Filter by:Regional anesthesia, also know as a nerve block, is a key component of pain control after major abdominal surgery. Bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) performed at low thoracic level has been shown to be an effective pain control method in case reports. This pilot study aims to further characterize the pain-control characteristics and to provide baseline data for future trials.
This is a randomized controlled trial to determine the influence of chlorhexidine gluconate surgical/topical antiseptic solutions on the bacterial environment of the vagina during hysterectomy and compare that to the effect of standard iodine-based preparations on the same.
The main objective of the study is the comparison of the effective duration of hospitalization following laparoscopic hysterectomy via a single-port peri-umbilical technique versus an conventional multi-port technique.
The study is a blinded randomized clinical trial, comparing policies of high volume preemptive wound infiltration with a specific anesthetic cocktail versus standard of care (no wound infiltration and routine anesthesia) for post operative pain management after hysterectomy. Morphine use and pain will be measured during index admission, and pain will also be measured six weeks postoperatively. The study will be conducted at a single site, Rockyview General Hospital.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block as a part of a multimodal postoperative pain management after robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterecomy.
Robotic technology has been used for laparoscopic hysterectomies for over 10 years. Mayo Clinic Arizona has used robotics in Gynecology for the last 10 years with well over 500 procedures performed. Similar to the laparoscopic approach, small incisions are utilized with the robotic approach. Robotic instruments differ from laparoscopic instruments in that the tips of the instruments can rotate more like the human wrist. The instruments are attached to the robotic arms which are controlled by your surgeon. The surgeon is seated at the surgeon's console which is located 12 feet from the patient while the surgical assistant is at your bedside assisting in the procedure. This study is being done to compare the procedure times and results after laparoscopic hysterectomies to laparoscopic hysterectomies performed with robotic assistance.
This study is being done to determine if combined infusions of lidocaine and ketamine is better than a lidocaine or ketamine infusion alone, or to placebo in improving recovery after abdominal hysterectomy. Participants will be randomized into one of four groups. Evaluations will be done through walking tests, pain and fatigue questionnaires and blood tests.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the risks of testosterone transdermal patch use in a representative study population. The primary clinical outcome of interest is breast cancer.
