The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, optimal dose and imaging time of the investigational product, IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab for use as a near infrared imaging probe for image-guided surgery during lung cancer resection. IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab targets cancer cells over-expressing EGFR, allowing tumors to be visualized and may help surgeons …
The purpose of this study is to measure functional activity and stability in spinal deformity patients utilizing motion analysis testing and accelerometers.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate protein digestibility after bariatric surgery. Does protein digestibility decrease after Roux-en-Y-Gastric Bypass? Does protein digestibility decrease after Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery? Does protein digestibility effect the ability to meet protein requirements?
Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are the most common complications after major upper abdominal surgery. PPCs include respiratory infections, severe atelectasis, pleural effusion, bronchospasm, aspiration pneumonitis, pneumothorax, exacerbation of chronic pulmonary condition, and respiratory failure. Although PPC rates are higher after open liver surgery, PPCs still occur in approximately 12-13% …
Huge hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is defined as a tumor with a maximum diameter greater than 10 cm. With advancements in surgical techniques, hepatectomy can be performed safely in some patients with huge HCC without vascular invasion or distant metastasis and with preserved liver function. The high risk of recurrence after …
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare outcome after construction of an ileal (J-shaped) reservoir of 10 versus 15 centimeters in primary ileal pouch-anal anastomosis surgery.
This is a study that aims to demonstrate the non-inferiority of minimally invasive surgery versus open surgery, as an approach for patients with advanced ovarian cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, giving them the benefits of laparoscopic surgery. This way they can continue with their complementary treatment.
A novel robotic platform -Hugo Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS)- has been introduced with several innovations that may prove advantageous for surgeons such as an open console and four interchangeable modular arms. Our study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and potential impact of this platform in the surgical treatment of …
After laparotomy, treating large incisional hernias (width \>= 10cm) proves challenging due to the progressive retraction of lateral abdominal muscles and the separation of rectus muscles. This width is a significant risk factor for repair failure and recurrence. High rates of severe postoperative morbidity, up to 50%, are reported, linked …
Resection of the sigmoid-rectum is a procedure frequently required in cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer, and it is also among the procedures with the highest risk of complications. One of the major, albeit uncommon, complications of intestinal anastomosis is anastomotic leakage. According to the literature, the rate of anastomotic …
