Filter by:Major abdominal surgery is associated with significant complications which may lead to morbidity and mortality. Pain experienced after surgery affects the recovery from surgery. Our study aims to evaluate the current gold standard of PCA morphine infusion against a continuous wound infusion (CLoWI). The use of CLoWI negates the side-effects of opioids, and will be the first randomised controlled trial to compare PCA (Morphine) with CLoWI-LA (Ropivacaine).
Further studies are needed to establish the effects of WALANT in performing most common hand surgeries, in relation to its clinical outcomes and intraoperative blood loss. Therefore, this study aims to identify the best interval time to perform elective hand surgeries using WALANT technique, document clinical outcomes and identify potential complications
A study of the first clinical use in humans of a novel NPWT system (npSIMS) to assess the suitability, safety and efficacy of the system for the management of closed surgical wounds
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.
Evaluation of neuroplasticity of pain pathways and corneal afferent nerve regeneration following corneal crosslinking (CXL) in keratoconus patients using fMRI and corneal In Vivo Confocal Microscopy (IVCM).
A clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a mouthwash containing Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycine in the healing of post-extraction sites of wisdom teeth by film forming action.
The aim of the study is: to evaluate the efficacy of two post-operative dressings in the management of the surgical wounds in patients who received a knee prosthesis
The objective of this prospective enrollment study is to collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the CoMatryx Surgical Collagen powder at a minimum 1-year follow-up and compare it to a historical control group who did not receive the product at the time of surgery. The primary objective is to confirm safety and clinical benefits of the product. This will be assessed by recording the rate of wound healing and incidence and frequency of wound care related complications. Relationship of complications to the product should be specified.
TITLE: "Incidence of parastomal hernia: Randomized clinical trial comparing the longitudinal fascial incision (" Hepworth hitch ") vs. cruciate incision in the exteriorization of a end colostomy ". DESIGN: Randomized, open and parallel clinical trial so patients will be assigned to the cruciate incision group or longitudinal incision with a 1: 1 allocation ratio. POPULATION: Patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery a definitive end colostomy. OBJECTIVES: The main objective is to compare the parastomal hernia rate diagnosed by imaging at 2 years after surgery. Secondary objectives are: 1. Clinically relevant parastomal hernia rate by physical examination 2 years after surgery. 2. Incidence of postoperative complications related to the stoma (dehiscence, retraction, stenosis, necrosis, surgical revision, prolapse and special needs of care of the stoma in the immediate or late postoperative period); 3) Incidence of postoperative complications assessed according to the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) scale. 4) Ease / difficulty in the management of stomatherapy devices by patients using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERVENTION: An end colostomy without placement of a prophylactic mesh will be performed in all patients. In the group 1A, a longitudinal incision will be made in the anterior rectus fascia and in the posterior fascia, with two Prolene sutures at the ends of the incision of the anterior aponeurosis. In patients of group 1B, a cruciate incision will be made in the anterior rectus fascia, as well as in the posterior fascia. DURATION OF THE STUDY: The expected duration of the study is 3 years. PATIENT FOLLOW UP TIME: The planned follow-up time is 2 years. EXPECTED RECRUITMENT TIME: 12 months.
There are many different types of mini-invasive approaches to aortic surgery. Ministernotomy and anterior right minithoracotomy are the two main techniques applied for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement, but if one of them is superior in terms of patient outcomes it is not still clear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the immediate and long-term outcomes of these two techniques.
