Filter by:To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of 10% povidone-iodine in eliminating nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. To determine whether a more convenient, single-dose, pre-operative 10% povidone-iodine (PI) application is effective in reducing nasal carriage of S. aureus and MRSA. We expect a statistically significant decrease in S. aureus/MRSA colonization in nasal cultures taken perioperatively after intervention in patients who received pretreatment with PI as compared to patients who received normal saline (NS).
Homemade and commercialized single-assess port devices are two kinds of port devices commonly used for single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy. This study aimed to compare these two port devices in terms of short-term surgical outcomes and medical costs.
The aim of the study is to compare functional results and complications of 3 methods of cataract phacoemulsification: bimanual 1.4 mm cataract surgery (B-MICS), coaxial 1.8 mm cataract surgery (C-MICS) and coaxial 2.4 mm small incision cataract surgery.
Interventional Study of the novel clinical application of SERI surgical silk scaffold affixed with dermaFLEX medical adhesive as a wound dressing, compared to two separate current standard of care for surgical incision closure devices: Prineo Dermabond and 3M Steri-Strip. Both components of the silk wound dressing prototype are FDA approved materials for other indications. This study seeks to gain insight of functionality of silk as a wound coverage material and determine variations of clinical outcomes in comparison to the synthetic mesh/cyanoacrylate device (Prineo Dermabond) and the nonwoven rayon/acrylate device (3M Steri-Strip) commonly implemented as a surgical wound dressing.
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 incisional hernia repair after abdominal surgery. Method. Randomized double-blind clinical trial comparing two groups of topical prophylaxis. Follow-up will be 90 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.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of hypothermic compression bandaging versus conventional compression bandaging, for the prevention of surgical wound hematoma of cardiac implementable electronic devices in patients undergoing chronic oral anticoagulant therapy and/or oral antiplatelet therapy.
The aim of this project is to determine the effect of reading the story book, which is considered within the scope of the pedagogically approved research that introduces the surgical environment before the surgical intervention in children, on the pain and anxiety of the child. The project is a randomized controlled trial. The population of the research will be children between the ages of 4 and 6 who come to Atatürk University Health Research and Application Center Pediatric Surgery Clinic between March and September 2022 for treatment. The research sample; children and parents who are hospitalized in the clinic on the dates specified by the probabilistic sampling method and meet the research criteria, willing to participate in the research. "Survey Form", "Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS)" and "Child Fear Scale" will be used in data collection.
This is randomized controlled double-blinded trial comparing the scar outcomes of diathermy versus scalpel surgical incisions in the neck. It was conducted in humans in an Afro-Caribbean (black) population.
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.
Various newer techniques have been proposed to enhance analgesia in upper abdominal region. The subcostal transverse abdominis plane (SCTAP) block is the deposition of local anesthetic in the transverse abdominis plane inferior and parallel to the costal margin. There is a growing consensus that the SCTAP block provides better analgesia for upper abdominal incisions than the traditional transverse abdominis plane block. The External oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block is a novel technique reported by Hamilton et al. performed EOPB by administering LA superior or deep of the external oblique muscle from the sixth intercostal space leading to the blockage of thoracoabdominal nerves at T6-T10. It has several attractive aspects such as easy sono-anatomy ribs one strip of muscle so easy to demonstrate even in obese patients, there is a bony backstop, easy expandable fascial plane that can accommodate a catheter and it is shallow block with no big vessels nearby.
