Efficacy of Serratus Anterior Plane Block With Dexmedetomidine During Breast Surgery
This study aims to compare single level serratus block versus bilevel serratus block with and without dexmedetomidine in cancer patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer regarding pain control and possible side effects.
Brain Areas of Time-To-Contact Perception: an Awake Surgery Study
During a brain surgery targeted to remove a brain tumor, the neurosurgeon wakes up the patient to delimit the tumor area exactly, and identify the surrounding areas, to limit the surgery damages. The present project aims at testing the patient in this awake phase to determine the brain areas implied …
Interscalene Block Versus Combined Infraclavicular-Anterior Suprascapular Blocks for Shoulder Surgery
Postoperative analgesia after shoulder surgery remains a challenge in patients with preexisting pulmonary pathology, as interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB), the standard nerve block for shoulder surgery, carries a prohibitive risk of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP). Although several diaphragm-sparing nerve blocks have been proposed, none seems to offer equivalent analgesia to …
Added Value of Reconstructive Lymphatic Surgery to Usual Care in Lymphoedema
The primary objective of this research proposal is to investigate in patients with lymphoedema of the upper limb or lower limb (P) the added value of reconstructive lymphatic surgery (I) to the decongestive lymphatic therapy (usual care) (C) on the lymphoedema-specific quality of life (QoL) (O) at 18 months post-surgery/ …
PROTein to Enhance outComes of (Pre)Frail paTients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
Heart disease in an aging population has resulted in heart surgery being offered to older and more frail patients. Frail patients which make up more than 50% of patients currently undergoing heart surgery are vulnerable to having long-recovery times after surgery, greater loss of independence (i.e. being admitted to a …
Combining Immunotherapy Salvage Surgery & IORT Tx Persistent/Recurrent Head & Neck Cancer
This phase I trial is to find out the possible side effects of pembrolizumab and radiation therapy before and during surgery in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that remains despite treatment (persistent) or has come back (recurrent). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help …
Axillary Surgery De-escalation After Neoadjuvant Therapy Using Dedicate Breast PET
Some breast cancer patients with initial axillary metastasis can achieve axillary complete pathological remission(A-pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy(NAT)，These patients are candidates for axillary Surgery de-escalation. This prospective study is designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of axillary surgery de-escalation for the initial axillary metastasis breast cancer patients who are predicted …
Nylon Versus Polyurethane Epidural Catheters In Patients Undergoing Major Orthopedic Surgery
Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of nylon (polyamide) epidural catheter versus polyurethane epidural catheter in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery under continuous epidural anesthesia. Background: Continuous epidural anesthesia is the most common anesthetic technique used in orthopedic surgery. However, the use of epidural catheters is associated with complications. …
Preoperative Prehabilitation for Sarcopenic Patients Prior to Pancreatic Surgery for Cancer
Major digestive surgery is associated with a significant rate of postoperative complications. To improve postoperative outcome, efforts are focused on postoperative course leading to the concept of rehabilitation. However, the rehabilitation concept does not allow to improve muscular and functional reserves at the time of surgery. Sarcopenia is a condition …
Prophylactic Cholecystectomy in Midgut NETs Patients Who Require Primary Tumor Surgery.
The investigators want to study the effectiveness of prophylactic cholecystectomy in patients with midgut neuroendocrine tumor (jejunum, ileum or proximal colon) who require primary tumor surgery. When patients are diagnosed and are tributary to surgical treatment, the tumor might compromise vascularization, and patients need an extensive bowel resection. The patients …
