Filter by:The cutaneous silent period is a non-invasive technique that gives insight into the function of thin A delta fibers and as such can be a complement to conventional electrophysiological methods used to study the peripheral nerves. Clonidine is a selective partial agonist of the alpha-2 receptors which, added intrathecally to levobupivacaine, enhances the effect of a local anesthetic, prolongs sensory and motor block during local anesthesia and extends the length of post-operative analgesia. It is believed that clonidine achieves this effect by activating the postsynaptic alpha-2 receptors in the gelatine substance of the spinal cord and blocking the conduction of A-delta and C fibers. The aim of the study is to examine functional changes of Aδ - fibers during the application of spinal anesthesia by measuring the cutaneous slinet period and compare the effect of intrathecal administration of a combination of local anesthetic and clonidine in the quiet skin period in relation to the application of local anesthetic only.
Patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic preperitoneal or open inguinal hernia repair will be evaluated by means of scrotal/testicular ecocolordoppler ultrasound investigation before and after surgery in order to rule out the potential impact of the surgical procedure on testicular arterial and venous blood flow
This will be a multi-center prospective observational study of all patients who undergo laparoscopic pyloromyotomy. Subjects who have PPV will be followed up to just before their 18th birthday through annual phone calls or emails to determine the incidence and timing of subsequent inguinal hernia.
Surgical intervention to treat a inguinal hernia is a very common pediatric surgical procedure, often performed using an inguinal incision. Children who undergo hernia repair can suffer from a significant degree of discomfort postoperatively. The investigators are evaluating the effectiveness of an ultrasound guided caudal-epidural (CE) block to an US guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric (IIG/IHG) nerve block in achieving post operative analgesia following a hernia repair. It is hypothesized that US guided IIG/IHG nerve block leads to more effective pain control post-operatively while in hospital relative to an US guided CE block for inguinal hernia surgery.
Here, investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of inguinal operations performed with a modified Ferguson technique upon testicular volume and blood flow. This study involved 23 patients receiving surgery for inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and cord cyst. The color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) was used to assess testicular volume and blood flow before and after a modified Ferguson technique surgery. The pre- and postoperative testicular volume and blood flow were compared with the contralateral testes. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to statistically analyze the data arising; the Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman test were used to compare samples, and P < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.
One of the most common complications after hernia repair is postoperative and chronic pain. TAP (transverse abdominis plain) block is a recommended multimodal method of reducing postoperative pain in laparoscopic and open inguinal hernia repair. The objective of this study is to determine whether the use of a perioperative echo guided unilateral TAP block has a superior effect on postoperative pain after laparoscopic inguinal repair compared to an anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block with a long acting local anesthetic.
To evaluate the impact on the postoperative pain of the dexamethasone addition to the usual treatment with bupivacaine in the local infiltration of the surgical area in Inguinal Hernia Repair Mesh
To investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the anterior transversalis fascia approach versus the preperitoneal approach for inguinal hernia repair in residents from northern China regarding common postoperative complications (including acute and chronic pain, wound infection, rates of wound infection, hematoma, seroma, and hernia recurrence) and severe postoperative complications.
The purpose of this study is the measurement of the evolution of the operation time during the start-up phase of robotic-assisted surgery for the treatment of inguinal hernia`s of 50 patients treated in Maria Middelares in laparoscopic rTAPP technique.
Inguinal hernia is a common disease in children. Treatment of this disease by laparoscopic high ligation of the hernia sac has been accepted by domestic and foreign scholars. Since laparoscopic inguinal hernia was introduced in 1990,it has now become the most commonly performed hernia repair in children. The conventional approach this is done with2small trocars to 1trocar . however the wound complications of infection and pain and the recurrent rate have not been resolved. The aim of the study was to described a new way of extra-peritoneal high ligation of hernia sac. This method combines the single-port laparoscopic could eliminated rate of wound complications and recurrence in inguinal hernia repair in children. The investigators hoped that this study will prove that the extra-peritoneal single-port laparoscopic repair is at least a s effective and efficient as the conventional technique in the cure of inguinal hernia and may results in lower recurrence and reduce incidence of wound complications.
