Effectiveness of Virtual Reality-enhanced Interventions on Preoperative Anxiety in Adults Undergoing Elective Surgery
Brief Summary: Preoperative anxiety is a common phenomenon in surgical patients, with a pooled global prevalence of 48%. Surgical patients with preoperative anxiety may negatively impact their psychological health and surgical outcomes. Recent studies have revealed the promising effects of virtual reality-enhanced interventions to improve preoperative anxiety symptoms among adults …
Prophylactic Antibiotics in Preventing Surgical Site Infection After Hepatobiliary Surgery in High-Resistant Settings
To analyse the efficacy of different preoperative prophylactic antimicrobial regimens for perioperative infection prevention in patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery in a high antimicrobial resistance setting.
Cervical Erector Spinae Plane Block in Proximal Humeral Fracture Surgery, A Motor-Sparing Block
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of cervical erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in managing postoperative pain following proximal humerus fracture repair in patients receiving general anesthesia.
The Sinai Robotic Surgery Trial in HPV-related Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SIRS 2.0 Trial)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma in patients with undetectable postoperative HPV circulating tumor DNA (cfHPVDNA) with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) alone can result in cancer control and survival comparable to those previously reported with standard therapy. The protocol includes …
Selective Omission of Axillary Surgery in Triple-negative and HER2-positive Breast Cancer After NACT
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is standard treatment for many triple-negative (TNBC) and HER2-positive breast cancer. Study showed about half of the biopsy-proven axillary disease will be eradicated by NACT and converted to ypN0 indicating the efficacy of systemic treatment in local disease control. According to current guidelines, all initial cN0 patients …
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 …
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 …
Impact of Varying Doses of Prucalopride on Improving Gut Function Recovery After Elective Colorectal Surgery
Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication after abdominal surgery, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and delayed passage of flatus and stool. Management remains challenging, with limited pharmacological options available. Prucalopride, a selective serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist, has shown promise in accelerating gastrointestinal recovery after surgery. However, the …
Fiberoptic Intubation in Lateral Versus Supine Position in Pediatrics Undergoing Non-head-and-neck Surgery
Fiberoptic intubation was first described in the late 1960s and has since become an effective and well-established technique for airway management in awake, sedated, and anesthetized patients. This technique is especially useful in patients with known or suspected difficult airways such as those with limited mouth opening, reduced neck mobility, …
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 …
