Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the short-term outcomes and long-term outcomes of robot-assisted right colon group for cancer compared to laparoscopic-assisted right colon group. This is a large sample study based on ten years of clinical data. The main question it aims to answer is: What are the advantages of da Vinci robot right hemicolectomy compared to laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, and is there a difference in long-term efficacy between the two methods.
This retrospective study collected participants who underwent robotic or laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer at the North People's Hospital in Jiangsu from January 2019 to January 2023.
Background: Ventral hernia repair poses challenges for surgeons due to controversies in approach, patient selection, and mesh selection. The GORE® SYNECOR Intraperitoneal (IP) Biomaterial, a hybrid mesh, aims to balance durability and infection risk. Objective: To analyze extended-term outcomes of using the Intaperitoneal device for ventral and incisional hernia repair. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing surgery in eight Italian Surgery Centers, evaluating pIPOM and sIPOM techniques with GORE® SYNECOR IP Biomaterial. Preoperative evaluations included anthropometric measurements, comorbidities, CT scans, and GIQLI assessments. Surgical procedures and interventions were recorded. Postoperative complications, GIQLI changes, cosmesis, hernia recurrence, and mesh bulging were assessed.
The aim of this study is to compare laparoscopic -assisted, ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block and laparoscopic intraperitoneal instillation of local anesthetic in pediatrics undergoing inguinal hernia repair.
Immunonutrition (IN) appears to reduce infective complications and in-hospital length of stay (LOS) after gastrointestinal surgery. More specifically, it seems to be beneficial also in gastric cancer surgery. Potential benefits of combining preoperative IN (PIN) with protocols of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in reducing LOS in laparoscopic total gastrectomy are yet to be determined.
The Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) defines informed consent (IC) as a voluntary process where important elements include details of the procedure, complications, and proposed alternatives. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was the most common laparoscopic procedure cited in 423 medical-legal cases reported by CMPA in 2017, with 29% of cases citing issues in pre-operative care including inadequacy of the consent process. The investigators recently demonstrated that technology can help improve the IC process in an outpatient setting by conducting a prospective randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of adding a digital educational platform (DEP) module to a standard verbal consent (SVC) for an elective laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure. The investigators demonstrated a significant improvement in immediate post-consent knowledge of the risks, benefits and alternatives in patients who viewed the DEP module with equivalent patient satisfaction as compared to a SVC. With the proposed study the investigators plan to gather evidence to support implementing a digital education platform for emergent surgical procedures performed in an in-patient setting. The investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial to explore the benefits of adding a DEP module to a SVC for patients presenting with acute cholecystitis requiring an emergent LC as an in-patient. Participants will be randomly allocated (1:1) to either a control group (SVC) or an intervention group (SVC + DEP). Primary outcome of interest will be immediate post-consent knowledge of the risks, benefits, alternatives and expected outcomes for a LC. Secondary outcomes will include satisfaction with the consent discussion and delayed retention of knowledge of the risks, benefits, alternatives and expected outcomes for a LC . The investigators hypothesize that completion of the DEP module in addition to SVC will result in superior immediate and delayed post-consent knowledge of risks and benefits of LC with equivalent patients satisfaction as compared to SVC alone. The results of this study will provide evidence supporting the addition of DEP to SVC for urgent and emergent surgical procedures.
Previously published studies show that adding intrathecal morphine to general anesthesia can reduce the postoperative pain and length of stay (LOS) in varies types of surgery. A recent meta-analysis showed that the addition of intrathecal morphine at doses below 500µg did not increase the risk of respiratory depression compared with a control group receiving intravenous opioids. Epidural analgesia is uncommonly used for robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures due to the limited surgical trauma. In addition, the risks associated with the epidural itself such as infection and spinal hematoma are thought to outweigh its possible benefits for these procedures. At Linkoping University Hospital a combination of general anesthesia and intrathecal morphine in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and in robotic-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy is now routinely used in order to improve postoperative recovery. However whether this approach is beneficial in other types of robotic-assisted urological procedures is unknown. Therefore the investigators aim to conduct a feasibility study for the use of intrathecal morphine combined with general anaesthesia in adult patients undergoing elective urologic laparoscopic robot-assisted surgery at Linkoping University Hospital. The investigators will include 30 patients in the study. The specific aims are to investigate the feasibility and sensitivity of Quality of Recovery 15 (QoR15), as an outcome tool measuring postoperative well-being in this patient cohort. The investigators will also investigate the feasibility of other outcome measures such as postoperative pain, post-anesthesia care unit LOS, occurrence of pruritus and hospital LOS. For planning of the timeframe of the future interventional study the investigators will use this feasibility study to examine the inclusion rate of study patients.
The aim of this study was to identify some risk factors of failure of surgical management of common bile duct stones, in our center between 2007 and 2019.
Cornual pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that accounts for 2% to 4% of ectopic pregnancies, with a mortality rate between 2.0% and 2.5%. Traditionally, interstitial pregnancies were treated by laparotomy with cornial resection or hysterectomy. However, nowadays, increasingly interstitial pregnancies are treated by laparoscopic cranial resection. Although this technique can potentially protect the fertility of the patient, it carries a serious risk of bleeding and requires a surgical experience.
The study involves the use of Retroperitoneal plane for TME for rectal anterior resection. Through a pilot prospective study, LR-TME will be assessed as one arm study.
