Filter by:The Minimally Invasive Surgery Team (MIST) are establishing a separate research database to find out more about patient's undergoing minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic , open and robot assisted) procedures at UCSD. The hope is that collection of this information will give physicians a better knowledge and understanding of the benefits of minimally invasive surgery and possibly assist physicians to better manage future patients.
The laparoscopic repair of ventral hernias is still a controversial therapeutic option. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic repair we compare the results of the open and laparoscopic repair of ventral hernia,. 53 patients were undergo laparoscopic or open repair of ventral hernia . All defects were estimated to be larger than 5 cm in diameter. Twenty six patients underwent attempted laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) with mesh and twenty seven patients underwent open ventral hernia repair (OVHR) with mesh
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different dose regimens (12 milligrams [mg] and 24 mg) of IV MOA-728 versus placebo in shortening the time to return of bowel function in participants receiving opioid analgesia administered via patient-controlled anesthesia (PCA), and who had undergone repair of large (greater than or equal to [≥]10 centimeters) ventral hernias with or without a mesh prosthesis via laparotomy or laparoscopy.
Parastomal hernias are randomised to either a conventional stoma formed through the rectus anterior muscle or to the same procedure with the addition of a prophylactic mesh in a sublay position.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a technique using very small stitches when closing a midline incision can reduce the risk for wound complications such as incisional hernia, infection or dehiscence.
Background The existence, diagnosis and treatment of short esophagus is one of the controversies of the past which has recently re-emerged The missed diagnosis of short esophagus and the consequent inadequacy of treatment is one of the major causes of failure of antireflux surgery. The daily clinical practice of surgeons dedicated to therapy of esophageal diseases could take advantage of the definition of frequency, preoperative predictors, intraoperative management and post operative outcomes of cases of foreshortened esophagus, in order to offer the patient affected by GERD the elements necessary for a conscious choice of therapy and to plan the best performance of the surgical procedure. Aims of the Study To define the percentage of cases among the total of antireflux procedures performed, in which, after standard isolation of the ge junction and eventual dissection of the mediastinal esophagus at least two centimetres of esophagus can not be replaced without any applied tension below the apex of the diaphragmatic hiatus. To define the percentage of surgical procedures aimed to treat electively a condition of non reducible G-E junction and foreshortened esophagus, among a multicentric formed case series of patients submitted to antireflux surgery. To define the preoperative clinical and instrumental predictors for a surgical procedure aimed to treat foreshortened esophagus. To record the intra-operative, postoperative, 6 month and 12 month outcome of procedures adopted for the surgical treatment of GERD. Materials and Methods The study will comprise patients in which surgical therapy for GERD is indicated according to the international guidelines and the Centres policy . Patients will be submitted to the antireflux procedure chosen by the surgeon according to the internationally recognized scientific surgical principles and the personal judgement. The preoperative study and the postoperative follow up adopted in the present study are accepted by the Centres as they correspond to the international guidelines and the Centres' current practice criteria for the surgical treatment of GERD.
The study aims to prove differences or equalities in outcome for patients operated with or without a peristomal mesh in the sublay position when establishing a permanent colostomy.
Chronic inguinal neuralgia is one of the most important complications following inguinal hernia repair. It may even outweigh the benefit of the operation. Intraoperative neurectomy has been investigated to reduce the incidence of chronic pain. This study evaluates the effects of elective division of the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric and genital branch of the genitofemoral nerves on pain and postoperative sensory symptoms after Lichtenstein hernia repair.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate three dose levels of SKY0402 compared with 105 mg of bupivacaine HCl.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether drainage after prosthetic repair of incisional abdominal hernias increases or decreases complications such as infection, seromas and hematomas.
