Metabolic Effects of Bariatric Arterial Embolization vs Bariatric Surgery
Obesity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) are two of the most common chronic diseases of the Western society. Obesity is one critical factor in DMT2 development, with weight loss having profound beneficial effects on DMT2 and improving the metabolic pathophysiology leading to hyperglycemia. Observational studies reported that surgical intervention …
EOI Block Versus ESP Block in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery
This study aims to compare a single shot of bilateral ultrasound-guided EOI block and ESPB in terms of intraoperative opioid consumption, postoperative pain control in the first 24 hours, and the need for rescue analgesics.
Erector Spinae Plane Blockade in Pediatric Scoliosis Surgery Patients
Providing effective analgesia after spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis remains a challenge with significant practice variation existing among high volume spine surgery centers. Even in the era of multimodal analgesia, opioids are the primary analgesics used for pain control after pediatric scoliosis surgery, but have multiple known adverse effects. The …
Opioids Versus Non-Opioids Postoperative After Knee Arthroscopic Surgery
The purpose of this study is to look at pain management with opioids versus non-opioids after knee arthroscopy. This study will determine 1) whether the most commonly used non-narcotic medications provide pain relief comparable with the most commonly prescribed narcotic medications in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, and 2) whether …
Medication Following Bariatric Surgery for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The aim of this study is to investigate the continued usage of standard diabetes medications in the post operative period following bariatric surgery to determine whether this approach may improve long term diabetes control. At present, the standard of treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes is that all medication …
Limb Occlusion Pressure Tourniquets to Decrease Pain After Surgery
Currently a standard tourniquet pressure is used for orthopedic surgeries. High tourniquet pressure had been associated with adverse side effects such as ischemia, muscle weakness, and post operative pain. Limb Occlusion Pressure, LOP, is based off the patient's systolic blood pressure plus a safety margin and is typically much lower …
Opioid Use Post-Discharge After Ambulatory Distal Arm Surgery
The aim of this study is to determine if a standardized evidence-based opioid prescription following elective hand and forearm surgery at Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) will decrease the number of unused opioid pills consumed by patients while still maintaining adequate pain control as compared to usual treatment. Currently, no standardized …
The Effect of Exercise in Patients Awaiting Bariatric Surgery
The aim of this project is to understand the impact of a four week preoperative exercise programme on fitness and metabolic rate and weight before surgery. A multi-site randomised trial sponsored by UCL, recruiting patients awaiting bariatric surgery for obesity at University College London Hospital (UCLH), Whittington Health NHS Trust, …
Readiness Brain Operation Optimization Training (ReBOOT) for Epilepsy Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if new educational program prior to epilepsy surgery can either decrease the risk of cognitive decline after surgery or be a help to those patients who experience a decline after undergoing epilepsy surgery. Participants will participate in 2 individual virtual sessions …
Impact of Unrestrictive Exercise Following Mid-Urethral Sling Surgery
To determine the impact of unrestricted postoperative activity on intermediate- and long-term continence outcomes of mid-urethral sling surgery in women with stress urinary incontinence. To assess the natural return to baseline activity level when patients are unrestricted following mid-urethral sling surgery with or without concomitant anterior or posterior pelvic organ …
