PREHAB - Improving Condition Before Surgery
The pilot research project is focused on the feasibility of a prehabilitation program for two groups of diagnoses (esophageal and stomach cancer, rectal cancer).
Stop Smoking in Spine Surgery
Patients that are subjected to a medium complex surgical intervention in neck (posterior) or lumbar spine (posterior) with instrumentation are motivated to stop smoking. The outcome data of patients that stop and that continue smoking will be compared. A group of non smokers is evaluated as a control group. Particularly …
Salvage Chemoradiation Therapy for Recurrence After Radical Surgery or Palliative Surgery in Esophageal Cancer Patients
Currently, adjuvant therapy is not recommended for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received radical surgery. However, the recurrence rate is as high as 23.8%-58%, and the median time-to-recurrence is about 10.5 months. In patients who had residual tumor after surgery, evidence lacks for chemoradiation. The aim of the …
Results of Patients With Glaucoma Undergoing Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery in Conjunction With Cataract Surgery
This study is designed to determine how well patients with glaucoma can see following cataract surgery with a special type of lens called an extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) lens. This lens is intended to reduced the patients need for glasses following cataract surgery. Patients will also undergo a minimally invasive type of …
Rectus Sheath Block for Analgesia After Gynecological Laparotomy
Thirty subjects undergoing laparotomy for Gynecologic oncology surgery will be prospectively enrolled and will receive a bilateral rectus sheath block (RSB) under ultrasound guidance using 133 mg liposomal bupivacaine and 20 ml bupivacaine 0.25% per side. Cases will be matched in a 1:2 ratio by age, race, insurance status and …
Evaluation of Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery: MINIject® Versus Hydrus® Microstent in Combination With Cataract Surgery
The study aims to investigate postoperative outcomes after two different MIGS implants (MINIject or Hydrus) in combination with cataract surgery for patients with glaucoma.
Preop Laxatives in Robotic Urologic Surgery
Minimally-invasive surgery, either laparoscopic or robotic, is commonly used in urology. Several urologic procedures including prostatectomy, radical nephrectomy, and partial nephrectomy are now commonly performed robotically. Patients undergoing these procedures often have delayed return of bowel function and persistent gastrointestinal symptoms including nausea/vomiting, abdominal distension, and bloating for several days …
Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery
The purpose of this research project is to investigate the incidence of impaired swallowing (dysphagia) after anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) and to study the long-term effect of dysphagia on nutritional status 12 ± 3 months later. Furthermore, to investigate the effect of a new rehabilitation method for dysphagia among …
Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine in VATS Surgery
Postoperative pain after VATS surgery is significant and associated with moderate to high post operative morphine requirements, which can cause opioid related side effects and delay postoperative recovery. To reduce this requirement, multimodal analgesia with non opioid medication such as dexmedetomidine and ketamine can be used. These drugs have demonstrated …
Rehabilitation After Ileo-anal Pouch Surgery
Multi-centre, assessor-blinded, randomised controlled trial comparing physiotherapist-led behavioural intervention (including pelvic floor muscle training) to standard care, in the management of post-operative ileo-anal pouch patients.
