Filter by:The randomized controlled study which compare the efficacy outcomes (reducing blood loss and drainage output in patients) in patients undergoing single-level minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) and received topical tranexamic acid injection in the surgical site to those who received placebo injection.

Trigger finger is a common pathology in the hand. Patients suffer from pain and depending on which tasks, patients have difficulty to perform them. Its treatment in initial and less serious phases includes conservative measures, but failure of these may require releasing the trigger finger with surgery. The surgical technique performed for trigger finger is the opening of the A1 pulley, the skin incisions used for this surgery are various (transverse, longitudinal, oblique). Trigger finger surgery presents good results in terms of resolution, but complications may also occur. The reason for this study is to assess whether there are functional differences using the Dash scale when we perform a transverse or longitudinal incision in trigger finger surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness and safety of non-dressing (exposed wound) versus dressing techniques in postoperative wound management for patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does non-dressing of postoperative wounds in gastrointestinal tumor surgery provide equivalent or better wound healing compared to traditional dressing techniques? 2. Can non-dressing of postoperative wounds reduce patient pain and healthcare costs? Participants in this study, who are diagnosed with gastrointestinal tumors and undergoing surgery, will be randomly assigned to either the non-dressing group or the dressing group. The non-dressing group will have their surgical wounds left exposed after initial postoperative care, while the dressing group will receive regular wound dressing changes every 48-72 hours. Researchers will compare these two groups to see if there are differences in the rate of wound complications, pain levels, and overall healthcare costs. This study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for postoperative wound care in gastrointestinal tumor surgeries, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing medical expenses.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of the investigational device, Regenn® Negative Pressure Therapy System (Regenn® Therapy), a form of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), in the post-operative surgical wounds of patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion surgeries. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - The device-related serious adverse event rate. - Patient post-operative pain as assessed using a validated pain measurement scoring system. - The number and type of adverse events. - The rate of delayed seroma formation. Participants will - Be screened for their suitability to participate in the investigational study using questions about their health, medical history, and current medications. - Undergo a physical exam, an assessment of patient vital signs and routine blood analyses. - Complete an Informed Consent Form if selected to participate in the investigational study. - Be randomly assigned to the different study arms. - Not change the operation of their respective device or to disturb components of their device. - Notify their surgeon or designated healthcare provider should they have any questions or encounter any issues with their device. - Attend two post-operative visits at approximately one month and three months.
This study aims to prospectively evaluate the relationship between changes in EEG and hormonal responses induced by endotracheal intubation and surgical incision following general anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to generate safety and performance data for 3M™ Topical Tissue Adhesive. Enrolled subjects with qualifying trauma lacerations or surgical incisions will be randomized to receive 3M™ Topical Tissue Adhesive or Histoacryl® Blue Topical Skin Adhesive with follow-up visits at 10 days and 30 days after application of tissue adhesive.
This study will compare the cosmetic scar result from the use of scalpel, electrocautery, and pulsed electron avalanche knife (PEAK) PlasmaBlade (PPB) for the initial skin incision for total mastectomy procedures without immediate breast reconstruction. It is hypothesized that there will be no significant difference in mastectomy scar cosmesis. The purpose and objectives of this study are: 1. To evaluate and compare the cosmetic scar result from the use of scalpel, standard electrocautery, or PEAK PlasmaBlade for initial incision for total mastectomy procedures without immediate breast reconstruction. 2. To inform future equipment choices for breast surgery including potential elimination of scalpels and their attendant risks.
Periodontal plastic surgery has been performed successfully for a long time in the treatment of gingival recessions and mucogingival defects. Epithelial and connective tissue grafts are considered the "gold standard" treatment for gingival recession due to their biocompatibility and long-term stability, however they require tissue harvesting from a donor area, usually the palate, increasing patient discomfort. Various hemostatic and healing agents have been used in conjunction with suturing to speed healing and reduce complications associated with this procedure, such as bleeding and pain. These include absorbable synthetic collagen, absorbable gelatin sponges, oxidized regenerated cellulose, ferric subsulfate, and more recently, cyanoacrylate cements and platelet-rich fibrin. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are synthesized as monomers by condensation of a cyanoacetate with formaldehyde in the presence of catalysts and the adhesive film is developed by rapid polymerization caused by hydroxide groups to the surfaces to be adhered. The properties of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives of greatest interest in the surgical field are excellent hemostasis, rapid tissue adhesion, and possible bacteriostatic qualities.
Surgical site infections (SSI) are a frequent complication in abdominal surgery. SSI lead to worse outcomes for the affected patients and significantly higher healthcare costs. Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) consists of a non-invasive, vacuum-assisted system that applies negative pressure to closed surgical incisions. It is currently unclear, if ciNPWT reduces SSI in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. This trial will investigate the effect of ciNPWT on SSI in abdominal surgery.
