Filter by:The aims of this study are to: - Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) survival of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). - Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) complication rate of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). - Analyze the intensity of pain perceived by the patient with each cannulation technique under study.
The surgical technique of Musset has shown its effectiveness for the cure of recto-vaginal fistulas. Recto-vaginal fistulas are mostly post-obstetric (88%). The objective of this study is to investigate the outcome of patients who underwent a Musset surgical technique, as well as their postoperative functional and anatomical results at a distance from the procedure.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of using Ossium vertebral Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (vBM-MSC) to treat people with an ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) who develop a fistula in the setting of Crohn's disease of the pouch.
The arteriovenous fistula creation (AVF creation) surgery is essential among patients with end stage renal disease who require hemodialysis. The fistula usually locates at forearm, and is created by connecting artery and vein through surgery. Patients undergone hemodialysis through the fistula six weeks later if fistula becoming mature, which means patent vessel diameter and enough flow for hemodialysis. The primary failure rate of arteriovenous fistula creation is about 20% to 40% according to previous research data. Thrombosis is the most common cause of fistula failure, which require surgical intervention after arteriovenous fistula surgery. Anesthetic technique influences surgical outcome of arteriovenous fistula. General anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and local anesthesia are both wide-used methods. Regional anesthesia with nerve block remains the most popular method for arteriovenous fistula creation. The vessel dilation effect of regional anesthesia helps not only dilatation of artery and vein, but also the fistula itself, and promotes the successful functional dialysis. Various type of nerve block are used as anesthetic method for AVF creation surgery. People requiring hemodialysis usually have multiple underlying disease involving other major organ such as heart, lung, liver, and the endocrine system. They are more vulnerable to systemic intravenous anesthetic medication. The metabolic rate and pharmacodynamics of local anesthetic may also alter due to multiple systemic disease when compared with healthy adults. The optimal concentration of lidocaine for AVF creation when using axillary block has not yet been studied. This research is conducted for dosing response of different concentration of lidocaine when using axillary block for AVF creation surgery. We aim to investigate the optimal low effective concentration, the MEC90, which defined as 90% of patients can tolerate the operation at this concentration.
The use of synthetic mesh to repair infected defects of the abdominal wall remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of using PVDF mesh to treat infected abdominal wall defects in the elective setting.
To investigate the associated risk factors of rectovaginal fistula
The purpose of this retrospective chart-review registry study is to evaluate the safety profile, efficacy profile and cost-effectiveness of the various therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedures (for benign and malignant gastrointestinal disorders). 1. To assess the clinical and technical success rates of EUS-Guided interventions 2. To document the impact of therapeutic EUS procedures on the management of gastrointestinal disorders including malignancies through cost effective analyses. 3. Compare endoscopic interventions to non-endoscopic interventions for the same clinical indications and evaluate safety and efficacy.
Patients with high horseshoe anal fistula will be randomized to one of two equal group: treatment group will have decompression and drainage seton and control group will undergo cutting seton.
Currently, there is limited multi-center data on endoscopic surgery outcomes in western populations. Evaluation of these measurement would help the investigators compare them to conventional treatment modalities within current tertiary facilities; and consequently help the investigators identify appropriate treatment techniques and improve clinical management of patients at Rutgers RWJMS. The purpose of this retrospective registry study is to assess long term data on efficacy, safety and clinical outcome of Endoscopic Surgery within the gastrointestinal tract.
Objectives: Primary: To demonstrate the safety of allogeneic UC-MSCs administered by injection for complex perianal fistulas in patients with Crohn's disease Secondary: To determine the efficacy of a single/multiple allogeneic UC-MSCs injection in improving complex perianal fistula complications and (re-epithelialization of the external openings).
