi-institutional stepped-wedge trial and establish key principles for adapting interventions to eliminate disparities.
This study aims to develop a highly sensitive, specific, and cost-effective blood assay for early detection of colorectal adenomas and cancer, using advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art biological analyses.
PASSAGE is a national multicenter retrospective and prospective observational cohort study in which patients who will undergo colorectal surgery will be enrolled.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of closure in patients with ostomies that are ready for closure. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Surgical site infection rates 2. Patient quality of life 3. Time to wound healing Participants will undergo either complete ostomy wound closure after washing out the wound with Prontosan, or their ostomy wound will be closed using the Pursestring method, where the wound will be left partially open and allowed to heal from the inside out. Researchers will compare these two groups' outcomes (questions to be answered) as listed above.
The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are multimodal perioperative care pathways designed to achieve early recovery after surgical procedures by maintaining preoperative organ function and reducing the profound stress response following surgery. This type of approach has led to an earlier hospital discharge of patients with a low rate of postoperative complications. Purpose: the aim of this study is to evaluate an ERAS protocol with fist-day hospital discharge and domiciliary follow-up for minimal invasive colectomy. Method: unicenter pilot study of patients with indication of minimally invasive right colectomy or sigmidectomy who will follow an ERAS protocol according to international guidelines and will be discharged the first day of surgery with a domiciliary follow-up. Hospital readmission is considered as the primary outcome. A total sample of 40 cases is considered, with 20 right colectomies and 20 sigmoidectomies. An independent analysis of both techniques will be performed.
Observational cohort study of adult patients undergoing colorectal surgery at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital in Addis Abeba for 3 months.
The aim of this single-center retrospective cohort study is to explore the effect of late adaptation of an ERAS protocol in a high-volume colorectal surgical unit. The primary endpoint is the surgical outcome measured by early postoperative complications, defined by the comprehensive complications index. Secondary endpoints include amongst others LOS (length of stay), cost analysis, short-term follow-up in the ERAS group.
A short bolus infusion of fluid, called "fluid challenge" is commonly recommended for fluid treatment during longer surgery. However a prolonged increase of the blood volume is a prerequisite to recommend the technique. The purpose with the study is to examine the plasma expanding effect of three different fluid challenge strategies (acetated Ringers 4 ml/kg body weight, albumin 5% 4 ml/kg body weight or albumin 20% 1 ml/kg body weight), using hemoglobin as a dilution indicator.
