Filter by:To evaluate the efficacy of full thickness placental allograft use in Microdiscectomy application. To evaluate post-microdiscectomy reherniation rate in patients treated with full-thickness placental allografts.
The patients will be randomized into two groups of 100 subjects each one. One arm will be randomized to treatment with a negative topical pressure system (Sistema Prevena ™); while the other arm ("control group") will be randomized to treatment with standard medication with sterile gauzes and a TNT patch or medicated patch as normal traditional medication in use. The medications with a negative topical pressure system (Sistema Prevena ™) will be applied directly in the Operating Room. Thereafter the medication will be checked in the inpatient ward after 48 hours from the intervention, evaluating the possible absorption of exudate on the surface. If no absorption are detected within 48 hours, the medication won't be removed. The medication will be renewed in the 7th day (± 2 days) post-operative; and to follow every 7 (± 2 days) until the points are removed. If the wound continues to progress towards recovery, the protocol will continue until discharge and / or rehabilitation and / or surgery. For each evaluation the photograph of the medication must be taken (which will be deprived of all the identifying elements of the patient).
Laparoscopic total colectomy (LTC) is an accepted surgical procedure for several colonic pathologies. Additionally, specimen extraction through the natural orifices is an emerging method when combined with the totally laparoscopic procedures. Our observations on natural orifice surgery was promising . In our daily surgical practice, investigators prefer the intracorporeal anastomosis and this study was conducted to compare the specimen extraction sites after LTC. Here investigators aimed to compare the results of conventional and natural orifice specimen extractions (NOSE) after totally LTCs.
The purpose of this study is to learn if using a Quadratus Lumborum (QL) plane injection technique (also called a "nerve block") that numbs the nerves going to the abdominal area improve pain control after surgery compared to administration of local anesthetic directly to the surgical incision. The QL block technique uses a numbing solution (local anesthetics) that is injected next to nerves located along muscles in the back to reduce pain. This block will not affect movement in the leg and/or make the legs weak. Some institutions, including Duke, use the QL block for patients having various abdominal surgeries, with the hope of providing good pain relief combined with improved mobility after surgery.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an oxytetracycline impregnated gauze drain on the incidence of alveolar osteitis (AO) and postoperative pain during the first week after mandibular third molar surgery.
Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH) is an accepted surgical procedure for several right sided colonic pathologies. Recently the advantages of the intracorporeal ileotransversostomy over the extracorporeal anastomosis is appearing in the literature. Additionally, specimen extraction through the natural orifices is an emerging method when combined with the totally laparoscopic procedures. Our observations on natural orifice surgery was promising . In our daily surgical practice, investigators prefer the intracorporeal anastomosis and this study was conducted to compare the specimen extraction sites after LRH. Here investigators aimed to compare the results of conventional and natural orifice specimen extractions (NOSE) after totally LRHs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of topical antibiotic irrigation (gentamycin) and its ability to reduce surgical site infections in midfacial fracture surgery compared to sterile normal saline (NS). Previously, this study evaluated a different antibiotic, bacitracin, but in April of 2020 the study was modified to use gentamycin rather than bacitracin, after the FDA warning of the toxic side effects of bacitracin and because the hospital where the study was conducted removed bacitracin from its formulary.
Context: The hyperglycemia is an important independent risk factor for the Surgical Site Infection (SSI) development among liver transplantation recipients. Objective: To evaluate the effects of an intensive postoperative protocol of blood glucose management on the surgical site infection incidence among liver transplantation recipients. Material and methods: It is an open-label clinical trial that will be randomized into 2 groups of blood glucose (BG) control: patients will undergo BG control regular in the facility chosen to research development (BG targeted 130-180 mg/dL) and the second one will undergo intensive BG control (BG targeted 80 - 130 mg/dL) until patients are eating at least 50% of a full liquid diet or receiving bolus tube feedings. A computer program will be employed to generate the randomized schedule that will be put into sequentially numbered opaque sealed envelopes by an external expert to research. A finger prick device will be used to measure the blood glucose. A blinded adjudication committee to analyse the primary endpoint SSI will adopt the SSI criteria given by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The research proposal will be registered on ClinicalTrials.gov database. Central tendency and dispersion measures, Pearson's χ2 test, Fisher's Exact Test, Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney and survival analysis by Kaplan-Meier estimated and Log-rank test will be used for data analyses. Expected outcomes: The results of the study should contribute to establishing better clinical practices on glycemic control in the liver transplantation recipient's postoperative period aiming to reduce SSI incidence and its associated morbidity and mortality.
This study is to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of traditional laparoscopy-assisted surgery and total laparoscopic surgery with no incision (natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, NOSES) for colorectal cancer and to find a better surgical method for patients.
This study aims to asses whether the rate of surgical wound infections in vascular surgery procedures involving exposure of the proximal femoral artery can be reduced using a different skin closure technique.
