Filter by:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in a quaternary level university hospital of the Costa Rican public health system. The study included all patients aged 12 years and older who required emergency surgery by the hospital's emergency surgery and trauma service, admitted through the hospital's emergency service.
The aim of the present study is to prospectively compare oncological and functional results of penile radical inguinal lymphadenectomy performed with an open versus videolaparoscopic technique. The main questions it aims to answer are: evaluated the oncological and functional results of inguinal lymphadenectomy performed with minimally invasive techniques using videolaparoscopic instruments vs open inguinal lymphadenectomy according to the standard technique. Participants will undergo treatment of the primary lesion and contextual inguinal lymphadenectomy: - Groin 1: open lymphadenectomy performed by a surgical team with extensive experience in traditional surgery - Groin 2: laparoscopic lymphadenectomy performed by a surgical team with extensive experience in minimally invasive surgery. The results of these procedures will be prospectively collected and compared.
The purpose of this study is to find differences in rates of surgical site infections following emergency laparotomy with the use of two different incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT)devices.
This is a single-center retrospective cohort study on cancer patients who underwent emergency ostomy. Our objective was to compare the incidence of surgical complications as well as the length of hospital stay among three different techniques for ostomy confection (laparotomy, the conventional local approach, described as trephination, and laparoscopy).
Surgical site complications generate a series of consequences that prolong hospital stay, increase interventions and procedures, and consequently considerably increase healthcare costs. Hence, the importance of studying measures to reduce these complications and the most feared of them is surgical site infection. The objective of the study is to analyze the complications of the surgical site in a group of participante with risk factors for developing them after undergone abdominal surgery in the period described.
This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) applied to the extraction socket after impacted mandibular third molar surgery with subjective and objective parameters. A total of 48 patients who had fully impacted wisdom teeth in bilateral and similar positions were included in the study. The control group was formed with the standard extraction of the lower third molars, and the PRF group was formed with local PRF application in addition to standard impacted tooth surgery (n=96). The anti-inflammatory activity of PRF on postoperative 2nd and 7th days was evaluated subjectively by clinical parameters and objectively by biochemical parameters. Subjective parameters were pain assesment, swelling measurements on the face and limitation of mouth opening. Objective data is the analysis of serum values and anti-inflammatory markers in the blood.
The aim of this prospective study is to analyze the postoperative paresthesias experienced in patients who undergo bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO) using an ultrasonic saw, versus a reciprocating saw. Patients included in the study are ages 15-45 scheduled to undergo BSSO surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. One side of the patient's mandible will be instrumented with either the Stryker Sonopet ultrasonic saw or traditional reciprocating saw, while the other side will receive the remaining intervention (determined via randomization on the day of surgery). Patient paresthesias will then be analyzed on each side for 3 months postoperatively (at postoperative days: 1, 7, 14, 28, and 84). Sensory examinations will be carried out by blinded examiners using von Frey hairs and two point discrimination testing. Patients will also subjectively rate their sensation on each side. The results will then be analyzed to determine if patient paresthesias, including the severity and duration, differed depending on which instrument was used, the ultrasonic or reciprocating saw.
Thoracic complications directly or indirectly consequence of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (including either pathologies strictly related to the infection, or iatrogenic effects of therapeutic attempts to treat it) have been described during the pandemic. Many of the above conditions often require a surgical approach but, based on published data reporting high early postoperative morbidity and mortality, many experts initially advised against any referral to surgery in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, the issue is if salvage surgical approach should be always excluded or could be considered when it represents the only remaining effective option. In the absence of solid data and recommendations, this is a demanding challenge for thoracic surgeons. The investigators have coordinated a multicenter study to collect the experience of several worldwide high-volume thoracic surgery departments. Their objective is to investigate efficacy and safety of surgery in COVID-19 patients who developed thoracic complications that required operative management.
To test the applicability of the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) in an LMIC setting and to compare the prevalence and severity of complications in patients <60 and ≥60 years of age a retrospective medical records review is used.
