Long-term Reoperations After Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Surgery
Severe and persisting pain and disability due to a degenerative narrowing of the spinal canal, lumbar spinal stenosis, can be operated with a simple surgical decompression. Sometimes, there is also a slippage of vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis. In such cases, instrumental stabilization (e.g. screws and rods) has been recommended. Even though …
Anesthesia Induced Myocardial Injury in Non-cardiac Surgery (AIMY)
Myocardial injury during non-cardiac surgery (PMI) affects up to 16% of high-risk patients and represents a significant burden on healthcare systems. An acute myocardial infarction is defined by a dynamic increase in cardiac troponin (cTn) above the 99th percentile and is accompanied by clinical signs of myocardial ischemia. Myocardial injury, …
Chronic Subdural Hematoma Treatment With Embolization Versus Surgery Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in moderately symptomatic chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) patients if middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) can be used as an alternative to conventional open surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Compared to open conventional surgery, does MMAE reduce the …
Prediction of Vascular Events After Major Non-Cardiac Surgery : an Observational Prospective Cohort Study
This observational study includes patients at medium-to-high cardiovascular risks undergoing major noncardiac surgery, measures their baseline demographic and clinical characteristics, preoperative cardiac biomarkers and intraoperative surgery/anesthesia related data, and screens them for the occurrence of myocardial injury and major adverse cardiac events after surgery. The primary aim is to develop …
Prolonged Chest Tube Treatment to Reduce Rates of Atrial Fibrillation Following Cardiac Surgery
Evacuation of pericardial blood by posterior pericardiotomy or use of a posterior pericardial chest tube lowers postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) rates after cardiac surgery by 45-68%. Although it cannot be generalized due to trial undersizing, posterior pericardial chest tube treatment may be a superior alternative to pericardiotomy, given its low …
Morbidity and Mortality: Surgery and Standardized Transmission in Operating Room
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of standard handover with AnesList© between physician anesthesists in operating room, for a complete transmission for a patient, on the occurence of event as death, serious complications or rehospitalization in month of postoperative after major surgery.
The Impact of Breast Surgery on Patients' Quality of Life
The investigators aim to document the surgery-specific and overall Quality of life parameters of patients undergoing all types of breast surgery at the University Hospital of Basel
Prehabilitation to Improve Heart Rate Variability (PRIME)
Cancer patients require chronic management and care. For those individuals living with cancer, a comprehensive approach that acknowledges the interdisciplinary nature of their condition can help guide appropriate care strategies and support their overall well-being. Approximately 45% of patients diagnosed with cancer undergo surgery to remove their tumor. Despite the …
Patient-reported Outcomes for Patients Undergoing Surgery at Shouldice Hospital.
Background Previous publications have highlighted limited data on patient outcomes and experiences at Shouldice Hospital. Existing studies from Europe reported outcomes following Shouldice repair but lacked recent data. The current project seeks to optimize patient care and knowledge through systematic follow-up. Study Objectives: Establish a patient-reported outcome measure follow-up program. …
Long-term Safety of Nipple Sparing Mastectomy in Women With High Penetrance Breast Cancer Susceptibility Genes in Breast Cancer
Patients with a germline pathogenic variant (GPV) in high-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility genes who are considering risk reducing mastectomy (RRM) often strongly desire to keep their nipple areola complex but inquire as to whether it is safe to do so. Relative to traditional or skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) techniques, nipple …
