Filter by:Monopolar radiofrequency energy is used to perform the laparoscopic cholecystectomy operation. The appearance of burns are common following laparoscopic cholecystectomy; particularly at the port site of the active electrode. Willson et al found that 9 out of 19 skin biopsies from the skin adjacent to the port site of the monopolar instrument's active electrode were found to have thermal injury by histology. [Willson et al. Surg Endosc (1997) 11:653] Authors have speculated that using different generator modes may lead to less capacitive coupling; [Wu et al Am J Surg (2000) 179: 67] although no data exists to support these speculations. The investigators hypothesize that capacitive coupling electrosurgical injuries from monopolar instruments are occurring during laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations. The investigators hypothesize that use of blend modes will reduce the incidence of capacitive coupling thermal injuries during laparoscopic operations in comparison to coag modes.
We hypothesise that pain at minilaparoscopy for gynecologic disease is reduced when transvaginal rather than transumbilical specimen extraction is accomplished. This would be due to the avoidance of a 10-mm port in the umbilicus. Visual analogue scale score of post-operative pain will be obtained and patients satisfaction will be asked at the 2-month postoperative visit.
The purpose of this study is to assess patient satisfaction with the Titan one touch release penis prosthesis and to register complications with this prosthesis. This will regard the first prostheses inserted at Herlev Hospital/Frederikssund Hospital. Patient satisfaction will be assessed by mailing out the "Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) Questionnaire" and recording the patient answers. The most important question will be "Overall how satisfied are you with penile prosthesis?". Complications (including infection, bleeding, and mechanical failure) will be assessed by a patient chart review and confirmed by a brief phone interview.
Aspirin is very common in older patients. Therefore many of the investigators patients have aspirin. The aim of the study is to proof that Transurethral Surgery of the bladder or the prostate can be performed with aspirin.
The aim of this study is to compare conventional with robot-assisted (Da Vinci®) laparoscopic hysterectomy regarding operating time peri-operative outcome and costs.
An hematocrit of 21-25% is supposed to perform the best organ protection during cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery. The investigators want to establish the best timing for a transfusion (in patients with a predicted low hematocrit during cardiopulmonary bypass) and the efficacy of preprocedural hemodilution (in patients with a predicted high hematocrit during cardiopulmonary bypass) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
There are no standardized plasma volume replacement protocols during liver transplantation surgery. The current study is designed to compare efficacy, safety, and costs of perioperative volume replacement with Voluven (Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4) and albumin in patients undergoing liver transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the sealing efficacy and safety of TachoSil® (hereafter referred to as TachoSil) versus standard surgical treatment as the secondary management of intra-operative pulmonary air leakage after a lobectomy in subjects with lung malignancies with or without metastases.
This study aims to compare human subjects receiving epidural bupivacaine local anesthetic at different doses and concentrations and to assess the effect on vasodilatation (sympathectomy), sensory and motor block. The hypothesis is that the drug concentration is more important than drug dose in the determination of the extent and intensity of differential sympathetic, sensory and motor block following epidural local anesthetic.
