Bowel Preparation in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
This is a prospective randomized study of patients who are scheduled to undergo minimally invasive robotic gynecologic surgery. Patients will be randomized to require either pre-surgical bowel preparation vs. no bowel preparation. The effect of bowel preparation on intraoperative visualization, bowel handling, intestinal load and ease of surgery will be …

Alpha Ketoglutarate Enhances Geroprotection In Surgery (AEGIS)
One of the most common major surgeries that older patients undergo is coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG), which is performed in approximately 400,000 patients in the United States each year. CABG invokes a massive surgical stress response, with systemic epinephrine increasing 33-fold and norepinephrine increasing 3-fold. Initially, local tissue …
RemI for Post-Bariatric Surgery Weight Regain
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of remotely-delivered interventions (utilizing acceptance-based behavioral treatment skills (ABTi)) amongst bariatric surgery populations who are experiencing weight regain postoperatively (\> 5% from their lowest postoperative weight and after postoperative Month 6). Investigators aim to evaluate ABTi's efficacy for reversing …
Opioid Prescribing Practices in Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery
