Histopathological diagnosis is essential for gliomas, but stereotactic biopsy carries significant risks and can fail to provide diagnostic tissue. This study aims to develop and validate an advanced fiber optic system integrated into a standard Nashold biopsy needle. This system combines 5-ALA fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy, and ultrasound imaging to provide …
The study is a multicentre, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial. Ventral hernia patients with an aperture width between four and eight centimetres are randomised to either participation in a multimodal preoptimisation programme, including interventions to increase physical activity, promote weight loss, and optimise the treatment of comorbidities, or to surgery without …
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore alternative methods of postoperative pain control in Mohs micrographic surgery. The main aims are: To provide more information to the Mohs surgery community regarding postoperative pain control. Reducing pain improves the overall comfort and well-being of patients, leading to a better …
This prospective observational cohort study aims to determine the incidence of early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing major gynecological surgery. Cognitive function will be assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) preoperatively and on postoperative day 3. POCD will be defined as a ≥20% relative decline or ≥2-point …
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate longitudinal changes in sarcopenia-related parameters in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Obesity and rapid weight loss following bariatric surgery may lead to changes in muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance, which are important components of sarcopenia. Participants will be evaluated before bariatric surgery …
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided retrolaminar nerve block in addition to standard multimodal analgesia for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Fifty patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the retrolaminar block combined with standard pain management or standard pain management alone. …
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the safety and feasibility of regular diet after surgical removal of the colon. The study will enroll patients preoperatively, prior to colon surgery, and will follow participants for up to 30 days. The study hypothesizes that simplifying nutritional recommendations is safe …
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by pressure from a ligament on a nerve in the wrist, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand. Surgery to cut the ligament is often recommended when non-surgical treatments do not provide sufficient symptom relief, but it is unclear …
This study aims to investigate the distribution of gut microbiota-derived metabolites, and to evaluate whether postoperative nutritional intervention can modulate the gut-heart metabolic axis, thereby improving metabolic profiles and clinical outcomes.
The goal of this clinical study is to test whether a structured prehabilitation program can be successfully used by adults with pancreatic cancer who are receiving chemotherapy before planned surgery. Prehabilitation is a program designed to improve a person's physical fitness, nutrition, and symptom control before surgery. The study's main …
