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 …
Paragastric Neural Blockade and Laparoscopic Assisted Transversus Abdominis Plane Block on Visceral Pain After Surgery
after laparoscopic bariatric surgery, visceral pain (VP) remains a significant issue. VP causes autonomic symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, and does not respond to conventional pain management methods that target incisional pain. The present study was performed to test the effect of use of combined paragastric autonomic neural blockade …
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 …
Preoperative Carbohydrate Drink in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Surgery: the Impact on Safety and Enhanced Recovery
The goal of this interventional study is to learn if carbohydrates loading improves overall outcome in adolescent patient undergoing scoliosis curgery The main questions of the study are as follows: Does carbohydrates loading improves gastrointestinal related problems such as improvement in return of bowel function measured by first passage of …
Tubeless Anesthesia in Preventing Lung Complications in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Early-Stage Lung Cancer
The study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness and safety of tubeless anesthesia in single-port thoracoscopic surgery for early-stage lung cancer patients. Traditional anesthesia methods risk postoperative complications like lung injury and respiratory issues. Tubeless anesthesia preserves spontaneous breathing without tracheal intubation, potentially reducing these complications and enhancing recovery. The study …
