Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Plane Block In Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Ultrasound-guided Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Plane Block (M-TAPA) is performed into the costochondral aspect at the 9th-10th costal level by injecting local anesthetics deep into the chondrium. It provides blockage of both the anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the thoracoabdominal nerve. Studies show that M-TAPA block is effective for postoperative …
Re-evaluation of the Effect Site Model of the PKPD Propofol Eleveld Model
in healthy patients undergoing elective surgery, after a very slow induction, using Eleveld's kinetics as a reference, after loss of consciousness (LOC) and intubation, proceed to infuse propofol until 1% burst suppression ratio is obtained. Then return to the LOC concentration. The BISindex predicted by the model and the real …
Tubeless VATS for Mediastinal Neoplasm
In recent year, non-intubated anesthesia had emerged as an available and promising alternative for thoracic procedure. However, its safety and feasibility in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for mediastinal neoplasm remain controversial. This randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate the impact of the non-intubated approach on surgical and perioperative outcomes …
Safety and Feasibility of a Self-Balancing Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation in the Thoracic Surgical Intensive Care Unit: a Pilot Trial
Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after thoracic surgery often experience complications related to immobility, such as muscle weakness, pulmonary issues, and longer recovery times. Early mobilization has been shown to improve outcomes, but its implementation is often limited by patient fragility and staff resources. This study will …
Validity of Frailty Screening Tools as a Measure for Postoperative Outcomes
Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome defined as a clinical state of decreased physiologic reserve resulting in increased vulnerability to stressors. It is associated with several unfavorable postoperative complications independent of age such as readmission, length of hospital stay and mortality. To address these concerns, medical societies have acknowledged a …
Restoring Segmental Lumbar Lordosis After Failed Previous Fusion at the Same Level
The restoration of lumbar lordosis is mandatory during lumbar fusion surgery for degenerative disc disease, since not restoring lumbar lordosis adequately may adversely affect surgical outcomes and the patient's quality of life in the follow-up. Revision surgery to restore segmental lordosis at the level of previous spinal fusion is extremely …
The Effects of General Versus Spinal Anesthesia on Postoperative Myocardial Injury
In this prospective, randomized, single-blind study, we aim to compare the effects of general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia on postoperative myocardial injury in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery. Cardiovascular events are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity following non-cardiac surgery, with myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) being a …
Comparisons of Metabolic Effect of Sleeve Gastrectomy With Duodenojejunal Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy (MEDUSA): A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
In this study, the effects of SG with DJB and SG alone for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) will be compared in patients other than the two groups at both extremes who are expected to show excellent effects of metabolic surgery with SG alone (mild T2DM) and …
Intelligent Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Immediately Before Surgery as an Intra- or Pre-Operative Surrogate for Patient Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is common practice in the primary treatment of breast cancer, leading to a complete pathologic remission (pCR) of the tumor in more than 50% in aggressive tumor types. As NAC induces different response patterns, radiologic imaging is not sufficiently accurate in predicting residual disease. Because of this …
Organ Preservation With Durvalumab-based Immunotherapy in Combination With Chemoradiation as Definitive Therapy for Early Stage Esophageal Adenocarcinoma With Indication for Radical Surgery
The present clinical trial is a prospective, investigator-initiated, single-arm, open-label, multicenter phase II trial investigating whether a definite organ preservation therapy consisting of the combination of durvalumab with chemoradiation is an efficient and safe treatment option for early stage, cT1 and cT2N0, esophageal adenocarcinoma with indication for radical surgery.
