Skin Preparation for Elective Foot and Ankle Surgery
Surgical site infections (SSIs) make about 31% of all nosocomial infections and they are the most common hospital-acquired infection. For foot and ankle elective interventions, SSI rate is reported between 0.4% and 3.6%. This study will investigate the effectiveness of skin cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and scrubbing with chlorhexidine soap …
Hepatic and Systemic Hemodynamic Modeling During Liver Surgery
" Despite the medical and surgical progress of the last two decades, the selection of candidates for liver surgery remains based on old principles and insufficiently sensitive to fine-tune the gesture to patient-specific characteristics and make almost zero risks of postoperative liver failure (PLF) and death. It is therefore necessary …
Interest of Wicking for Ossicular Surgery and Myringoplasty
Myringoplasties and ossicular surgery are very common procedures. Following these otological surgeries, most surgeons install a wicking. This intervention consists of placing a wick, absorbable or not, in the external acoustic meatus, after having replaced the tympanomeatal flap.
HPI Effect in Robotic Urological Surgery on AKI
It is a single-center randomized controlled trial that aims to figure out the effect of the hypotension prediction index (HPI) on the prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) after robot-assisted urological surgery. The primary hypothesis is that HPI software guidance prevents postoperative AKI by reducing the duration and severity of …
Surgery Versus Biologics for Stricturing CD--a RCT
The management of stricturing Crohn's disease (CD) remains challenging. Although surgical resection may be the final way to solve it, the efficacy of biologics for symptomatic CD associated strictures was acceptable. In clinical practice, the chioce of treatment is particularly difficult. Therefore, a clinical trial of biologics versus surgery is …
Effect of TEAS on PONV After Spinal Surgery
The proposed research will utilize electroacupuncture, a type of needleless acupuncture that uses electrostimulation, in a randomized, double blind study, to evaluate the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing spinal surgeries with the transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) compared to patients without TEAS.
Virtual Reality in Awake Surgery : Pilot Study VIRAS
The virtual reality mask is a tool likely to improve the conditions for performing awake surgery by improving tolerance for the patient, by improving ergonomics in the operating room. In order to control the risks as well as possible, the investigators propose to test the equipment on patients who will …
Bariatric Surgery and Exercise Interventions: Effects on Muscle
The purpose of this project is to assess the effects of bariatric surgery on muscle structure and function as well as investigating the feasibility of undertaking an exercise intervention post-surgery.
Surgery and Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Objectives To determine intraperitoneal (IP) progression free survival after optimal debulking and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cisplatin in patients with IP spread of adrenocortical cancer. Determine morbidity of this procedure in this patient population. Determine the impact of surgery and HIPEC on quality of life (QOL) and hormone excess. …
Prevention of Chyle-leak After Major Pancreatic Surgery
Chyle is lymphatic fluid present in the wall of the intestine. It flows trough lymphatic vessels to cisterna chyli and to venous circulation carrying lymphatic fluid, long-chain triglyceride fatty acids and proteins, fatty soluble vitamins and electrolytes. Lymphatic vessels are at risk of damage in pancreatic surgery and especially when …
