Characteristics of Intestinal Microbiome Following Pancreatic Surgery
The goal of this observational study is to learn about intestinal microbiome structure and function in individuals who have undergone a pancreatoduodenectomy and compare to healthy matched controls. The primary objectives of the study are: To explore and describe any differences in the gut microbiota especially Shannon diversity index To …
Older People's Neurocognitive Recovery After Cardiac Surgery
Society is aging and advantages in anesthesia and surgery allow more complex interventions in older persons. Old age is a significant risk factor for the development of postoperative neurocognitive decline characterized by a gradual decrease in performance in several cognitive domains such as memory, attention, information processing, and executive functions, …
Examination of Edema After Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
The investigators's aim is to examine trunk and upper extremity edema after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and/or labrum repair surgeries. During surgery, the shoulder joint capsule is cut and the joint is entered arthroscopically. During this procedure, approximately 3-6 liters of saline fluid is injected into the joint, depending on …
ICG Anastomotic Control in Digestive System Surgery
This was a parallel single-center retrospective cohort study conducted at Linglong Yingcheng Hospital, Shandong, China. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of indocyanine green (ICG) on patients undergoing digestive system surgery (subtotal gastrectomy, partial hepatectomy, transverse colectomy, left colectomy, including sigmoid resection, and splenic colic resection). …
Fertility and Pregnancy After Surgery IBD Audit
Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis are chronic disease that are usually diagnosed at young age. The diseases and the associated treatment can impact on patient's sexual function, fertility, pregnancy, and delivery. This study aims to assess the impact of inflammatory bowel diseases on these aspects in female patients.
Anticoagulation and Inflammation Monitoring in Patients After Heart and Vascular Interventions
The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the most appropriate anticoagulation monitoring tool for unfractionated heparin (UFH), by comparison of different monitoring modalities in relation to adverse events occurrence (thrombosis/bleeding). The main study questions are: What is the most appropriate anticoagulation monitoring tool (ACT, aPTT, viscoelastic tests …
Audit of the Revised PACU Centric ERACS Program
A previous audit (S63843) found an association between improved compliance with these interventions and postoperative outcomes (hospital length of stay (LOS) and presence of ≥1 postoperative complication). The investigators found that every 10% increase in compliance was associated with an increased risk (HR=1.25, p=0.0008) for early discharge. In addition, improved …
Video Analysis of Errors and Technical Performance Within Minimally Invasive Surgery Short Title: Video Analysis in Minimally Invasive Surgery (VAMIS)
Despite the high volumes, advanced minimally invasive surgery is non-standardised and variations often occur in surgical technique, performance, delivery, team communication, and surgical approach. Such variations can result in errors and complications that can potentially be avoided. This project aims to analyse surgical phases (stage of the operation), skill and …
Right Ventricular Pressure Waveform Monitoring in Cardiac Surgery
RV dysfunction has been associated with increased mortality in the ICU and cardiac surgical patients. Thus, early identification of RV dysfunction at less severe stages will allow for earlier intervention and potentially better patient outcomes. However, so far, no studies have reported prospectively the prevalence of abnormal RV pressure waveform …
SURGIcal COmplication and MIcrobiome ChangeS in Colorectal Surgery
The microbiome, the collection of microorganisms that live in our gut, plays an important role in maintaining our health, proper nutrient absorption, nutrient turnover and immunity. After birth, a symbiotic relationship develops with the strains of bacteria that colonise our gut, and the presence and proportion of bacteria is individualised …
