Filter by:Laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery is an intra-abdominal surgery that is frequently used in the treatment of gallbladder-related pathologies. Compared to open surgery, the cost, the risk of bleeding, the risk of surgical site infection are lower, the need for hospitalization is shorter, and the recovery is rapid. Adequate pain relief is very important after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Inadequate analgesia in post-operative period has been associated with pain-related cognitive dysfunction, atelectasis, thromboembolic events, increased surgery-related stress response, prolonged hospital stay, and chronic pain in patients. Acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioid analgesics, intraperitoneal washing, local anesthesia infiltration and various regional anesthesia techniques can be used for appropriate analgesia. Studies have shown that subcostal transversus abdominis block has good analgesic efficacy in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries. In the perioperative and postoperative period, afferent nerve signals in the surgical incision area stimulate the hypothalamus, causing the release of CRH, arginine vasopressin, and cortisol depending on the size of the surgical procedure. Providing patients with appropriate postoperative analgesia reduces the release of the stress hormones cortisol and prolactin. In this study, the investigators are aiming to compare the post-operative analgesic affects and stress hormone responses of subcostal transversus abdominis plane block and local anesthetic infiltration in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The study is planned to be prospective, randomized and single-blind.
The goal of this clinical trial research study is to evaluate the impact of preoperative oral immunonutrition (IN) on post-operative complications in patients undergoing a cystectomy. As a secondary focus, this study will aim to develop a signature that would identify patients that would benefit the most from IN. This is a multicentric (Swiss: N=3), prospective, controlled, pragmatic, parallel-group comparative study with block randomization stratified by centers.
In this study, it is aimed to compare the effects of short-term mindfulness meditation based on Human Caring Theory and virtual reality on patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The goal of this interventional study is to test the influence of food intake with characteristics of the urinary bladder. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does food intake modify the characteristics of urothelial cells? - Does change of specific diet regimes influence biomarker characteristics in urine? Participants will follow specific diet regime for a given time period. After completion of this period biomarker assessment is performed. Thereafter the participants follow an opposite diet regime for the same time period with identical biomarker assessment at the end. Biomarkers within the participants and between the diet regimes will be compared to investigate the influence of food intake on the urinary bladder.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway represents a peri-operative multimodal management aiming at a decrease in surgical aggression and an improved patient rehabilitation, in order to reduce postoperative morbidity, length of hospital stay and, as an important secondary consequence, overall costs. ERAS pathways have been successfully implemented in many surgical managements in the Western world, but very few data exist on ERAS in developing countries. This project aims at the prospective evaluation of ERAS pathway implementation in cholecystectomies in CHUK, Rwanda. The first 50 patients will be prospectively evaluated and compared to the last 50 patients who underwent cholecystectomy before ERAS pathway implementation.
Prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an implantable tibial nerve stimulator in subjects with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI).
In this study, we evaluate peri- and postoperative parameters of patients undergoing a cystectomy and try to find risk factors for infectious complications. In detail, we analyze their medical history, demographic data, lab values, microbiological tests as well as histological and radiological findings. Furthermore, after discharging our patients, we send them several follow-up questionnaires at regular intervals and offer them free follow-up examinations.
This study is a single-arm, open-label, single-center study to assess the safety of tislelizumab with BCG, and to obtain the preliminary efficacy results in subjects who have been diagnosed with high-risk NMIBC without prior BCG treatment.
We explored the potential etiology, clinical and histopathology presentation of the eosinophilic cystitis cases, clinically mimicking urothelial neoplasia. Surgical procedure and clinical outcome also evaluated. T
The purpose of this study is to examine the usefulness of implanting small 24-K gold fiducial markers around a bladder tumor site, so that a Radiation Oncologist can identify the original tumor location at the time of radiation treatment. Other goals of the study include assessing whether a new MRI imaging technology can help with detection of bladder cancer earlier and more accurately when evidence of bladder cancer is not visible by scope.
