Filter by:The defect closure was found to have higher pain and less seroma formation at various intervals of time following TEP for moderate-large direct inguinal hernia. Although these findings were statistically insignificant, they may be clinically significant, and further studies with a larger sample size are suggested.
This study was designed to compare the outcome of 3 point with 1 point lightweight mesh fixation in TAPP surgery for patients with inguinal hernia. The main outcome include seroma, chronic pain, recurrence, et al.
In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the effect of hernia belt on postoperative complications and quality of life for patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Outcomes include hernia recurrence (patient-reported and clinical exam), postoperative complications within 3 months (seroma and hematoma development, wound infection, abdominal bloating and foreign body sensation), pain (visual analog scale,VAS), health-related quality of life (36-item short-form health survey, SF-36). Follow up by physical examination, ultrasonography and telephone.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the outcomes of High-volume saline irrigation vs Povidone-iodine solution cleaning of the intraoperative incision wound in preventing superficial surgical site infections in patients undergoing emergency laparotomies. The main question it aims to answer are: - Incidence of SSI after intervention - Length of hospital stay Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups receiving either of the two groups: Group A: 1000ml of IOWI with saline solution prior to incision closure Group B: The incisional wound will be closed conventionally without irrigation. Researchers will compare groups A( experimental group) and B (control group) to compare the incidence of superficial surgical site infections after intervention.
Rationale: Flap fixation significantly reduces the incidence of seroma formation after mastectomy. Therefore, research should focus on finding the most optimal way to secure the skin flaps to the pectoral muscle. Previous studies have compared running sutures, interrupted sutures and tissue glue application to conventional wound closure. A recent systematic review with network meta-analysis indicated running sutures as the most optimal technique, however direct comparisons and high quality articles were lacking. Objective: This prospective trial aims to directly compare running sutures with interrupted sutures in order to prevent complications in patients undergoing a mastectomy. Study design: This trial will combine a retrospective cohort from the previous SARA-trial in Zuyderland MC with a randomised prospective trial. This study design was chosen to acquire a sample size with sufficient power and the ability to conduct this study in an acceptable time frame. Study population: A retrospective cohort of patients participating in the SARA trial (RCT) and a prospective cohort of patients undergoing a mastectomy for breast cancer. Intervention: Group 1: Flap fixation after mastectomy with running sutures. Group 2: Flap fixation after mastectomy with interrupted sutures. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint is the incidence of complications requiring interventions in both groups, including clinically significant seroma, infections and bleeding complications. Secondarily, the length of the procedure and cosmetic results will be compared. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: When participating, patients will undergo 3 additional outpatient clinic visits. Study visits will be combined with regular visits where possible, including the first postoperative visit after 7-10 days and either the 6 week or 3 month visit.
This study was designed to compare the outcome of 3 point with 1 point lightweight mesh fixation in TAPP surgery for patients with type Ⅲ gilbert inguinal hernia. The main outcome include seroma, chronic pain, recurrence, et al.
Breast surgery plays an important role in the treatment of breast cancer. This study investigates if the use of Harmonic Focus has advantages than the use of conventional diathermy in axillary clearance due to metastatic breast cancer.
The study is designed as international, prospective, multicenter non-AMG/MPG study in cooperation with EUBREAST e.V. (European Breast Cancer Research Association of Surgical Trialists). Furthermore, it is planned to initiate a registry for postoperative breast seromas.
Patients who had mastectomy for breast cancer usually have drainage of some fluid from the site of surgery. This could be prolonged and may lead to other negative consequences after surgery. Octreotide could potentially reduce the amount of this drainage. In this study, patients were grouped into two: a first group that received octreotide injection and a second group that received a placebo. The study tested whether octreotide injection has any effect on the duration of fluid drainage from the surgery site after mastectomy for breast cancer.
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) could improve surgical outcomes and reduce complications like SSI, wound dehiscence and seroma in closed surgical wounds. To date, NPWT was not evaluated in patients undergoing breast conserving surgery without direct reconstruction.Therefore, the aim of this trial is to evaluate the feasibility of NPWT after surgery and its effects on postoperative complications.
