Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Large Diameter Lumen-apposing Metal Stent Gastro-gastrostomy for Bypass Reversal in Patients With Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass
The primary objective of this open-label pilot study is to investigate whether an endoscopically placed lumen apposing metal stent is an effective alternative to surgery in patients that have a clear indication for reversal of their gastric bypass.
Prehabilitation for Ovarian Cancer Patients
Individuals with ovarian cancer have very poor survival rates. This is because the cancer is not usually detected until it has reached advanced stages. How long an individual survives also is determined by the cancer treatment they receive. Although there are best treatment practices to improve survival, some women have …
Nerve Blocks in Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction
Pain management is a major concern in oncologic breast surgery and reconstruction. Significant risks for acute and chronic pain after surgery might be reduced through improved pain control pre-operatively. Addition of regional anesthesia to a multimodal peri-operative pain management protocol offers a promising solution for improved recovery. For patients undergoing …
PROADAPT-ovary/EWOC-2
PROADAPT is a standardized geriatric intervention that is currently being co-constructed during an exploratory phase on a multi-professional and multi-disciplinary basis after a systematic analysis of published data (Figure). It consists in: 1) before surgery: a prehabilitation of the patients including a nutritional, physical and educational preparation; 2) during the …
Laparoscopic Approach for Emergency Colon Resection
This is a randomized, controlled, parallel, multicenter trial to compare post-operative complications and long-term results between open and laparoscopic technique in emergency colorectal surgery.
Effectiveness of Methods for Pyloric Drainage in esophagecTomY: Botox vs. Pyloromyotomy
The goal of this pragmatic, registry-based, randomized clinical trial is to find out if using botulinum toxin (Botox) to help drain the stomach during an esophagectomy works as well as a pyloromyotomy in patients undergoing elective esophagectomy for benign or malignant esophageal disease. Both methods are intended to prevent problems …
Neoadjuvant Intra-tumor Double Immunotherapy for Lung Cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well intra-tumor injection of double checkpoint inhibitors work when given alone and in combination with chemotherapy or/and bevacizumab in treating patients with previously untreated stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, pembrolizumab or durvalumab, may help the body's …
High-resolution PET-CT Specimen Imaging for the Perioperative Visualization of Resection Margins
These are patients in whom a benign or malignant tumor was recorded requiring surgery. During that surgery, the surgeon will cut away the tumor as part of the treatment of the disease. In this process, it is important that the tumor is removed correctly and completely. To verify that the …
The Poor Responders Study

Bariatric surgery is considered as the "gold-standard" surgical treatment for both conditions. However, not all patients do equally well after surgery and indeed the weight loss experienced by patients undergoing …
Assessing Declined Liver Grafts With Normothermic Machine Perfusion to Reduce Transplant Waiting Time
The goal of this study is to find out if quality assessment by normothermic machine perfusion can be used to safely increase the number of usable donor livers, helping more people get transplants faster and with better results. This process keeps a donated liver working outside the body before transplantation, …
