Rationale: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a minimal invasive technique using the natural body orifices like stomach, oesophagus, bladder, rectum and vagina to access the human body for surgery. In 2012, the first vaginal NOTES (vNOTES) hysterectomy was performed. Potential benefits of vNOTES hysterectomy, also called the vaginal …
This study aims to identify pre-operative phenotypic determinants predictive of quality of life trajectories in post-bariatric surgery patients. In addition, this study will have as a secondary objective the highlighting of a potential link between post-surgery quality of life trajectories and those of anxiety/depression scores, eating behaviors and body mass …
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass, leading to longer hospital stays and worse outcomes. Effective preventive therapies are lacking. This randomized controlled trial investigates whether transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS)-a non-invasive ear stimulation technique-can reduce AKI after cardiac surgery. A total …
This study was conducted to determine the effects of a manual vibration technique applied to the chest wall on the duration of chest tube placement, secretion clearance, and hemodynamic parameters in patients with chest tubes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study whether researchers can create a patient-specific tumor system, called a culture vessel, in a timely manner and determine if it can predict how someone will respond to a specific therapy. Participants will: Undergo a research biopsy Take pembrolizumab per standard of …
A gummy smile can negatively affect a patient's self-confidence and satisfaction with their appearance, leading many individuals to seek effective esthetic solutions. The etiology of this condition varies and may include vertical maxillary excess, short upper lip, hyperactive upper lip, gingival enlargement, or altered passive eruption.

In colorectal surgery, one of the most feared complications is anastomotic leak (AL). To limit the consequences of AL, it must be diagnosed as early as possible, before it becomes symptomatic. Digestive surgeons use a variety of pre-, per- and post-operative techniques to reduce the rate of anastomotic fistula, but …
standard paradigm for management of patients who present with concern for recurrence of brain metastases following initial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
Hip fractures are common in the elderly and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Effective early analgesia is crucial for facilitating mobilization, reducing pulmonary complications, and improving overall outcomes. Although opioids are traditionally used for postoperative pain management, their adverse effects have led to increased interest in multimodal analgesia, …
The trial will evaluate the efficacy of DYNAVISC in subjects with a diagnosis of persistent or recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome. This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, evaluator-blinded clinical trial. Results will be stratified based on the method used for median nerve coverage: Group 1 (standard of care surgery followed by …
