Glycemic Markers for Predicting Gestational Diabetes in Pregnant Women With Previous Bariatric Surgery
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with significant maternal and fetal complications. The standard diagnostic test for GDM is the 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). However, pregnant women who have undergone bariatric surgery may not tolerate OGTT due to dumping syndrome and gastrointestinal side effects. This creates diagnostic challenges …
Quality of Life After Glaucoma Surgery: Evaluating the Patient Perspective Across Surgical Options
Glaucoma surgery currently relies on a wide therapeutic arsenal, ranging from conventional filtering surgeries to minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). These techniques offer distinct efficacy and safety profiles, allowing tailored management across a broad spectrum of patients. Traditionally, surgical success has been evaluated using objective clinical outcomes, such as intraocular …
Efficacy and Safety of the ELIOS Laser in Combined Cataract and Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma is an irreversible optic neuropathy. It is the second most common cause of blindness worldwide. Glaucoma can be treated with topical medications (eye drops), laser or surgery. Traditional surgery is invasive and has a high complication rate (hypotonia, endophthalmitis, cataracts, etc.). As a result, several types of micro-invasive surgery …
PENG Block vs Suprainguinal FICB vs Lumbar ESPB for Analgesia After Hip Surgery
This randomized, double-blinded, controlled clinical trial compares three motor-sparing regional anesthesia techniques used for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty: the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block, the suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (S-FICB), and the Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane Block (L-ESPB). Although all three techniques are widely used in …
Pre-Incision Peripheral Nerve Blocks for Lower Extremity Fracture Surgery in Older Adults
Fractures of the lower leg are especially difficult for older adults. They are more likely to have serious complications, require longer healing times, and have a higher risk of death This occurs because their bodies cannot tolerate stress as well as younger individuals. The injury itself places significant strain on …
Conversion Therapy Plus Surgery and Radiotherapy for Retroperitoneal Nodal Metastases in Gastric Cancer
This is a randomized, controlled, multicenter phase II clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of conversion therapy combined with radical gastrectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy targeting para-aortic (station 16) lymph nodes in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and isolated station 16 nodal metastases. Eligible participants must have no evidence of peritoneal …
Effect of Skin Closure Techniques on Body Image in Women Undergoing Gynecologic Surgery
This randomized clinical trial investigates the impact of two different skin closure techniques on body image and mood in women undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancers. Patients undergoing elective surgery with a midline abdominal incision will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. Interrupted Closure Group: The surgical incision …
Loose Seton Prior to Surgery for Single-tract Cryptoglandular Fistula vs no Seton
Cryptoglandular anal fistulas can cause pain, discharge, recurrent infection, and a prolonged treatment course. In current practice, patients with a single-tract mid-high or high cryptoglandular anal fistula often first undergo placement of a loose seton before definitive sphincter-preserving surgery. Although this staged approach is widely used, high-quality evidence showing that …
Electroacupuncture at ST36 for Reducing Postoperative Inflammation After Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass can trigger a marked systemic inflammatory response and may contribute to postoperative organ dysfunction and delayed recovery. Electroacupuncture at the Zusanli acupoint (ST36) may regulate inflammatory responses, but its clinical effects in patients undergoing cardiac surgery remain uncertain. This prospective, randomized, parallel-group study will enroll …
Perioperative Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Target Attainment of Piperacillin During Major Hepatic and Pancreatic Surgery
Hepatic and pancreatic surgeries are associated with a high risk of surgical site infections, particularly in patients with preoperative biliary drainage, which is frequently associated with bacterial colonization of bile. In this context, perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is essential, and recent guidelines recommend the use of piperacillin/tazobactam in selected high-risk patients. …
