Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare the use of Airseal versus a standard insufflation, in children who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, between January 2021 and December 2022. The main questions it aims to answer are: - amount of analgesics consumed postoperatively - mean digital pain scale Data are directly extracted from patients medical files. The investigators will compare the Airseal group (A group) to the Standard insufflation group (S group) to see if the A group consumes significatively less analgesics and are less painful than the S group.
Mortality from severe acute pancreatitis reaches 42%. The prognosis of acute pancreatitis is associated with the development of acute inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ failure (MOF). Due to the lack of etiological therapy, the treatment of acute pancreatitis is predominantly symptomatic. Severity and mortality are associated with early systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and septic complications at a later stage of the disease. With regard to the pronounced inflammatory response ("cytokine storm") during the early phase of endogenous intoxication of acute pancreatitis, extracorporeal removal of cytokines is a promising therapeutic approach. This prospective study examines the effect of early extracorporeal sorption of cytokines using the Efferon CT device on the severity of clinical symptoms of endogenous intoxication in acute pancreatitis and aseptic pancreatic necrosis.
This prospective validation study aims to investigate the incidence of PPAP after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) by applying the ISGPS definition and grading system, to demonstrate its clinical impact by examining associated postoperative outcomes, and to validate its applicability through an economic assessment.
The goal of this non-inferiority observational study is to assess the diagnostic performance of low-dose CT with deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) in adult participants with acute abdominal conditions. The main research question is: • Can low-dose CT with DLIR achieve the same diagnostic performance as standard CT for the diagnosis of acute abdominal conditions. Participants will be examined with an additional low-dose CT directly after the standard CT. Participant will be their own controls.
Although COVID-19 disease due to Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) affects the respiratory tract, heart and coagulation system, symptoms of gastrointestinal system involvement such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are also common. In this study, it was aimed retrospective analysis of clinical and laboratory data of patients who developed pancreatic injury and acute pancreatitis in the course of COVID 19 disease.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needles with side fenestrations are used to collect aspirates for cytology analysis and biopsy samples for histologic analysis. The investigators conducted a large, multicenter study to compare the accuracy of diagnosis via specimens collected with fine-needle biopsy (FNB) versus fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for patients with lesions requiring immunohistochemistry (IHC) pathological diagnosis.
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is the most severe form of acute pancreatitis (AP) and Infection of pancreatic necrosis (IPN) have shown to be one of the decisive factors defining the severity of illness. Minimally invasive techniques including endoscopy, laparoscopy, retroperitoneal approaches, etc., have recently been widely used for debridement because the procedure can further reduces surgical stress and performed not require general anesthesia, thereby reducing complications. Studies have shown that endoscopic transgastric necrosectomy can significantly reduced the proinflammatory response, complications, and hospital stay. Despite these advantages, there are some limitations with this approach. First, transgastric necrosectomy should be performed as late (about 4 weeks) in the course of the disease as possible to allow necrosis to wrap, since early debridement may result in a higher patient fatality rate. However, patients with SAP are often in a severely ill state due to sepsis or MODS at an early stage, which causes them unable to adhere to necrotic tissue encapsulation by conservative treatment. Second, the ideal patient to select for this approach has necrosis confined in the vicinity of gastroduodenal location. Last, up to 27% of IPN patients require additional percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) after undergoing endoscopic transluminal therapy. This may be explained by the fact that dissemination of necrosis, digestive enzymes and inflammatory mediators from the necrotic tissue lumen to other parts of the abdominal cavity during endoscopic procedures. Percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) has always been the principal treatment measure for patients with AP at early stage (< 4 weeks) or those with collections or necrosis extending into deeper anatomical planes. Irrigation through peripancreatic drainage placed after open laparotomy has been the standard treatment for patients with AP who had undergone surgical necrosectomy. However, this proactive approach has not been widely used in the setting of PCD. To adequate drainage and removal of necrosis, an early percutaneous continuous irrigation assisted vacuum drainage in combination with subsequent endoscopic transgastric necrosectomy which has not been reported so far was applied in critically ill patients with SAP.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of gallstone characteristics for the severity of acute gallstone pancreatitis (GSP)
We aim to develop an EUS-AI model which can facilitate clinical diagnosis by analyzing EUS pictures and clinical parameters of patients.
The aim of this study is to use a validated patient-reported outcome measure to evaluate how many patients have symptoms of pancreatitis after ERCP and how it correlates with their quality of life and productivity.
