Filter by:Post-surgical delirium in patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Introduction Delirium occurs after major abdominal surgery may reach about 15% of the patients.(1) Aim The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of delirium after radical cystectomy surgery and the associated risk factors in Alexandria University hospital. Patients and Methods After approval of local ethical committee and patient consent, the study will be done on patients undergoing radical cystectomy surgery in Alexandria University hospitals from January 5th 2019 till January 4th 2020. The 6-item Cognitive Impairment Test (6CIT) and SPMSQ questionnaire will be used. SPMSQ will be done preoperative and daily for 3 days postoperative, at day 7. Phone call for SPMSQ will be done 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after surgery.
Goal-directed therapy (GDT) has been applied to various clinical settings and has been widely researched recently as a method for perioperative management of patients. Radical cystectomy is a complex surgical procedure in which the bladder is removed, followed by urinary diversion. It is an extensive and time-consuming intervention and has high probability of fluid imbalance and bleeding during surgery. We hypothesized that the application of GDT in these patients would improve clinical postoperative outcomes. Therefore, we will attempt to evaluate improvement of postoperative outcomes after applying GDT protocol based on changes in stroke volume index, cardiac index and mean arterial pressure in radical cystectomy.
Cystectomy with urinary diversion (ileal conduit, orthotopic ileal bladder substitute, continent catheterizable pouch) is the best treatment option for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This intervention is one of the most challenging in urology and has a high rate of postoperative complications including around 30% of postoperative infections. Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) is widely accepted as a crucial preventive measure to reduce the incidence of surgical site infections (SSI). The rationale for PAP is the reduction of the local bacterial load at the site and time of intervention, and therefore a short duration of PAP of 24 to maximal 48 hours is recommended for all clean to clean-contaminated procedures.. Evidence supporting the optimal duration of PAP for radical cystectomy with urinary diversion is lacking. Based on data extrapolated from abdominal surgery, current guidelines recommend short-term PAP (≤24h) for all clean-contaminated procedures including radical cystectomy. However, a recent evaluation revealed a significant inter-hospital variability of PAP and showed that extended use (>48h) was common in patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Importantly, this study also demonstrated that longer duration of PAP incurred higher costs and was associated with an increased rate of C. difficile colitis. A small, prospective, non-randomized study showed equal efficacy of short-term PAP in preventing postoperative infections in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileum conduit compared to extended PAP. Nonetheless, larger randomized clinical trials supporting these findings are lacking. The unwarranted extended use of antibiotics is a major concern as exposure to antibiotics is a driving force for the development of (multi-) resistant bacteria and will lead to an increasing number of difficult-to-treat infections. This has been recognized on both national and international levels and is addressed within antimicrobial stewardship frameworks. This study will compare current practice (>48h PAP, "extended PAP") with the guideline recommended approach (24h PAP, "short term PAP") in a single-centre, prospective, randomised clinical non-inferiority trial. The primary outcome is the rate of SSI within 90 days post surgery. The aim of the study is to generate currently lacking evidence allowing for an optimised PAP strategy in a challenging surgical setting.
Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease usually associated with radical cystectomy operation which is the treatment of choice for invasive urinary bladders tumor. Peri-operative acute kidney injury (AKI) is common but poorly recognized and managed which is associated with increase surgical morbidity and mortality and hospital cost .Prospective human studies establishing a renal protective effect of dexmedetomidine are still questionable.
Although fluid therapy is of paramount value in anesthetic practice, there is no guideline available for perioperative fluid management in major abdominal surgery. So, there is a need to establish whether goal directed fluid therapy protocol is effective during radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. A balance of perioperative fluid therapy is crucial, yet the method to achieve this equilibrium remains a highly debated subject. Therefore, this study will be designed to investigate the effects of two individualized goal directed fluid therapy during radical cystectomy to encourage an effective circulating blood volume and pressure. Accordingly, as a primary outcome, the investigators assume that stroke volume optimization could maintain better perioperative hemodynamic stability with low incidence and severity of hypotensive episodes together with achievement of maximal oxygenation. Hopefully this regimen could help to decrease the possibility of perioperative tissue hypoperfusion and the possible associated complications as a secondary outcome.
This is a randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled phase IV trial with two parallel treatment groups receiving either immune nutrition diet (IND) or conventional diet for 2weeks peri-radical cystectomy. Patients will be stratified according to the gender, body mass index, and the type of urinary diversion (orthotopic neobladder or ileal conduit). The primary end-point is to determine, in intention to treat analysis, the influence of IND on 90-day postoperative morbidity. Secondary study end-points will be the effect of IND on infectious as well as non-infectious complications over 90 days, compliance and adverse effects of IND. Finally, an ancillary study will be performed to evaluate whether the IND costs could counterbalance, by its benefits, the health care costs.It is envisaged to finish patients' recruitment within 24 months
The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of using Ultrapro mesh along with the usual bladder removal surgery, versus having the usual bladder removal surgery without the use of the mesh.
Cystectomy with urinary diversion (ileal conduit, ileal orthotopic neobladder, catheterizable ileal pouch) is major abdominal surgery, which is associated with a high incidence of gastrointestinal complications.Perioperative techniques aiming at an early return of bowel function are to be pursued. Optimal postoperative pain management is one of the key factors leading to enhanced recovery after surgery. The perioperative use of an epidural analgesia for major abdominal surgery is established, not only because of its excellent analgesic properties, but also because it can accelerate the return of bowel function. However, epidural analgesia is associated with additional costs, need for close monitoring and nursing. In addition each supplemental day with an indwelling epidural catheter increases the risk of infection. So it is recommended to re-assess the risk/benefit ratio of an epidural analgesia after 4 days, if not sooner. Therefore, it is important to develop strategies that reduce its duration without impairing the benefits. Systemic analgesics with prolonged-release oral formulation like oral oxycodone (Oxycontin®) or combined drug mixture (oral oxycodone/naloxone (Targin®)) could be a valuable alternative pain treatment as a second analgesic step, starting on postoperative day (POD) 3, so that the epidural catheter could be removed earlier without impairing postoperative enhanced recovery including return of the bowel function. Both oxycodone and naloxone orally administered are a recognized and accepted treatment option. The objective of this study is to evaluate the implementation of an oral opioid with or without naloxone in the early postoperative period in patients undergoing open radical cystectomy with urinary diversion and intraoperative and early postoperative use of epidural analgesia. The investigators expect an unchanged early return of the bowel function and equal analgesia with a reduced length of stay of the epidural catheter (primary endpoint), thus potentially reducing epidural catheter associated complications and lowering costs (nursing and pain service).
The purpose of this study is determine if using Impact Advanced Recovery® before and after RC surgery helps reduce surgical complications.
