Thoracic Surgery Intercostal Block Trial With Liposomal vs. Hydrochloride Bupivacaine
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the analgesic effects of liposomal bupivacaine compared to bupivacaine hydrochloride in intercostal nerve block for patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung surgery. Postoperative pain remains a significant issue in thoracic procedures, often leading to complications like pneumonia or delayed recovery. The investigators hypothesize that liposomal bupivacaine, with …
MAP- Versus Cardiac Index-Guided Hemodynamic Management in Whipple Surgery
This prospective randomized study aims to compare the effects of two intraoperative hemodynamic management strategies on early postoperative renal function in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients will be allocated to either mean arterial pressure-guided hemodynamic management or cardiac index-guided hemodynamic management during surgery. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major abdominal surgical procedure associated …
Feasibility of Breathwork Intervention With Older Adults After Knee Surgery
Postoperative complications after surgical procedures, including following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), have a negative impact on the health and well-being of surgical patients. Older adults (≥65 years) are particularly vulnerable to postoperative complications and their associated morbidities due to the biological aging process. Older adults comprise nearly half of surgical …
Timing of Rehabilitation Following Cervical Spinal Surgery in Degenerative Myelopathy
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether starting rehabilitation earlier after surgery can improve recovery and is feasible and acceptable for adults with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) undergoing cervical spine surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Does starting rehabilitation earlier improve walking, balance, physical …
New Robotic Knee Surgery: Does Implant Type Affect Alignment Accuracy?
Total knee replacement is a common surgery for patients with severe knee arthritis. To improve surgical accuracy, surgeons now use robotic systems to help plan and perform the procedure. A new robotic system called KUNWU® has been developed in Hong Kong. Unlike many other systems, it allows surgeons to choose …
Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine With Bupivacaine, in Patients Undergoing Knee Orthopedic Surgery
This study aims to compare the duration of analgesia (as the primary outcome) and adverse effects (as the secondary outcome) after intrathecal administration of dexmedetomidine with hyperbaric bupivacaine to patients undergoing knee orthopedic surgery.
The Finnish Uterine Prolapse Surgery Trial (The Fin-UP Trial)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the Manchester procedure and vaginal hysterectomy in treating patients with symptomatic uterine prolapse. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the difference in the success rates at the the two year follow-up Participants will: be randomized in …
Safety of Robotic Surgery for GISTs at Special Anatomic Sites
This study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, phase II clinical trial. It plans to enroll 182 patients with localized gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) at special anatomic sites. Eligible patients who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and provide written informed consent will undergo robotic radical surgery. Postoperative treatment will be determined …
Effects of Respiratory Muscle Training in Post-bariatric Surgery Patients
Obesity is a health condition caused by excessive accumulation of body fat. This condition is linked to the development of chronic diseases and also places increased stress on the respiratory system, leading to respiratory disorders, exacerbation of preexisting respiratory conditions, and a decline in physical capacity and exercise tolerance. Respiratory …
The Use of Sublingual Melatonin Premedication in Geriatric Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is routinely performed with anesthesia care, whereas anesthesia care for other elective, low-risk, outpatient procedures is applied more selectively. We hypothesize that sublingual melatonin will provide superior anxiolysis and sedation while maintaining a high safety profile and minimizing hemodynamic disturbances.
