Extending Indication for Islet Autotransplantation in Pancreatic Surgery
Islet autotransplantation (IAT) is a therapeutic approach used to prevent pancreatogenic diabetes or to reduce the severity of diabetes after a major pancreatectomy. Total pancreatectomy with IAT is being used almost exclusively for treatment of chronic pancreatitis. More recently, indications other than chronic pancreatitis have been reported including IAT after …
Mitral Valve Prolapse, Arrhythmias and Mitral Valve Surgery
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death. A proper electrophysiological and echocardiographic characterization of this population is missing. Moreover, the effects of mitral valve repair on the arrhythmic burden are still matter of debate. The investigators sought to explore the role of …
Milrinone on Right Ventricular Strain in Cardiac Surgery
The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in right ventricular strain before and after milrinone administration in order to find out whether milrinone improves RV systolic performance in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
NorMIGS - a Study of Micro-invasive Glaucoma Surgery
NorMIGS is a non-randomized clinical study of intraocular pressure lowering effect and complications after Preserflo microshunt implantation versus other types of glaucoma surgery. The study is conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Oslo University Hospital, Norway.
PostoperAtive Neurocognitive Dysfunction After Major AbdomiNal Surgery (PANDAMAN)
Predisposing and precipitating factors for perioperative delirium for the elderly remain elusive. This research will be conducted to determine risk factors of postoperative delirium.
Modulation of the Inflammatory Response in Bariatric Surgery
This study will evaluate how different anesthesia techniques affect inflammation after bariatric surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive one of three approaches: opioid-free anesthesia, intravenous anesthesia with opioids, or inhalational anesthesia with opioids. The study will measure blood levels of inflammation-related substances (such as IL-6, CRP, cortisol, ESR …
Feasibility of Nurse-performed Gastric Ultrasound After Surgery
Gastric ultrasound is a quick and non-invasive tool to evaluate gastric content. Emptying of gastric content can be affected after abdominal surgery leading to the inability of tolerating oral foods. Gastric content can be assessed by gastric ultrasound and nurses were recently trained to do so in healthy volunteers; however, …
Colorectal Surgery, a New Robotic Platform (Hugo Ras)
A novel robotic platform -Hugo Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS)- has been introduced with several innovations that may prove advantageous for surgeons such as an open console and four interchangeable modular arms. Our study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and potential impact of this platform in the surgical treatment of …
Who Will Benefit From Bariatric Surgery for Diabetes?
A study investigating the influence of fat distribution, genetic susceptibility markers for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and fat distribution, epigenetic and transcriptomic changes and gut hormone responses to a mixed meal on diabetes remission following bariatric surgery.
Surgery as a Treatment for Medically Intractable Epilepsy
Background Drug resistant epilepsy is the term used to describe epilepsy that cannot be controlled by medication. Many people whose seizures do not respond to medication will respond to surgical treatment, relieving seizures completely or almost completely in one-half to two-thirds of patients who qualify for surgery. The tests and …
