Filter by:Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic that is widely used in all medical and surgical fields. Many clinical studies have shown that intravenous (IV) lignocaine given in the perioperative period was safe, reduced airway complications, obtunds cough reflex, reduce sore throat, pain, opioid consumption, nausea, length of hospital stay. Multiple animal studies have shown that IV lignocaine was able to lower anaesthetic gas requirements. Desflurane is an anaesthetic gas that has a rapid onset and offset of action. This study aims to evaluate the effect of IV lignocaine infusion on desflurane requirements. Hypothesis of the study is that IV lignocaine infusion reduces desflurane requirements.
The aim of this current study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of a novel technique which is the 5-5-5-8 where the camera port is 5 mm.
In this new era of less invasive procedures, the indications for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gallbladder drainage (GBD) are rapidly expanding. Nowadays, the standard treatment for uncomplicated cholelithiasis (symptomatic patients not requiring hospital admission or non-surgically managed during one or more hospital admissions) is elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. To avoid the complications, difficulties and disadvantages of cholecystectomy, the investigators proposed a single-center study to determine the safety and effectiveness of EUS-guided GBD with electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, EEUU) with stone removal in patients with cholelithiasis, in comparison with the gold standard treatment, the elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test intracranial blood flow and cerebral oxygenisation changes in patients who have pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure. The main questions aim to answer are: - How does pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure changes blod flow in patients? - Are there any differences between Near-Red spectroscopy and transcranial doppler ultrasonography assesment? Participants will be diagnosed with using NIRS probes and Doppler ultrasonography probes if any changes in surgical procedure. Researchers will compare NIRS and TCD detection outcomes to see if there is any differences.
The study will investigate the efficacy and safety of a new fascial closure device "Nasr Fascial Closure Device" compared to the Karl Storz Berci Fascial Closure Device 26173AM.
this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a basic laparoscopic instrument (Only needle holder) with a new technique for port site closure
The modified laparoscopic transcystic biliary drainage which we developed in the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis has some advantages over conventional techniques. Here, a 7-Fr triple-lumen 30-cm central venous catheter was adopted to replace conventional 5-Fr ureteral catheter, which extended the function of the C-tube. Then we developed a continued suture and circling manner by the V-Loc closure device, which simultaneously covered and anchored the C-tube. Theoretically, this modified laparoscopic transcystic drainage not only provide safe and effective bile duct drainage, but also provide a convenient access of treatment for postoperatively retained bile duct stones, which may expand the indication of initially laparoscopic operation in the management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis.
Upper abdominal pain (UAP) is a common symptom and frequently the reason to visit the hospital. The prevalence of epigastric pain in the Dutch population is estimated to be as high as 37%. Moreover, Dutch hospitals yearly record >100.000 diagnoses related to UAP. In most patients, UAP can be attributed to symptomatic (functional) dyspepsia (FD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or uncomplicated gallstone disease (cholecystolithiasis), with a prevalence in the general population of 20-30%, 20%, and 6-9%, respectively. However, these conditions may have overlapping symptom patterns and generally affect similar populations. which contributes to ineffective (diagnostic) interventions. Patients are generally not aware of the similarity of symptoms and the poor outcome of some treatments. Education positively influences patients' self-management and health judgment. In a recent open-label, multicentre trial the effectiveness of web-based patients' education is applied to reduce overuse of upper gastrointestinal endoscopies in patients with dyspepsia. This study illustrated that an web-based education tool safely reduced 40% in upper gastrointestinal endoscopies. Lifestyle interventions (such as change of diet and/or physical activity) are widely incorporated in treatment programs for cardio-vascular diseases including diabetes mellitus and obesity. An web-based education tool on upper abdominal pain and other complaints combined with a lifestyle interventions for patients may be an effective treatment option for this large group of patients. This study investigates the potential of an individualized web-based education tool as intervention for patients with functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome and uncomplicated symptomatic cholecystolithiasis with the possibility to visit the Prevention and Lifestyle clinic (RELIEF pathway). The RELIEF pathway aims to reduce unnecessary health care utilization and, secondly, to maintain and improve quality of life by educating patients on lifestyle improvement.
To provide preventive and therapeutic strategies for participants with gallstones after gastric cancer by comparing the risk of postoperative gallbladder stone formation with two different resection ranges using the Roux-en-Y reconstruction modality in radical gastric cancer surgery.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) on patient outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
