Filter by:Referred shoulder pain (pain felt when the problem is actually in a different location) is very common after laparoscopic (small, narrow cut) hernia surgery. The purpose of this study is to look at the effect of a simple back massager, which can be readily purchased online or in a store, in addition to the use of standard pain medications.
The purpose of this study is to make the proof of concept and to evaluate the safety of fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) using Smart-TO device in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and moderate to severe pulmonary hypoplasia
Randomized controlled trial to compare SSO's in abdominal wall reconstruction patients using Prevena, Prineo, and traditional incisional dressings.
The study consists in evaluating the analgesic efficacy of Gabapentin versus Placebo in the short term (72h) acute lumbosacral radiculalgia due to disc herniation. In addition to the usual analgesic treatment, the patient will receive gabapentin or placebo. During the three days of treatment, an evaluation of the pain and the tolerance will be performed within the two groups: experimental and control.
The purpose of this study is to use the " Pulse Detection System of Sound Waves " to collect the pulse information of recruited subjects, and to extract characteristic pulse information by multi-scale entropy, Fourier transform, Hilbert yellow transform, spectrum analysis, wavelet analysis and other methods. Evaluate the specificity, sensitivity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio of the "Pulse Detection System of Sound Waves" in the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation.
The study aims to evaluate outcomes relating to pain and QOL after robotic-assisted or laparoscopic non-complex ventral hernia repair.
Inguinal hernias are a common surgical problem. Best management of occult inguinal hernias, defined as hernias unable to be felt on physical exam, is unknown. From prior studies we know that most inguinal hernias will eventually become symptomatic and require surgery (70%). However, doing a repair on a very small, occult hernia may open the patient up to surgical complications, like chronic pain, earlier than necessary. This will be a multi-center randomized controlled trial of surgical repair versus expectant management of occult inguinal hernias. Patients undergoing laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair will be included. At the time of surgery, the surgeon will determine if there is an occult hernia contralateral side. If present, patients will be randomized to repair of the occult side or expectant management of the occult side. After 1 year post-operative data has been assessed, a decision tool will be created and administered to patients to aid in their decision making about treatments for their hernia.
Use of informed algorithm for patients selection of prophylactic mesh aplication after midline laparotomy in emergency surgery.
This single-blind randomized control study will follow 142 subjects across 7 sites randomized on a 1:1 ratio to compare treatment efficacy and safety between TIF and LNF in GERD patients with hiatal hernia undergoing hernia repair.
Randomized clinical trial to determine the efficacy of mesh reinforcement in laparotomy closure in renal transplantation as measured by reduction in the incidence of incisional hernia at 2 years post-transplantation.
