Filter by:Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been recognized as a typical post- operative complication among the children undergoing surgical repair of a congenital cardiac defect. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit and a higher utilization of hospital resources. However, how to precisely identify those who have greater hazard to encounter postoperative AKI seems ambiguous.
Uterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) is a commonly performed procedure used to correct prolapse of the vaginal apex. The procedure consists of approximating the vaginal apex to the uterosacral ligaments with a series of sutures placed bilaterally, and is most often performed from a transvaginal approach. USLS is associated with favorable outcomes and is overall safe. However, given the anatomical proximity of the uterosacral ligaments to the ureters, ureteral injury during suspension suture placement may occur. Ureteral occlusion in this setting occurs as a result of partial or complete ligation, kinking or anatomical distortion by the nearby sutures. As a measure for avoiding these undesired sequelae, cystoscopy is usually performed after suspension suture placement during USLS to ensure visualization of bilateral ureteral flow. Any interruption of ureteral flow is usually addressed by removal of the suspension sutures, ureteral stenting, and, rarely, surgical repair of the ureter if severe injury is sustained. Ultrasound can identify the ureteral jet of urine flowing into the bladder. Previous studies demonstrated ureteral jet asymmetry in case of obstruction, with an absent or weaker monolateral jet.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the main malnutrition risk assessment tools in patients undergoing operations of general surgery.
Patients who are scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy will be included in the study. After the operation, those who are well and without major distress will be discharged from the hospital before 24 hours. Those who have pain or have additional health problems will be observed further. Our aim is to compare these two groups in terms of early complications and operation characteristics.
A 10-year follow up of a fusion of two earlier published randomized controlled trials. 203 patients with displaced distal radius fractures were randomized to surgery with a volar locking plate or external fixation.
To evaluate the feasibility of a pragmatic, large scale, comparative effectiveness, randomized evaluation of patient experience of intravenous propofol versus inhaled volatile anesthesia.
The overall objective of this study is to describe the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients with a positive and negative AIR-test result. Second, the investigators wish to describe the incidence of a positive AIR-test and its association with the development of PPC. In addition, the investigators aim to describe whether mechanical ventilation strategy differs between patients with a positive and negative AIR-test.
the aim of this study is clarify complication and their resolution in laparoscopic renal and adrenal surgery.
Older adults, especially those with frailty, have a higher risk for complications, functional and cognitive decline after urgent surgery. These patients have their functional and physiological reserve reduced which makes them more vulnerable to the effects of being bedridden. The consequences are at multiple levels emphasizing the functional loss or cognitive impairment, longer stays, mortality and institutionalization, delirium, poor quality of life and increased use of resources related to health. Exercise training can prevent functional and cognitive decline and modify even the posterior trajectory
The aim of this prospective observational study is to identify the specific reasons that prolong a hospital stay after elective tumor craniotomy. Optimal postoperative in-hospital stay is considered to be two days from surgery to discharge from the neurosurgical ward. However, a variable length of stay at a neurological department for follow-up of late recognized deficits of neurological consequences of the surgical procedure are common.
