Filter by:This study is designed to compare the analgesic effectiveness of caudal analgesia to ilioinguinal regional analgesia techniques in children undergoing inguinal surgeries. Both techniques will be done under ultrasound gaudiness, using the same local anesthesia. 128 patients will be included in this study, 64 for each technique. This study aims to know the best regional analgesia technique in children undergoing inguinal surgeries, reduction in rescue analgesia postoperatively, postoperative length of stay, and early resumption of postoperative activity. The patients will be followed up 30 minutes after the end of anesthesia in PACU, postoperatively in Ward at 2 Hours, 3 hours, 6 hours from the end of anesthesia, and or at the time of discharge from the ward & on days 2 and 7. Patient privacy and safety will be respected at all times. An interim analysis will be done after recruiting 25% of cases (16 cases) in both arms. Once the sample size is reached, the data will be sent for statistical analysis with coded patient identity. Based on study findings, the practice will be optimized with the aim of improvement in pain relief, reduction in opioid requirements, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), reducing the bed occupancy time in the hospital.
In this study we aim to compare the effect of TAP block and QL block on postoperative analgesia, analgesic consumption , side effects and patient satisfaction after varicocelec surgery. 75 patients will be randomized into 3 groups:TAP Group (Group T) n = 25, QL Group (Group Q) n = 25, Control Group (Group K) n = 25 All patients will be operated on with spinal anesthesia. TAP and QL blocks will be performed after completion of the surgeries. In the postoperative care unit, an iv patient-controlled analgesia protocol with tramadol will be started. Patients in all three groups will be assessed with a resting and cough VAS (visual analog scale) at postoperative 2,4,6,12,18 and 24 hours and values will be recorded. The amount of analgesic consumption and the first analgesic request times will be recorded. Post-operative QUIPS: Quality Improvement in Postoperative Pain Management questionnaire will be applied, side effects such as nausea-vomiting, drowsiness will be noted. In addition, patient satisfaction will be assessed with these methods as bad, medium, good, and very good.
Prospective observational study. A varicocele is defined as a dilatation of the veins in the plexus pampiniformis in the testicles. Varicoceles are a diagnostic dilemma and a therapeutic challenge. Most of the boys with a varicocele don't show any symptoms, but approximately 15-20% experience some sort of infertility later during their life. There still isn't any consensus on when treating the patient is the right choice. Reliable scientific research about parameters able to predict the later stages of the boy with a varicocele is therefore needed. The purpose of this study is to how testicular growth could predict the outcome of boys with a varicocele. During this study, testicular growth in boys with and without a left-sided varicocele will be examined in different schools using ultrasound to measure the testicular volumes, the PRF and the TAI to be able to collect sufficient data with the purpose to be able to predict whether testicular growth is a significant predictor on the progression of a varicocele.
This study is to set the place of microsurgery in surgical treatment od varicocele in infertile male. Fourty patients will undergo microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy while the control group consisting of 20 patients wil undergo laparoscopic varicocelectomy.
To evaluate the benefits of laparoscopic Doppler ultrasound (LDU) assisted laparoscopic varicocelectomy (LV) and compare the surgical outcomes and complications between LDU assisted LV (LDU-LV) and microscopic subinguinal varicocelectomy for infertile patients with varicoceles.
This study will include cryopreserved sperm from infertile azoospermic men, with proven diagnosis of varicocele (clinical & sonographic), which will be used for ICSI in an ART program in Sohag. Patients personal and medical history and socio-demographic data will be retrieved from their saved medical files.
Testicular Cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among men between 20 and 34 years of age, with incidence rates rising in western countries including Israel. Cure rate of testicular cancer exceeds 90% with modern treatments. Thus issues such as quality of life (QoL), coping, effects on couple relationships, cognitive function, cognitive orientation and hormonal function become increasingly important. This study aims to assess all these issues using validated, reproducible questionnaires and hormonal plasma levels, and compare them between testicular cancer survivors and controls.
