Diaphragm Paralysis: Surgery or Mechanical Ventialion
Summary Rationale: The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle which separates the thoracic cavity from the abdomen. In patients with diaphragm paralysis the treatment (surgery versus non-invasive ventilation) is based on physician preference, not sound scientific evidence. Clearly studies are needed to guide a scientific decision making. Objective: In this pilot …
Comparing Hypothermic Temperatures During Hemiarch Surgery
Hypothermic circulatory arrest is an important surgical technique, allowing complex aortic surgeries to be performed safely. Hypothermic circulatory arrest provides protection to cerebral and visceral organs, but may result in longer cardiopulmonary bypass times during surgery, increased risks of bleeding, inflammation, and neuronal injury. To manage these consequences, a trend …

A PREDICTIVE ALGORITHM IN AORTIC SURGERY
We will enroll patients scheduled for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and divide in two groups; in the control group the hemodynamic optimization will be made based on standard cardiovascular parameters showed in the Hemosphere platform. In the interventional group the hemodynamic optimization will be made based on the hypotension prediction …
Surgery for Locally Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is a severe disease often diagnosed at an advanced stage, when surgery is not possible. New chemotherapy treatments can sometimes shrink the tumor and make surgery an option. This study aims to understand if surgery after such treatments can improve survival and quality of life in selected patients …
A Study Comparing Laparoscopic/Robotic Stoma Reduced-Port Fusion Surgery with Traditional Surgery in Patients with Temporary Ileostomy
The traditional positioning and surgical methods for temporary ileostomy no longer meet the requirements of minimally invasive surgery: (1) Conventional stoma positioning often leads to the trocar incision being too close to the stoma site, increasing the risk of baseplate leakage and skin infection. (2) Since stoma positioning is required …
No Surgery Trial / Two Dose-escalation Strategies
A randomized study of 145 patients. Patients with a clinical T2-3 N0 rectal cancer will be randomized to two arms (arm A: standard chemoradiation (45 Gy in 25 with concomitant 5-FU or Xeloda chemotherapy) and an external beam boost of 9 Gy compared to arm B: standard chemoradiation (45 Gy …
Day Case Colectomy: Optimizing Short Stay-surgery.
HRV measurement of patients recovering from laparoscopic colorectal resection for any pathology.
Sternotomy PIFB Block in Open Heart Surgery
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use of a bilateral nerve block with a local anesthetic (ropivacaine), as part of a standard of care pain control regimen (called multimodal analgesia [MMA]), has a favorable effect on our institutional MMA pain regimen. Subjects will go through the …
