Filter by:Postoperative fistula is the major complications of distal pancreatectomies which prohibit patients' recovery. Previous studies have reported controversial results regarding the efficacy of pancreatic stump reinforcement methods. Prior research has commonly included minimally invasive and open cases together. Moreover, stapler and suture were combined in most studies making interpretation difficult. Data has shown that staple line plus reinforcement might potentially decrease the CR-POPF rate of patients who underwent distal pancreatectomies, but well-designed high-quality evidence is lacking. Thus, the investigators design the present study to the question that whether routine staple line plus reinforcement would bring benefit for participants.
The ELASTO-SURGERY study aims to evaluate the prognostic role of portal hypertension evaluated by non-invasive methods in predicting post-operative morbidity (at 90 days) and mortality (at 365 days) in patients with advanced chronic liver disease undergoing elective extrahepatic surgery.
The Global Gynaecological Oncology Surgical Outcomes Collaborative (GO SOAR) will develop a network of gynaecological oncology surgeons, surgical departments and other interested parties that will have the long-term ability to collaborate on outcome studies. The aims of the Collaborative are to: 1. Set the research agenda through research prioritisation in gynaecological oncology surgical outcomes. 2. Gather high quality data via a centralised database accessible to all sites that perform gynaecological oncology surgery. 3. Build sustainable international research by producing protocols/guidelines. 4. Train the researchers and leaders of tomorrow by providing open access to all GO SOAR training materials. The Collaborative will lead to several studies. The first GO SOAR collaborative study (GO SOAR1) will evaluate international variation of post-operative morbidity and mortality following gynaecological oncology surgery between country groups defined by the human development index (HDI).
Determine and compare prospectively the incidence of rhinological adverse events during pituitary surgery with or without nasoseptal flap
Surgical site infection (SSI) is the main complication of surgery. The prevention of superficial SSI by topical prophylaxis is controversial. Human studies on wound lavage with topical solutions (saline, antiseptics or antibiotics) are old and do not yield conclusive results. In experimental conditions there is evidence in favor of the efficiency wound lavage with saline and antibiotic solutions. Clinical studies are needed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of antibiotic lavage. Objective. Study of the efficacy of topical antibiotic therapy in the prevention of SSI in patients undergoing abdominal surgery with different risk of infection. Method. Project comprising several randomized double-blind clinical trials with a common methodology. Procedures with varying degrees of contamination, as emergency abdominal surgery, cesareans and complex abdominal wall reconstructions will be studied. Follow-up will be 30 days after operation. Data will be collected anonymously and the relationships between the variables will be analyzed using Pearson's chi-square, survival analysis and analysis of risk factors as appropriate. The effect of topical antibiotic on hospital stay, resistance patterns in SSI, and antibiotic serum levels will be analyzed.
Heart rate variability reflects the autonomic nervous system on the intrinsic activity of sinus node cells. Sympathetic hyperactivity is an adaptation to stress, while parasympathetic hyperactivity is present at rest. Thus, any variability in the heart frequency rate reflects variations in sympathetic and parasympathetic components in the autonomic nervous system. Failure to return to normal or a reduction in the variability of the heart rate in the postoperative period is correlated with complications in colorectal surgery.
Background: Recommendations for peri-operative management in patients with implanted cardiac electronic devices (CIED) are often based on older data from case reports and small collectives. Objective: To evaluate the peri-operative management and outcome of patients with implanted CIED undergoing non-CIED related surgery or catheter-interventional procedures in clinical routine. Study design: bi-center, non-randomized, observational registry, retrospective data-collection, on-going prospective patient enrollment, descriptive statistics Primary endpoint: number and type of peri-operative adverse device related events (ADE) Secondary endpoints: pre-interventional data (patient characteristics, data from CIED interrogation); peri-interventional data (type of surgery/intervention, anesthesiology techniques, any AE), postinterventional data (data from post-interventional CIED interrogation, need for reprogramming / device revision). Inclusion criteria: implanted CIED, non-CIED related surgical or catheter-based intervention, peri-procedural CIED interrogation, age >18 years Exclusion criteria: no implanted CIED, no data from any peri-procedural CIED interrogation available Patient enrollment: retrospectively beginning from 2008, further on-going prospective inclusion Sample size: For the observational study, there is no pre-specified sample size. Data from more than 500 patients undergoing > 700 interventions are expected.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate whether celecoxib (CELEBREX) is equivalent to acetaminophen-codeine-caffeine (TYLENOL# 3) for the management of pain after primary elective open septorhinoplasty with osteotomies. Secondary objectives include comparison of adverse medication effects and complications (e.g., bleeding events and bruising) that occur postoperatively. Half of the study participants will receive celecoxib, and half will receive acetaminophen-codeine-caffeine. We hypothesize that both interventions will exhibit no difference in pain control or postoperative bleeding, but that participants taking CELEBREX will experience less medication-related side effects and less bruising postoperatively.
The objective of this ongoing randomized controlled trial is to examine whether the use of intra-operative NIR(near infrared) camera can reduce the number of patients who experience transient or persistent hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy and completion thyroidectomy, both in malignant and benign thyroid disease.
Randomized controlled trial in which two different laparoscopic systems: standard 2D and Olympus VISERA Elite II 3D will be compared in terms of laparoscopic skills, length of surgery, intraoperative complications and surgeon's fatigue in a group of senior surgeons and senior residents will be measured when performing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
