Filter by:Robotic mastectomy with immediate reconstruction was introduced by Toesca et al. in 2015. Since then, several studies have reported the safety and feasibility of robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. However, most studies were conducted by single centers and had small samples. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies comparing surgical and oncologic outcomes between robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy and conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy. For this reason, this study evaluates surgical and oncologic outcomes of robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using international multi-center data.
The present study was conducted in laparoscopic hysteromyoma patients, aiming to compare the effects of morning surgery with afternoon surgery on early postoperative sleep function and postoperative recovery under general anesthesia.
The aim of this project is to develop a machine-learning model for calculating the risk of postoperative complications. In addition to the data collected during the premedication, the model will include all intraoperative values recorded in the Patient Data Management System (PDMS), which include not only vital and respiratory parameters, but also medication and doses, intraoperative events and times. Postoperative complications are defined according to their severity according to the Clavien-Dindo score (Dindo, Demartines et al., 2004) and are collected from the data available in the health information system (HIS). The machine-learning model is created using an extreme-gradient boosting algorithm which has been updated with new data from the year 2021 to ensure accuracy of the model.
Aim of the study is to compare prostate artery embolization (PAE) to the established surgical treatment for patient acceptance, morbidity, complications, and the functional outcomes. To compare length of stay, hospital costs and time for recovery. 140 patients will be randomized to PAE or surgery. Patients should suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), be candidates for both treatments and willing to undergo both procedures. Before randomization computed tomography angiography of the pelvic arteries is done to select eligible patients. Magnetic resonance imaging of prostate rules out possible cancer. The PAE is done in the angio suite in the radiology department injecting small particles into the prostate arteries. The surgery is done in the operation room in the urology department according to established procedures. Clinical follow-up include clinical visit after 3 months, 1 and 5 years. Acute as well as long term complications will be recorded.
Evaluation of the efficacy of amox+clav and of a probiotic after tooth extraction. the aim is to evaluate efficacy of antibiotic therapy after tooth extractions in preventing infections as compared to no therapy, and efficacy of probiotics in preventing gastro-intestinal adverse effects during the antibiotic treatment. The number of patients to be included is 150. The study products are: Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Acid and Bifidobacterium Longum and Lactoferrin.
Postoperative disturbances for patients' well-being in the PACU after general or spinal anaesthesia will be assessed. Influence of the offer of beverages and music will be assessed regarding their wellbeing, satisfaction and pain.
The role of laparoscopic liver surgery with respect to clinical outcome remains unclear.
The objective of the implementation pilot is to assess the practicality of introducing a perioperative immunonutrition protocol into a hospital environment as well as a true measure of impact on the rate of surgical site infection (SSI).
The aim of the study is to evaluate the complications rate of high risk patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery that receive two different protocols of hemodynamic optimization. A group of patients receive a protocol based on dynamic parameters of fluid responsiveness; the other group of patients receive a protocol based of the optimization of oxygen extraction. The hypothesis is that a perioperative hemodynamic optimization protocol based on oxygen extraction is not inferior to a protocol based on dynamic parameters of fluid responsiveness considering the complication rate developed postoperatively.
Background During anaesthesia for repair of a broken hip, many patients experience low blood pressure. There have been many studies showing that patients who experience low blood pressure during anaesthesia are at increased risk of sustaining kidney or heart damage, strokes, having a post-operative infection, or dying. During anaesthesia, in most cases blood pressure is monitored using a cuff which inflates on the arm (the 'normal' way blood pressure is measured in a GP practice or hospital ward). This gives a reading each time the cuff goes up and down, every 3-5 minutes typically. There is a less well used way to measure blood pressure, using an additional cuff on the finger which gives a constant, continuous measure of blood pressure. We think that using this monitor, rather than the 'standard' monitor, will mean that low blood pressure is recognised more quickly, therefore treated more quickly, and will lead to patients having less exposure to dangerously low blood pressures. If this is the case, we hope that it will reduce how often patients experience kidney or heart damage, have an infection after surgery, suffer a stroke, and reduce the risk of death. Methodology To test this, we would need to run a large clinical trial comparing the continuous monitor to the standard monitor. This would be expensive and involve a great deal of work in a large number of hospitals, and so first we wish to determine whether the trial we would like to run is practical, and possible to deliver in the real world. To do this we plan to run the trial first on a small-scale feasibility (pilot) study, where we will recruit 30 patients, half of whom will have the standard monitor, and half of whom will have the continuous monitor. We will see what proportion of the patients who could enter the trial actually do so and complete it, and use it as an opportunity to iron out problems with the trial. If we find it is possible to run the trial on a small scale, we will apply for funding to run a full study. This will aim to answer the question of whether the continuous monitor improves the patient outcomes which were agreed during development with the patient public involvement group locally; rate of kidney damage, heart damage, stroke, post-operative infections, risk of death, and hospital length-of-stay. Expected outcomes and implications. We anticipate we will find the trial to be feasible with amendments to the way it is run, and if this is the case, we will apply to run the full scale trial. If this shows that using the continuous monitor improves the patient outcomes above, then it would represent new, significant evidence that may lead to the NHS adopting it's use as 'standard care' during anaesthesia for repair of a broken hip, and would like lead to similar trials in other operations where patients may benefit in a similar way.
