Filter by:Extended day surgery or 23 h surgery (23-hour surgery) is a surgical model where patients arrive to the hospital from home at the day of surgery, are operated and recover in a 23 h surgery unit. 23H surgery units are usually situated near postoperative recovery unit. THe 23 H surgical model was implemented in Kuopio University Hospital 2015 and between May 2017-May 2018 patients were recruited in the present prospective follow up cohort study. Patients were informed and they gave their informed consent. The patients were contacted two weeks after the study and details of their recovery were asked.
The creation of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery can have significant effects on the respiratory system including decreased respiratory system compliance, decreased vital capacity and functional residual capacity and atelectasis formation. Intraoperative mechanical ventilation, especially setting of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has an important role in respiratory management during laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this study is to determine whether setting of PEEP guided by measurement of pleural pressure would improve oxygenation and respiratory system compliance during laparoscopic surgery.
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy is a procedure that is performed each time more often. One of the problems described for this procedure has to do with the closure of the vaginal vault, increased surgical time when suture laparoscopically, complications such as dehiscence of the dome, infections, hematomas and dyspareunia. A prospective study will be conducted to compare two different techniques for closure of the vaginal vault.
Purpose: The primary objective is to compare the time required for adequate intraperitoneal insufflation (from skin incision to reaching intraperitoneal pressure of 15 mmHg). Also the number of attempts needed before successful entry is achieved. The secondary objectives will evaluate rates of secondary outcomes measures such as; failed entry, extra peritoneal insufflation, vascular injury, visceral injury, gas embolism, solid organ injury, and omental injury between the two techniques. Study design: prospective randomized control trial Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that participant's undergoing laparoscopic surgery for benign Gynecologic indications at TGH who undergo laparoscopic entry technique of Veress needle entry with concomitant CO2 insufflation will require less time to achieve a 15 mmHg of intraperitoneal pressure as opposed to Veress needle entry with subsequent CO2 insufflation, and will require less number of attempts to achieve successful entry.
In Denmark, 4400 women annually undergo hysterectomy on benign background (surgical removal of the uterus). 10% of these women experience bleeding complications. The drug Tranexamic Acid (Cyklokapron) has showed significant reduction of bleeding in relation to other types of surgery. The hypothesis of this study is that Tranexamic Acid could also reduce the operative bleeding associated with benign hysterectomy. The study will be carried out as a randomized, placebo-controlled national multicenter trial
This study compares methods of closure for Pfannenstiel incisions commonly used during gynecological and obstetrical surgery. Patients are assigned to closure by either surgical staples or a buried suture. Information is collected on the day of surgery, post-operative day two and at the six-week follow up visit. The amount of pain and cosmetic result are compared. Infection rates will also be monitored for the two groups. The study hypothesis is as follows: subcuticular (buried) sutures as compared to surgical staples lead to decreased post-operative pain and improved cosmetic result. Infection rates are similar for both groups.
