Active clinical trials for "Postoperative Complications"

The overarching goal of this research is to use machine learning analysis of high-resolution data-collected by wearable technology-of cardiothoracic surgical patients to assess recovery and detect complications at their earliest stage

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery is routinely performed in clinical scenarios, highly postoperative morbidities and long-term mortality should be modified. A simple risk prediction model incorporating risk factors can help guide clinical decision making, patient counseling and treatment planning.

After lung resection, troponin elevation may be regulated by mechanisms other than myocardial ischemia. Perioperative natriuretic peptides measurement may help identify changes in ventricular function during thoracic surgery. Integrating both cardiac biomarkers may improve the predictive value for cardiovascular complications after lung resection.

Lower third molar extraction is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in dentistry. Common sequelae, including pain, swelling and trismus, can severely affect patients' quality of life during the immediate postoperative period. The aim of this randomized-controlled trial is to clinically evaluate the reduction of lower third molar extraction-related complications, such as swelling and pain, and wound healing, following submucosal infiltration of injectable platelet rich fibrin.

The study is primarily an exploratory study of quality registry data for a swedish national cohort of patients who have undergone gallbladder surgery or ERCP, with the aim of investigating the occurrence of pain and PONV (Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting) after gallbladder surgery. Furthermore, the investigators will explorer if there are factors related to the patient or the surgical procedure that are associated with a higher risk of PONV or pain.

Mohs micro-graphic surgery (Mohs) is a tissue-sparing, surgical treatment for different types of skin cancer (e.g. basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, lentigo maligna (melanoma). It is a procedure performed with frozen sections. Slow Mohs, a variant of micro-graphic surgery, is performed by formalin fixation and paraffin-embedded sections. Both in Mohs and Slow Mohs tumor margins are assessed to achieve complete removal. This study aims to investigate the clinical presentation and outcomes (i.e. complications and recurrence rates) in patients treated with Mohs or Slow Mohs in the dermatology department of the Maastricht University Medical Center+ in Maastricht, the Netherlands.

Preoperative evaluation of nutritional status in geriatric patients with lung cancer and implementation of these practices in elective patients are very important in terms of reducing postoperative complications and accelerating hospital discharge. For this purpose, many nutritional assessments and measurements are used. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the relationship between preoperative nutritional status and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracic surgery for geriatric lung cancer.

Patients undergoing surgery inside their abdomen, with no serious heart or lung diseases, will have a lung ultrasound exam before and after surgery. The patient respiratory status in the post-operative unit and the surgical ward will be monitored for complications after surgery

The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes after scoliosis surgery before and after the implementation of an interdisciplinary juvenile scoliosis correction program in teenager based on ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) principles.

Choledochal cysts are congenital cystic dilatations of the intra and/or extrahepatic bile duct. They have been considered a rare entity of the child population. Globally, they account for 1% of all biliary pathology benign, with a clearly higher incidence in Asian countries (1/5,000 in China, 1/1,000 in Japan, compared to 1/100,000-150,000 in Western countries). However, the number of adults diagnosed in recent years has increased by up to 70% due to improvements in imaging tests. Currently, the common bile duct malformation is considered a premalignant entity: although the data are not very precise, it is estimated that between 2.6% and 26% of patients diagnosed choledochal cyst, will develop cholangiocarcinoma. In this sense, we must bear in mind that most of the published literature is of Asian origin, where the rate of cholangiocarcinoma is 0.1-71/100,000 compared to 0.1-1.8/100,000 in Europe or 0.6-1/100,000 in the USA. The most used classification to differentiate the types of cysts is that of Todani. Following this classification, we would find a higher rate of malignancy on types I and IV. The recommendations found in the literature refer to the need for surgical intervention for choledochal cysts due to their high rate of malignancy. These recommendations are based on studies conducted in a symptomatic Asian population. We do not usually find in therapeutic algorithms the inclusion of various factors that could be involved in the development of malignancy such as episodes of cholangitis, presence of anomaly in the pancreatobiliary junction, presence of lithiasis in cystic dilatation, etc. Some surveys carried out among the scientific population reflect a lack of consensus on its management: in the same clinical situation, different surgery units specialized in hepatobiliary-pancreatic pathology would act in the opposite way (specifically surgical versus conservative treatment). Bile duct resection is not without complications, both short-term and long-term. Therefore, the patient's symptoms, age or comorbidities can play an important role in decision-making in the treatment of this pathology. This nationwide multicenter retrospective observational study aims to determine the clinical situation of this rare pathology in a Western environment. A retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with choledochal cyst in the period between 2000 and 2020 is proposed. Demographic variables, risk factors for cholangiocarcinoma, symptoms associated with the cyst and its characteristics, diagnostic method, type of treatment, complications will be analyzed. Malignancy, time, and follow-up method will also be discussed. This study will attempt to answer questions about the incidence of choledochal cysts in our environment, their association with cholangiocarcinoma, the associated morbidity and mortality, as well as the therapeutic and follow-up attitudes adopted in the face of this rare pathology.
