Filter by:Purpose of the study: To evaluate whether the SSB is safe, useful, beneficial and effective in drilling, cutting and removal of bone tissue in neurosurgical and spine procedures.
Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CE-IOUS) plays an increasingly important role in the surgical therapy planning of primary liver lesions as well as liver metastases. The present study was designed to evaluate the significance of CE-IOUS by specificity and sensitivity and particularly the impact it exerts on the surgical strategy. A secondary aim was assessing the outcome relevance of surgeries influenced by CE-IOUS.
Immunonutrition (IN) appears to reduce infective complications and in-hospital length of stay (LOS) after gastrointestinal surgery. More specifically, it seems to be beneficial also in gastric cancer surgery. Potential benefits of combining preoperative IN (PIN) with protocols of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in reducing LOS in laparoscopic total gastrectomy are yet to be determined.
Objectives This study investigated the effect of animation education developed for respiratory rehabilitation among sleeve gastrectomy patients on patient care results. Design This is a randomized controlled study. Method A total of 66 patients who were going to have sleeve gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups each including 33 participants. The intervention group was provided with animation education. The control group received routine face-to-face education. Postoperative risk of respiratory complications, presence of dyspnea, nausea, and vomiting, frequency of postoperative respiratory exercises, and satisfaction with postoperative respiratory education were examined. Patients' pain and sleep quality were examined one day before the surgery and on the postoperative first and fifth days.
The objective of the study is to provide evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the Maestro Platform for surgical assistance in abdominal laparoscopic surgery.
Ulnar nerve compressive injury due to cubital tunnel syndrome is very common. Because of the long distance to the target muscles in the hand, functional outcome in severe cases even with decompression surgery is often poor. Therefore, alternative treatment options are much needed. Recently, anterior interosseous nerve reverse end to side (RETS) transfer to the ulnar nerve above the wrist has gained popularity. However, whether a substantial portion of motor axons in the donor nerve are indeed capable of breaching the connective tissues in the ulnar nerve to reach the target muscles in the hand remains untested. To answer this crucial question, in this study the investigators plan to recruit 60 cubital tunnel syndrome patients with marked motor axonal loss who will undergo the RETS procedure. Motor unit number estimation will be done on the ulnar and anterior interosseous nerves at baseline and repeated at 3 and 6 months post operatively. Hand motor function and disability scores will also be tested at the same time points. Given the importance of this critical question and the potential utilities of distal nerve transfers, this should be a worthwhile effort.
This study aimed to develop and interpret a machine learning model to predict red blood cell (RBC) transfusion.
Urological surgery patients will have their blood glucose measured before, during, and after surgery. Blood glucose will be measured using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device. We hypothesize the presence of a hyperglycemic state towards the end of surgery due to increased metabolic demand.
A retrospective, population-based analysis examining the rates of robotic surgery between the years of 2009 - 2018.
Determine the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic on routine targeted surgeries. Five surgical procedures were considered : cataract surgery, hip and knee arthoplasties, coronary revascularisation by angioplasty and definitive cardiac stimulation. The objective of the study is to quantify changes of these procedures in 2020 and in 2021 (up to June) compared to 2019 taking into account their annual evolution and according to the type of operation (primary or reoperation/revision) and emergency status, if applicable.
