Filter by:It is a retrospective study. Patients, who presented with either traumatic or general surgery emergencies, undergone exploratory laparotomy, had an open abdomen management and received Direct Peritoneal Resuscitation in addition to standard resuscitation will be considered as meeting the criteria to collect the data.
This is a multi-center, non-randomized, 3-cohort, phase II trial, evaluating a triplet combination of docetaxel, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil for gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis and inoperable malignant bowel obstruction.
In this prospective, non-randomized cohort study, real-time intraoperative visualization using near-infrared-fluorescence by indocyanine green injection (ICG-NIRF) is performed at two to three time points during procedures of upper GI, lower GI and hepatobiliary surgery with anastomosis formation in open or laparoscopic surgery. Postoperatively, a detailed software-based assessment of each recording is performed to determine the objective ICG-NIRF perfusion rate before and after anastomosis formation, which is then correlated with the 30 day postoperative clinical outcome including occurrence of anastomotic leak.
The primary objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate rate of post-operative ileus or obstruction in patients with ileostomies receiving low fiber diet vs. regular diet starting post-operative day 1. The secondary objectives of this study are to compare the 30-day and 90-day readmission rates, length of stay, rate of high stoma output or need for antidiarrheals within 90 days, nausea score, level of pain, and overall quality of life amongst the patients studied.
This study will observe the postoperative morbidity and mortality trends in patients with non- traumatic abdominal pathology who will undergo emergency general surgery. This prospective study will help us in establishing a prospective de-identified registry that may be used to further research this cohort in the future.
This study is investigating the effect of intraoperative Noradrenaline on cardiac preload and stroke volume, after initial fluid resuscitation, in order to assess whether there is a masked preload responsiveness and ultimately whether the correction of this potential preload-responsiveness with fluid therapy will translate into increased tissue perfusion in emergency laparotomy.
Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is one of the most common complications and is a major cause of admission after intra-abdominal surgery. To date, the ideal management of ASBO remains controversial. The aim of this protocol designed as a double-blind randomized controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy of laser acupuncture (LA) therapy in patients with ASBO.
Gastroschisis is a rare congenital malformation consisting in a right para-umbilical defect of the abdominal wall leading to an evisceration of the abdominal content. About 25% of the cases are associated with intestinal malformation, leading to an increase in peri-natal morbidity and mortality. No prospective study has been able to definitely describe predictive factors for complicated gastroschisis on prenatal ultrasound examinations. The aim of the current study is to prospectively look for US prenatal features predictive of complicated gastroschisis, on a national multicentric cohort. Patients will be included during the 22 weeks of amenorrhea (WA) ultrasound examination, and pre- and postnatal clinical data will be recorded up to the 6th months of the child. Data will then be analysed and compared in the groups of simple or complicated gastroschisis, in order to define pre-natal prognostic factors, to correlate them with specific prognosis, and to might better determine specific strategies for better care of these patients.
Adhesion-related small bowel obstruction is a common digestive emergency that can be managed either conservatively or surgically. However, the choice between these two approaches can be difficult due to the absence of specific signs. The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of a procalcitonin-based algorithm.
Over 63-90% of patients develop peritoneal adhesions after abdominal or pelvic surgery. Which makes it the most common complication after abdominal or pelvic surgery. Adhesions comprise a lifelong risk of adhesion related complications.The most frequent emergency complication of adhesion is an episode of adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). Over 1 in 5 patients experiences at least 1 episode of ASBO in the 10 years following initial abdominal surgery. Despite the high incidence of ASBO, diagnosis and treatment of an episode of ASBO varies greatly between hospitals and even between doctors. Until now, optimal treatment patterns are unknown. The aim of this study is mapping of care for patients with a suspected episode of ASBO. With the collected data new hypothesis will be generated for the ideal diagnostic and therapeutic workflow for patients with a suspicion of an episode of ASBO.
