Single Versus Double Stapling and Two Purse-String Techniques in Rectal Cancer Surgery
This study compares ways of joining the bowel after surgery for rectal cancer. It aims to find out whether using a single-stapling technique leads to fewer bowel leaks than using a double-stapling technique. It also compares two ways of placing the closing stitch used in the single-stapling technique. The study …
Reflexology Massage and Hot Water Foot Bath for Pain and GI Recovery After Colorectal Surgery
This study was planned to examine the effect of non-invasive treatment methods that can be applied to alleviate complications involving gastrointestinal system functions such as pain, nausea, vomiting, and absence of gas/faecal output after colorectal (colon and rectum) cancer surgery. The two main intervention methods of the study were reflexology …
Energy Expenditure Assessment in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Treated With Free Flap Surgery
What is the purpose of this study? Patients with head and neck cancer who undergo surgery with free flap reconstruction often need careful nutritional support during recovery. The purpose of this study is to better understand how much energy (calories) these patients need before and after surgery and whether nutrition …
Safety and Performance Evaluation of CPB Venous and Arterial Cannulas
This is a two-phase study evaluating the Eurosets arterial and venous cannulas for use during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures. Phase 1 is a pilot study focused on assessing cannula safety. Phase 2 is a pivotal study aimed at confirming safety and evaluating efficacy through comparison with Medtronic cannulas (control group). …
Improvement in Breast Skin Sensibility After Breast Reconstruction: a Comparison of 3 Surgical Techniques
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if nerve sutures in free flap breast reconstruction can optimize sensibility in the reconstructed breast in patients opting for DIEP flap breast reconstruction due to breast cancer or genetic conditions. Affected women 18 to 80 years old can be included. The …
Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Serratus Anterior Plane Block in VATS
Pain control remains challenging in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). It is advised to use a regional block to lower postoperative opioid usage. This study evaluates efficacy of Erector spinae plane (ESP) block in comparison to Serratus anterior plane block (SAP) in pain management for patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic …
Effect of Patient Education on Drinking Behaviour and Oral Hygiene in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery
The background for the study is that many bariatric surgery patients struggle with their oral health after bariatric surgery. This is probably related to both physiological changes and changes in eating and drinking patterns. In addition, many have reduced oral health even before surgery, and a significant proportion also have …
Periodontal Assessment of a Bariatric Care Population
Our primary aim is to investigate the prevalence and severity of Periodonotal Disease (PD) in a population of obese patients. Our secondary objectives are to: Investigate inflammatory biomarkers that have been associated with PD in the saliva of obese patients. Investigate the association of FTO gene (Obesity) polymorphisms with the …
Persistent Organic Pollutants and Mechanical Discharge: Limiting the Impact of Bariatric Surgery Through Personalized Adapted Physical Activity
For the most severe cases of obesity, recourse to bariatric surgery is the ultimate solution. Although highly beneficial to individual health, this massive loss of body mass could also have negative effects on metabolism and neuromuscular function. Unfortunately, these effects have been relatively little studied in the scientific literature, and …
ESP vs SPSIP Block in VATS Analgesia
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small thoracic incisions, but postoperative pain remains significant due to tissue and rib trauma. Poorly controlled pain may lead to chronic postoperative pain; therefore, optimal analgesia is essential. According to PROSPECT guidelines, erector spinae plane block (ESPB) or paravertebral …
