Filter by:About 2% of pregnant women are going through from surgery during pregnancy. These are mainly represented by emergencies like abdominal conditions such as appendicitis. Pregnancy raises the issue of possible diagnostic confusion associated with operational difficulties related to a gravid uterus, i.e. increased in volume, and possible induced obstetric complications like premature delivery or miscarriage. late. The management of these patients is therefore complex and the literature is poor on the subject.
Authors hypothesize that "no-touch" saphenous vein as I graft is superior over conventional "no-touch" saphenous vein as free graft in the incidence of graft patency.
Risk factors associated with perioperative anxiety in parents of pediatric patients undergoing thoracic surgery are unknown. It is therefore necessary to identify them in order to better understand, above all, modifiable factors. This will allow the implementation of psychological interventions tailored to the individual needs of parents to strengthen their coping mechanisms before surgery, and thus facilitate the recovery process of their children after surgery. The purpose of the study is: 1. assessment of the level of anxiety experienced by parents before and after thoracic surgery, 2. assessment of risk factors for parents' perioperative anxiety, 3. assessment of the relationship between parents' perioperative anxiety and satisfaction with postoperative analgesia
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) via retroperitoneal and transperitoneal approaches.
The primary aim of the HIPPO study is to identify compliance to audit standards (pre-operative and intraoperative) standards for the repair and management of inguinal hernia. A prospective, multicentre, cohort study will be delivered by NIHR Unit on Global Surgery globally. Mini-teams of up to five collaborators per data collection period will prospectively collect data over a continuous 28-day period at each participating centre. This will be on consecutive patients undergoing elective and/or emergency primary inguinal hernia surgery, with follow-up to 30 postoperative days.
The aim of the study is to investigate if iv iron formulation improve recovery after surgery with blood loss. Post-operative anaemia is a common debilitating condition after major surgery due to a combination of preoperative iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and per-operative blood loss. Median blood loss following hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) and complex aortic surgery typically range between 500-1000 ml. Bioavailability of iron may be a rate limiting factor in erythropoiesis in anaemia secondary to blood loss. For the IRIS trial, it is hypothesized that intravenously (iv) administered Ferric Carboxymaltose after a per-operative blood loss of 400-4000 ml, improves post-operative recovery and reduces the RBC transfusion. Patients scheduled for elective HPB surgery or complex aortic surgery will be screened for eligibility and recruited into the study. By the end of the surgical procedure, if blood loss is estimated to 400-4000 ml, the patient is randomized 1:1 to iv 1000 mg Ferric Carboxymaltose or placebo. The primary endpoint is a composite of death, number of RBC transfusions, post-operative severe anemia (Hb <80 g/L) and FACT-An Quality of life (QoL) five weeks after surgery, assessed by win ratio. The trial will also examine effects on; a) levels of Hb; b) markers of erythropoiesis and iron bioavailability; c) post-operative complications; d) post-operative recovery; e) performance status; f) subgroups based on type of surgery and degree of anemia and iron deficiency; g) re-admissions; h) long term outcome based on patient medical records and i) how post-operative recovery differs between those with low (<400 ml), high (400-4000 ml) and very high (>4000 ml) per-operative blood loss. Recruitment will continue until 338 patients are randomized or 304 have completed the five week follow up The coordinating center of the trial is the Department of Surgery at Uppsala University Hospital. Participating sites are also Linköping University Hospital and Lund University Hospital, all in Sweden. Other sites may be added.
A prospective, single-arm, open-label phase 2 study that evaluates the efficacy and safety of induction Lorlatinib in stage III non-small cell lung cancer and explores the clinical feasibility of dynamic ctDNA and multidisciplinary assessment in guiding local treatments.
The aim of this study is to determine whether the fasting duration required for patients after consuming oral jelly is comparable to that after consuming water, prior to elective surgery. International guidelines for perioperative fasting recommend abstaining from clear fluids for 2 hours to minimize the risk of regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia. However, there are no specific recommendations regarding the perioperative management of jelly consumption. Current understanding emphasizes the benefits of minimizing preoperative fasting time, including preventing dehydration and metabolic complications like ketoacidosis, as well as potentially enhancing patient satisfaction. Oral jelly consumption may offer advantages by improving preoperative hydration and providing some nutritional support prior to procedures. This crossover study will involve 25 adult volunteers. In the first phase, participants will be randomly assigned to either oral intake of water or jelly, followed by the opposite intervention in the second phase. Gastric content and volume will be assessed using gastric ultrasound.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, characterized by pain and physical disability. More than 10% of persons > 55 years have symptomatic OA, primarily involving the knees. Knee arthroplasty is considered a successful orthopaedic procedure in progressed knee OA (KOA) with severe pain and disability where non-surgical treatments have been tried. It has long been recognized that injury to the body, either from trauma or surgery causes an inflammatory response. As TKA is considered a more invasive procedure compared with UKA, TKA and UKA may not trigger inflammatory reactions of the same magnitude. Differences in inflammatory response between TKA and UKA could help explain why differences in outcome are present, despite both procedures being technically successful. Even though knee arthroplasty is a very common and successful procedure, there are no existing studies comparing the invasiveness of TKA and UKA. As morbidity and mortality rates differ between the groups, the aim of this prospective cohort study is to investigate whether the post-operative inflammatory responses differ between TKA and UKA, and secondarily whether this difference can explain the difference in outcome between the two procedures. The investigators hypothesize that TKA generates a larger postoperative systemic inflammatory response compared with UKA due to more extensive periarticular soft tissue and bone trauma. The study's primary outcome is C-reactive Protein (CRP) measured in blood 24 hours after surgery (22-26 hours after surgery ~ day 1). Participants which are candidates for either a TKA or a UKA will through serial blood test measurement have their postoperative systemic inflammatory response measured. This further will be correlated to the clinical and functional outcomes over a 2-years postoperative follow-up period.
A retrospective review was performed for consecutive patients (from 2019 to 2021) who underwent salvage surgeries following failed endovascular therapies for splanchnic artery aneurysms in a tertiary referral center. Salvage operations include total aneurysmectomy with vascular reconstruction and partial aneurysmectomy with directly closing bleeders from the intraluminal space of the aneurysms.
