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.
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
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are major causes of illness and premature death worldwide and their incidence is increasing rapidly. 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 …
Perioperative Intravenous Nimodipine Trial
The role of perioperative IV administration of nimodipine, an L-type calcium channel antagonist which is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, on peri-operative opioid and anesthetics requirements, pain intensity, opioid-related side effects and early postoperative bowel mobility in patients undergoing surgical treatment for bowel cancer with open radical colectomy remains …
Mechanistic and Clinical Outcomes of a Surgical Innovation Aimed at Minimizing GERD Associated With VSG (INNOVATE-VSG)
This is a two-site randomized clinical trial aiming to test whether a modified investigational bariatric surgical procedure can improve gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy.
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, …
Mini-dose Dexmedetomidine-Esketamine Supplemented Analgesia in Patients at High-risk of OSA
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risk of developing sleep disturbances after surgery. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist with sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. Ketamine is a noncompetitive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Esketamine is the S-enantiomer of racemic ketamine and twice as potent as racemic …
A Study to Learn About Study Medicine Called PF-08634404 as a Single Treatment and Combination Treatment in Adult Participants With a Liver Cancer Called Hepatocellular Carcinoma, That is Too Advanced to be Removed by Surgery and May Have Spread to Other Parts of the Body.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of study medicine (PF-08634404) when given alone or with another antibody (ipilimumab) for the treatment of a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is either locally advanced (spread to nearby tissues) or has spread to other …
Targeted Resection of Axillary Metastatic Lymph Nodes After Breast Cancer Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
This study is a multi-center, prospective, self-controlled study, to evaluate the feasibility of targeted axillary lymph node resection (TAD) guided by tissue marker clip with methylene blue single tracer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in T1-4N1M0 breast cancer patients. Evaluate the accuracy and false negative rate of TAD, comparing with sentinel lymph …
Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Obesity is a growing epidemic throughout the world and is followed by increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes that accounts for 90-95% of all cases of diabetes. Weight loss is a major objective, although difficult to achieve with medical treatments. Many recent studies demonstrated that bariatric surgery has the potency …
