Randomized Trial Comparing Immediate vs. Deferred Surgery for Symptomatic ERM
Vitrectomy to remove an epiretinal membrane (ERM) is one of the most common procedures performed by retinal surgeons. Patients who present with significant macular changes on optical coherence tomography (OCT) but relatively good vision are often advised to defer surgery until vision declines to 20/40 or worse. However, it is …
Evaluation of SINGLE PORT (SP) Robotic Technology in Colorectal Surgery
Currently a multiport robotic surgery platform (Intuitive Xi) is widely available and used for colorectal surgery indications. A Single port platform (Intuitive SP) is FDA approved for Head and Neck and Urology but has not been widely used in colorectal surgery. This study seeks to evaluate the safe and effective …
National Danish Protocol. Surgery+ SBRT for M1 Prostate Cancer Patients
A prospective, open label phase 2 clinical trial assessing safety, complications and feasibility of radical prostatectomy (RARP) plus local stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to bone metastases in combination with short-term medical castration to a select population of prostate cancer patients with oligometastatic disease.
Taste Physiology in Obese Volunteers Before and After Bariatric Surgery
The objective is to investigate neuro-anatomical correlates of gastrointestinal taste stimulation by means of functional MRI before and after bariatric surgery. Intragastric administration of glucose, monosodium glutamate, chloroquine and placebo is followed by functional brain MRI in obese humans before and 3 months after surgery.
Rectosigmoid Resection vs Seromuscular Tumor Shaving in Ovarian Cancer Surgery
Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death in gynecological cancer. Approximately 75% of epithelial ovarian cancers are detected at an advanced stage. Metastasis and spread are mostly through transperitoneal planting and neighborhood by shedding from the ovarian surface. Metastasis mostly occurs in the peritoneum, omentum, and intestines. The …
Bisphosphonate Use to Mitigate Bone Loss Secondary to Bariatric Surgery
The purpose of this research study is to see whether receiving a bisphosphonate medication called risedronate can reduce bone and muscle loss following bariatric surgery. Participation will involve up to 6 study visits and last about 1 year. Risedronate is a medication that prevents bone breakdown and has been approved …
Hallux Valgus- Radiological and Clinical Predictors for Outcome After Surgery
Prospective observational study to evaluate the clinical and radiological predictors for outcome in hallux valgus (HV) corrective surgery.
Surgery Versus Endoscopic Resection for Incompletely Removed Early Colon CAnceR
Randomized head-to-head comparison trial among patients who have undergone incomplete endoscopic resection of early colon cancer to evaluate the benefits, harms and burdens, as well as the ecological footprint and cost-effectiveness of endoscopic full thickness resection (eFTR), a minimally invasive endoscopic treatment with a colonoscope, as compared to standard-of-care surgery. …
NOL Guided Analgesia During Elective Laparoscopic Surgery Under General Anesthesia
The aim of this study is to investigate the hypothesis that the intraoperative use of the nociception level index NOL can reduce opioid consumption in adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgeries under general anesthesia, as well as to explore its effect on post-operative pain and patient recovery.
Image-Guided Surgery In The Treatment Of Rectal Cancer (AR_CRC)
The proposed study is addressed to introduce new Image-Guided Surgery (IGS) tools to assist mini-invasive surgical procedures of anterior rectal resection (TME; TA-TME, TTSS) performed with laparoscopic or robotic procedure. In details, the idea is to provide augmented reality (AR) guidance during robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgeries, by overlaying the preoperative …
