Filter by:Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a major source of morbidity and mortality after pancreatic resection, especially after distal pancreatectomy (PD). Today, POPF remains one of the main causes of hospital length of stay and healthcare costs. Numerous surgical techniques have been tested to reduce its incidence without success, so the current standard for the management of POPF, and the avoidance of associated complications, is intraoperative drain placement. However, surgically placed drains are not without risk. In recent years many studies, mostly retrospective, have attempted to determine whether omission of prophylactic drainage is associated with increased morbidity. These studies suggest that patients may benefit from not having a drain placed. This evidence challenges standard practice and the debate of whether or not to place a drain after distal pancreatectomy remains open. The investigators designed a prospective multicentre randomised non-inferiority study to determine whether prophylactic intraoperative drainage is associated with a lower morbidity rate after distal pancreatectomy.
Classically, in the postoperative period of liver transplantation (LT), abdominal drainage has been used as a way to make the early diagnosis of hemorrhages, bile leaks and other postsurgical complications, as well as an evacuation route for ascites. The use of it routinely is currently under discussion due to the morbidities associated with its use.
Investigators want to assess the safety and efficacy of using abdominal drainage with not using any drainage, by estimating different outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for different reasons. Patients are seen at the Accident and Emergency Department or in the surgical wards at Aleppo University Hospital (AUH) over 12 months period.
This study evaluates the viability and safety of no drainage tube placement during transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach in treatment of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.
This study evaluates the viability and safety of two-lumen catheterization versus complete omission of chest tube in patients with lung wedge resection. Half of participants will receive complete omission of chest tube, while the other half will receive a two-lumen central venous catheterization along the midclavicular line, second intercostal space for remedial gas-remove.
Evacuation of pleural effusion (PE) represents a disputable therapy in mechanically ventilated patients. Patients on mechanical ventilation indicated by the physician to pleural fluid evacuation will be monitored throughout the procedure by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and concurrently end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) will be measured in order to describe impact of PE evacuation on aeration and ventilation of the lungs.
The aim of this randomized prospective multicenter study is to demonstrate the hypothesis that early removal of drain could reduce the incidence of major complications (grade 2-4) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) , when compared with later removal of drain.
Patients may evolve pseudocysts of the pancreas secondary to a severe pancreatitis. In case of a symptomatic or infected pseudocyst, a therapeutic drainage of the cyst is indicated. In modern medicine the preferred way to perform such a drainage is by the means of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). It is not precisely elucidated how this EUS-procedure should be performed in different scenarios. The cyst appearance and the drainage stents and/or technique may impact the clinical outcome. This study is a prospective, single-center observational study on the outcome after EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts.
After Axillary lymphadenectomy for breast cancer there are not few patients showed seroma formation and it can not be ignored.Investigators aimed to study two new methods of application of Microfibrillar Collagen Hemostat Flour and OK-432 to reduce seroma formation and to verify the efficacy and safety of these two applications.Try to prove them as beneficial supplements for axillary lymphadenectomy of breast cancer.
