Filter by:The intended pilot project aims at evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of questionnaires about resilience and quality of life in two different patient groups (either with a gynaecological carcinoma ora chronic gynaecological disease). The results provided by this pilot study will build the basis of an upcoming, larger project including these questionnaires and the main objective of assessing resilience. More precisely, the study aims at answering the following questions. How is the overall resilience and quality of life in the target population at one assessment point? Are the instruments used in this pilot feasible for the target population when assessing resilience and quality of life?
Surgery is the primary treatment for gynecologic malignancies. The surgical approach provides opportunities for removal of the affected organs and complete assessment of extent of cancer spread. However, the procedures are often associated with significant morbidity. This is especially true with open laparotomy, the most frequently employed approach in developing countries. Delayed functional recovery influenced by pain and immobilization are important contributing factors for increased morbidity. Elastic abdominal binder, a wide elastic belt that is wore around the patient's abdomen to support surgical incision after surgery, has been employed by clinicians for pain relief, wound complications prevention, improved pulmonary function, and stabilization. Benefits of the abdominal binder use in this patient population have not been properly examined. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of postoperative elastic abdominal binder use on recovery by comparing pain scores and mobility function (through the 6-minute walk test [6MWT]) in postoperative gynecologic cancer patients who use versus do not use the elastic abdominal binder to support incisional site.
To elucidate whether peritoneal closure and retroperitoneal drainage can benefit clinical outcome of early gynecologic cancer patients who underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.
Enhanced recovery programs are composed of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative strategies combined to form a multi-modal pathway. ERAS requires a multidisciplinary team of anesthetists, surgeons and nurses for successful implementation and realization of its advantages.The aim of this study is to compare outcomes of conventional perioperative care with those of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) perioperative care plan in women undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer or suspected gynecologic disease.
This study will assess whether the implementation of a combination of ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols and postoperative followup via a smartphone app can offer 1) improved patient satisfaction, 2) virtual patient monitoring without an increase in postoperative emergency room visits, number and severity of postoperative complications, and readmissions, 3) decreased healthcare system costs, and 4) improved patient convenience and reduced patient financial costs. The study will be conducted among women having mastectomy, breast reconstruction, and gynecological oncology procedures. Half of the participants will be assigned to physician monitoring via a smartphone app and half will receive conventional care.
This pilot study is evaluating a new smartphone application named the LETSGO app. The LETSGO app is designed to promote empowerment in patients after treatment for gynecological cancer.
This study will test the feasibility and acceptability of a yoga program for women with gynecologic, gastrointestinal (GI), or thoracic malignancies. This study will pilot an integrative yoga intervention that combines Western psychotherapeutic approaches with classic yogic philosophy to reduce emotional distress among women undergoing treatment for gynecologic, gastrointestinal (GI), or thoracic cancer and provide a comprehensive approach to stress management across the cancer care continuum.
This research study is evaluating a new intervention, BOLSTER, which was designed to provide more support for patients with gynecologic and gastrointestinal cancers and their caregivers after a hospitalization.
Validation of ERAS interventional measures in elective gynecological surgery, for benign either malignant pathology.
Systematic screening for cervical cancer stops in France at 65 years old. The incidence of certain types of gynecological neoplasia increases with age (endometrium, vulva). Diagnosis delay of 8 months has been described for uterine cancer and longer delays for vulvar cancer. The aim of our study is to understand help-seeking behavior and its delay for this type of cancer among patients older than 65.
