Filter by:Conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) for colorectal cancer has been demonstrated to be safe and feasible and present minimally invasive benefits including faster recovery, reduced postoperative pain and shorter hospital stay, also acquiring comparable oncologic outcomes with open surgery. To achieve further minimally invasive outcomes, SILS plus one port surgery was attempted by some surgeons. Preliminary results showed that SILS+1 could achieve better minimally invasive benefits than CLS while preserving oncologic feasibility. Till now, ERAS has been practiced in colorectal cancer surgery for approximately 20 years. Studies have proven that ERAS is safe and significantly improved the recovery course of patients during perioperative period, meanwhile, the expense could be greatly reduced. Based on ERAS studies protocols and SILS+1 trials, investigators tried to combine SILS+1 with ERAS, hopefully to provide patients with more safe, economic, feasible and rapid surgery and perioperative strategies.
We aim to prospectively evaluate the risk factors that can play a role before, during or after the surgical period.
Propionibacterium acnes is a pathogen commonly identified in postoperative shoulder infections. A recent study has shown that P. acnes is likely to be disseminated in the operating field from the subcutaneous layer by the manipulation of soft tissues by the surgeon and the instruments. Disinfection of the subcutaneous tissue seems to significantly reduce contamination of the operating field during primary shoulder surgery. This study seeks to assess the efficacy of disinfection of the subcutaneous tissue compared to dissection with an electrosurgical unit on P. acnes contamination during primary shoulder surgery.
the aim of work is to compare the early postoperative and late term wound complication rates between the scalpel and electrosurgery in patients with benign gynecological conditions undergoing abdominal incisions.
This is a prospective cohort pilot study. The primary purpose is to report the perfusion status of the surgical field in at risk surgical incisions. The secondary purposes are to describe the relationship between perfusion status and wound healing status and complications, and to describe the relationship between infrared digital thermography perfusion readings and the timing of propofol infusion. The research intervention will be photographs taken of the wound on the injured extremity, with a Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) camera, for the purpose of assessing perfusion status and skin temperature at the surgical site.
The overarching goal of this research is to assess whether the post-operative use of closed-incision Negative Pressure Therapy (ciNPT) accelerates healing of surgical wounds, improves surgical outcomes, and reduces the rate of local complications in high-risk, obese, post-bariatric patients undergoing abdominal body-contouring procedures (abdominal panniculectomy or "abdominoplasty") compared to standard wound care. The investigators postulate that ciNPT can cost-effectively improve outcomes and standard of post-surgical care in this specific category of patients. This hypothesis will be tested through a prospective, interventional, case-control, randomized clinical trial.
To investigate whether pancreatic cancer is the cause of heterotopic ossification of abdominal incision.
Objective and Principle: To evaluate whether enlarging the incision can reduce corneal complications associated with phacoemulsification with regular 2.2 mm incision. The aim of this study: To evaluate whether the technique of enlarging internal incision could reduce the incidence of descemet membrane detachment after 2.2 mm incision phacoemulsification. Secondary outcome: To evaluate whether the technique of enlarged internal incision can reduce other corneal complications such as corneal edema and astigmatism after 2.2 mm incision phacoemulsification. Study Design: A prospective randomized controlled study
The post operative routine after Oculoplastic Surgery includes usage of cold compressions for symptomatic relief and decreasing of the edema and local hematomas in the first few days after the surgery. Khat (Catha edulis) is a plant that is used mainly for chewing and has a known stimulating effect, some patients report major improvement after including these leaves in the compressions they use after surgery. Khat contains the chemical ingredients Cathine and Cathinone, which are amphetamine-like alkaloids and probably the main contributors for its active effects. Our main goal is to use compressions that include the Khat leaves and check their effect on reducing the edema and hematomas after oculoplastic surgery.
