Differential Target Multiplexed Spinal Cord Stimulation
Evaluation of the effectiveness of differential target multiplexed spinal cord stimulation for treatment of chronic back and leg pain. Additionally, a subgroup analysis will be performed to evaluate potential differences between paddle/surgical leads versus percutaneous leads.
Obstructive Colon Cancer, a Bridge to Surgery in Right Sided Obstructive Colon Cancer
Rationale: Approximately 13% (range 10-28%) of all colorectal cancer patients (CRC) present with an acute obstruction. Postoperative mortality after an emergency resection is known for its high risk of morbidity and mortality. Different options can be considered in the management of obstructing right sided CRC: 1) primary resection, simultaneous treatment …
Comparison Between Exactech Guided Personalized Surgery (GPS) and Conventional Instrumentation of Shoulder Arthroplasty
The primary objective of this study is to examine the optimization of Reverse Shouder Arthroplasty implant position between GPS and conventional techniques. The secondary objective is to assess the effect of implant position using GPS vs. conventional techniques on ROM and patient reported outcomes. Long-term follow-up to 10 years with …
Mic Mac: Micro- and Macrocirculatory Assessment During Cardiac Surgery in Patients at Risk of Vasoplegic Syndrome: A Prospective Study.
This research focuses on understanding the vasoplegic syndrome after cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation and in the aftermath of your surgery in the ICU. The investigators evaluate variations in a number of clinical and biological parameters during cardiac surgery and in the 48 hours following resuscitation. In addition to all …
At-home Walking Cadence Functional Assessment and Recovery Trajectory for Older Adults Undergoing Major Surgery
This is a prospective observational study looking at gait-cadence in older adults who are scheduled to have major abdominal surgery at the University of Chicago. The objective of the study is to evaluate whether gait-cadence, as measured from a patient's mobile device at-home, can provide an accurate assessment of a …
The Role of the Vascular Surgeon in Oncologic Surgery of Abdominal and Pelvic Retroperitoneal Masses
Retroperitoneal tumors (RPTs - retroperitoneal tumors) are neoplasms that originate from the soft tissues of the retroperitoneum and in their more invasive forms can involve the retroperitoneal organs and large abdominal and pelvic vascular structures. They are divided into benign tumors (20%), of which teratomas and tumors of neurogenic origin …
A Comparison of Renal vs Limb NIRS for Predicting Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication of cardiac surgery that can affect outcome. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technology that uses light to determine how well oxygenated tissues are. This technology is routinely used in cardiac surgery to measure the oxygen level in the brain by placing a …
A Diagnostic Test Accuracy Study Comparing Biopsy to Aspiration in Shoulder and Elbow Arthroplasty Revision Surgery (BASE Study)
The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous aspiration against open biopsy, using microbiological and histological methods, for the detection of shoulder and elbow periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). This is to establish the utility of pre-operative joint aspiration in the treatment pathway for shoulder and …
A Prospective Observational Study of Perioperative Lumbar Puncture Pressure and Shunt Valve Pressure Management in Patients with Communicating Hydrocephalus Undergoing Lumboperitoneal Shunt Surgery
Target population: patients 18 years of age or older who require surgical treatment with lumboperitoneal shunt surgery for traffic hydrocephalus Estimated sample size: 30 cases. Study design: this study is a multicenter prospective observational study, with lumbar puncture pressure measurement before and during surgery, and shunt valve setting pressure set …
Comparing Conservative to Surgical Treatment of Trigonocephaly Craniofacial Surgery in Children With Trigonocephaly: an Observational Cohort Study on Clinical Outcomes, Psychosocial Wellbeing, and Costs
RESEARCH QUESTION Is the effectiveness of conservative policy comparable to that of surgery in children with trigonocephaly, with regard to clinical outcomes and psychosocial functioning, stress for parents, and costs? DESIGN Observational cohort study in children, aged 0 to 8 years old, with trigonocephaly, excluding metopic ridging (physiologic early closure …
