To compare the effects of volume-oriented versus flow-oriented incentive spirometry on pulmonary function tests and functional capacity in patients of upper abdominal laparoscopic surgery. Previous studies were designed to target only spirometer without focusing on its different types and their effects. This study covers the research gap and therefore is designed to observe effects of different types of spirometer on pulmonary function of patients undergoing upper abdominal laparoscopic surgery.
Incisional hernia is a common condition after abdominal surgery. Because linea alba has less vascularity, incisional hernia more common in midline incisions. It is seen in the general population between 11-20%. In some high-risk situations, this rate increases up to 40-69% (abdominal aortic aneurysm, morbid obesity, colorectal surgery).It is known that incisional hernia that occurs in the postoperative period can lead to emergency surgical causes such as incarceration-strangulation, has a significant share in health expenses and seriously impairs the quality of life in patients.One of the methods tried to reduce incisional hernia is the use of mesh. But this abdominal closure technique is not used routinely in our country and the other countries. This study will be important of the studies in Turkey and world for patient selection in prophylactic mesh use, techniques to be applied and early / late results. The aim of the study is to compare the classical abdominal closure technique with use of mesh in order to minimize the incisional hernia and associated complications after midline laparotomy.
Patients were randomized into two groups: Group Gabapentine ( G group) received 600 mg of Gabapentin (two tablets) two hours prior to surgery and saline solution before induction of spinal anesthesia and group Ketamine ( K group) received two placebo tablets and an injection of ketamine at a dosage of 0.15 mg/Kg before induction of spinal anesthesia.. During the surgery, blood pressure and heart rate were monitored. Postoperative analgesia was provided by a PCA morphine. Acute postoperative pain was assessed by a visual analog scale. The incidence of postoperative neuropathic pain was detected by the DN4 questionnaire after one and three months of surgery.
The orifices of all inguinal and ventral (including Spigelian) hernias were carefully recorded at the beginning of laparoscopy (n=201) of other reason (cholecystectomy, fundoplication) in 2003-5. The patients with occult hernias (n=43) were followed-up 15 years to find out what percentage of hernias would become symptomatic.
In this study, compare the effects of Cyriax manipulation and Decompression in patient with lumber disc prolapseThis research will provide an important addition to the evidence based treatment intervention in physical therapy in the field of manipulation as there is no such research work have been done on comparative study of cyriax manipulation and decompression in lumber disc protrusion.
Two Millimetres needlescopic instruments induce minimal damage to the abdominal wall and have excellent cosmetic results. However, these instruments are fragile and expensive with short weak jaws. The aim of this study is to present a novel needlescopic approach using 1.6-mm Suture Grasper Device [SGD], modified polypectomy snare and a home-made Snare (HMS) for the treatment of congenital inguinal hernias [CIH] in girls. Over a period of one year from March 2018 to March 2019 a prospective study was conducted in three tertiary centres on 53 girls presented with CIH. Preoperative inguinoscrotal U/S was done for all patients to confirm the diagnosis and to measure the diameter of internal inguinal ring [IIR]. All patients were repaired using needlescopic inversion and snaring of the hernia sac using 2-SGDs and a snare. Follow up period ranged from 12 to 24 (Median 16.5) months. Fifty-three girls with 74 hernias were included in this study. Their mean age was 37.8 months. Internal inguinal ring diameter (IIR) ranged between 8-15 mm with a mean of 11.8±2.8mm. Mean operative time was 15.5 minutes in bilateral and 11.4 minutes in unilateral cases. Mean operative time for inversion, snaring, and sac extraction was 4.2±1.3 minutes. All cases were completed successfully without conversion and without complications. Follow up period ranged from 12 to 24 (Median 16.5) months with non-visible scar and no recurrence among the studied patients. Needlescopic inversion and snaring of inguinal hernia using 1.6mm instruments is a safe, rapid and feasible method for CIH repair in girls with invisible scar and no short-term recurrence.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of myofascial release technique on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy with unilateral arm involvement and compare this with exercise. The individuals included in the study will be randomized into two groups, 17 control and 17 study groups. Sessions will be 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Conventional physiotherapy and exercise program will be applied to the control group, conventional physiotherapy and myofascial release technique will be applied in the intervention group. Conventional physiotherapy methods; It will include Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound (US), hotpack agents. Exercise program; extension, right and left lateral flexion, right and left rotation exercises, chin-tuck, right and left upper trapezius muscle group stretching, neck extensor muscle group isometric strengthening exercises. Myofascial release will be applied to the fingers, wrist flexor-extensor muscle groups, elbow flexor-extensor muscle groups, pectoral muscles and rotator cuff muscle groups. Patients will be evaluated before and after treatment with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Goniometric measurements, algometer, myometer, Neck Disability Scale, "Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand" Questionnaire (DASH).
A double-blind, randomized controlled study is designed to assess the analgesic effect of a single intravenous dose of 2 g of magnesium dipyrone (metamizol) and whether the administration of the active drug will be associated with changes in plasma beta-endorphin immunoreactivity values in patients undergoing elective inguinal herniorrhaphy (Bassini operation) under epidural anesthesia. Participants, care givers, and those assessing the outcomes will be blinded to group assignment. Participants will be randomized to receive dipyrone or a placebo. The active drug or placebo will be administered as an intravenous infusion over 10 min. Pain will be evaluated by the patient according to a 100-mm visual analogue scale. Assessments will be carried out the day before surgery, immediately after operation, at the time of drug administration, and 60 and 180 min after treatment. At the same time as pain will be evaluated, blood samples will be drawn for plasma beta-endorphin immunoreactivity measurement (immunoradiometric assay).
The research is aimed at identifying factors of herniation after median laparotomy and developing surgical methods for preventing postoperative ventral hernias and eventrations.
