Filter by:Between 2000 and 2016 258 distal pancreatectomies were performed at our University Hospital which were included in our analysis. Pasireotide was used in between July 2014 and April 2016. Patients received 900-ug pasireotide administered twice daily perioperatively. We analyzed patients who received octreotide treatment separately. Complications such as fistulas (POPF), delayed gas-tric emptying (DGE), postoperative hemorrhage (PPH), reoperations and mortality were recorded and analyzed 90 days postoperatively
Aim of Study: Adverse effects from noise pollution in operation theatres have been throughly demonstrated. We assessed the impact of a noise reduction program in paediatric surgery. Methods: A prospective controlled study on 156 operations performed by 16 surgeons was conducted. The sound levels before and after a noise reduction program based on education, rules and technical devices (Sound Ear tm) were assessed. Endpoints were spatially resolved sound levels matched by the surgeon's biometric (saliva cortisol, electrodermal activity) and behavioural stress responses (questionnaires). These were correlated with mission protocols and NoiSeQ for individual noise sensitivity.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand if women undergoing surgery for a suspected gynecologic malignancy are interested in participating in a Mindful Movement and Breathing program and what the effects of this program are on women and the surgery-related symptoms they experience. Mindful Movement and Breathing programs may be effective for easing distress, post-surgical pain, and other symptoms of surgical procedures.
Laparotomy performed for both emergency of elective surgery may by complicated by intrabdominal collection, anastomotic leakage, infarction and others. This conditions are able to induce peritoneal inflammation. Inflamed peritoneum are able to produce excess of lactate that the investigators can measure by collecting fluid from peritoneal drainage. Drainage were left in abdomen for monitoring intrabdominal condition until the passage of stool or flatus. Minimum drainage of serum is present daily also in uncomplicated post operative period. Serum lactate relates with increased systemic anaerobic metabolism such as SIRS, sepsis and systemic hypoperfusion and it is easy to measure with a blood gas analysis. The investigators hypothesized that the increases of peritoneal/ serum lactate ratio could be an earlier, sensible, non-invasive, and economical marker of post surgical complications. The decision whether and when to perform a relaparotomy in secondary peritonitis is largely subjective and based on professional experience. Actually no existing scoring system aids in this decision. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that this ratio could be and useful tool for the surgeon in this decisional process.
