Filter by:The cannulation of arteriovenous fistula is a painful procedure in hemodialysis patients. Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of virtual reality in reducing pain during needle-related procedures
The fistula-associated anal adenocarcinoma is rare in patients suffering from anal fistulas. There is only little data available for this patient collective making characterization and management of this disease difficult. Late diagnosis and advanced tumor stage at diagnosis result in poor clinical outcome. It is the purpose of this study to evaluate patients clinically diagnosed with a FAAC and to further perform a histopathological characterization of the available tumor specimen.
This research was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study aiming to determine the impact of virtual reality glasses used in the AVF process on the pain felt by patients and patient satisfaction.
The use of mesenchymal stem cells is considered a novel and promising therapeutic option for patients with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease. However, due to limited clinical data, this multicentre, nationwide study aimed to assess its clinical efficacy in closing complex anal fistula.
After abscess formation, an anal fistula is a common consequence, with crypto-glandular infection being the most commonly accepted causative cause. The goal of this study was to see how well closure of the inter-sphincteric fistula tract affects the outcome of trans-sphincteric fistula surgery. Patients with perianal trans-sphincteric fistulas who underwent ligation were studied prospectively. All patients had the identical anesthetic approach, followed by the operation with two years' follow-up.
Platelet-rich plasma(PRP), is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from whole blood. The main components of it are platelets, leukocytes and fibrin. Autologous PRP treatment can avoid the immune rejection caused by exogenous growth factor and the spread of disease. Evidence of the efficacy and safety of PRP has been proven in many studies. Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) represents a challenging clinical entity characterized by abnormal communication between the bronchial tree and the pleural space. Respiratory intervention has become one of the most common treatments to fight the disease. Although the short-term occlusion effect of conventional treatment methods of respiratory intervention is relatively easy to achieve, there is great uncertainty in the long-term treatment effect, and long-term large fistulas have little chance of healing. PRP has shown significant efficacy for hyperplastic scar of skin. Correspondingly, PRP will be applied as treatment of BPF to cure fistula.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy is one of the commonly performed procedure for periampullary carcinoma/distal cholangio carcinoma/head of pancreas carcinoma. Postoperative pancreatic fistula remains the most important postoperative complication following pancreatic surgery. It's severity ranges from biochemical leak to grade C POPF which can lead to mortality. Radiological and biochemical parameters in early postoperative period predicts the severity of POPF after pancreatoduodenectomy. In this study, we will be evaluating the biochemical parameters and imaging findings as predictors of the severity of postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy in early postoperative period.
Non-pharmacological approaches applied in the prevention of invasive pain due to cannulation in patients treated with arteriovenous fistula and hemodialysis; It is also a cost-effective method that prevents the patient from feeling pain from the application. Breathing exercises are a method that can be easily applied before the cannulation procedure. Although it is seen that there are limited number of studies on the subject in the literature, it was observed that the duration of breathing exercise application was short (two weeks) in one study and the duration was not specified in the other.
This is a prospective observational study of patients undergoing planned surgery for intestinal failure. The aims of the study are: - To prospectively characterise preoperative bacterial populations amongst patients undergoing surgery for intestinal failure - To examine the relationship between preoperative bacteriology and surgical site infection (SSI) in this patient group - To investigate the effect of surgery and surgical site infection on generic and wound specific quality of life measures
Fistula in ano is a chronic problem for the patients. It causes distressing because of foul odor and soiling with recurrent infection and discharge. Recurrence and anal sphincter injury were the most critical complications following surgery. Loose, thick Seton placement was the most promising surgical operation. To reduce the time of Seton placement, therefore, decreasing the suffering of patients from soiling and multiple dressing.
