Fluorescence Imaging With Indocyanine Green(ICG) in Endoscopic Spinal Surgery

Disc Herniation

In endoscopic spinal nerve root decompression surgery, the intraoperative nerve exploration is time-consuming and critical. According to statistics, the incidence of nerve root injury under spinal endoscope is 1.8-2.5%. Damage to nerve roots may lead to postoperative sensory retardation and motor weakness, thereby impairing the physical function of patients. A real-time auxiliary intraoperative nerve identification technology is necessary. In this prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel controlled trial, 40 patients who undergo endoscopic spinal surgery are included. Subjects are randomly divided into control group and low, medium and high Indocyanine green(ICG) preoperative administration experimental group. Standard endoscopic spinal surgery is performed in the control group. Patients in the experimental group received an intravenous injection of ICG before surgery, and a standard endoscopic spinal surgery is performed with the use of a fluoroscopic endoscopic surgical imaging system to assist the surgeon in identifying and protecting the nerve roots. The main objectives of this experiment are (i) to explore the safety and feasibility of ICG fluorescence imaging to assist in nerve root identification during endoscopic spinal surgery and (ii) the effectiveness of this technique for endoscopic search for nerve roots. The secondary objective is to explore the optimal ICG dosing regimen.

Safety And Performance Of Disc Care To Prevent Lumbar Disc Herniation Recurrence

Disc HerniationDisk Herniated Lumbar

The goal of this clinical investigation is to learn about DISC Care, an Hernia Blocking System, in patients who have undergone lumbar disc hernia surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: if the implant (DISC Care) prevents disc herniation recurrence if DISC Care is a safe device Participants will be implanted with DISC Care and followed up for two years (7 visits).

Laparoscopic Groin Hernia Repair by a 3D ENDOLAP Visible Mesh With or Without LiquiBand Fix 8 Mesh...

HerniaRecurrence

This study aims to visualize the implanted mesh in vivo by MRI in 20 patients at 1 month and 12 months post-operatively. Moreover, we want to evaluate the safety and efficiency of non-penetration mesh fixation techniques using pre-designed ENDOLAP 3D visible mesh placement versus mesh fixation using a synthetic LiquiBand Fix 8 glue for laparoscopic treatment of groin hernias. A total of 100 male and female patients will be entered in the trial in Maria Middelares Ghent, for which an inclusion period of 24 months is anticipated. Four surgeons of the department of surgery will screen all eligible consecutive patients for inclusion in the study. They will inform all patients about the surgery and the follow-up with MRI scan thereafter.

A Prospective Clinical Trial of Colostomy-replacement Combined With Bio-mesh Placement in the Prevention...

Stoma Site Incisional Hernia

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the safety and effectiveness of stoma reversal combining bio-mesh placement in patients with high risk of stoma site incisional hernia (SSIH). The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether bio-mesh placement is safe for patients with a high risk of SSIH. Whether stoma reversal combining bio-mesh placement is a preventive strategy for patients with high risk of SSIH. Whether stoma reversal combining bio-mesh placement will trigger other complications. Participants who are eligible and are enrolled in this study will receive stoma reversal combining bio-mesh placement surgery. After that, they will be followed up for one year to evaluate the occurrence of SSIH and other complications.

Sutures Versus Polyglactin Mesh in Hiatal Hernia Repair

Paraesophageal HerniaHiatal Hernia3 more

Paraesophageal hernia causes pain, heartburn, regurgitation, anemia and in extreme, life-threatening strangulation. For symptomatic patients, laparoscopic surgery is offered which includes hiatal defect closure and antireflux surgery. However, recurrence rates are high between 12 and 42%. In order to reduce recurrences, mesh has been used with various materials and techniques with conflicting results. Non-absorbable mesh has been linked with adverse events including erosion of esophageal wall. Traditionally used biological mesh materials are expensive and therefore problematic in routine use. Use of polyglactin (Vicryl®) mesh, which degrades in 6-8 week, has been reported in paraesophageal hernia surgery. Previously, no randomized controlled trial comparing sutures only and polyglactin mesh has been performed. In this trial, the aim was to randomize total of 110 patients to receive sutures only or mesh repair. Primary outcome was recurrence of paraesophageal hernia at 6 months after the repair based on computed tomography scan. Secondary outcomes included symptomatic recurrences, reoperation rate, quality of life, reoperations up to 20-years after surgery and use of proton pump inhibitors up to 20-years after surgery.

Study to Prevent Postoperative Urinary Retention

Urinary RetentionInguinal Hernia

Post-operative urinary retention (POUR) is a common complication after inguinal hernia repair with a reported incidence up 34%. It can be described as the inability to initiate urination or properly empty one's bladder following surgery. It is usually self-limited, but it requires the use of catheterization to empty the bladder in order to prevent further injury to the bladder or kidneys and to relief the discomfort of a full bladder. Tamsulosin is a medication that is commonly used in men with urinary symptoms related to an enlarged prostate. There is some evidence to suggest that it may also potentially be beneficial for preventing post-operative urinary retention. The purpose of this study is to determine if tamsulosin ("TAMSULOSIN Mepha Ret Depocaps 0.4 mg") is effective in preventing post-operative urinary retention following endoscopic total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair and its impact on hospital length of stay.

Reducing the Incidence of Incisional Hernia After Stoma Closure Using a Prophylactic Mesh

Incisional Hernia

Background: Preliminary studies have shown that application of a prophylactic mesh during stoma closure reduces the incidence of incisional hernia at site of stoma closure. Methods/Design: The study will be a randomized controlled single-blinded monocentric study determining the 1-year incidence of incisional hernia in cancer patients undergoing ileostomy or colostomy closure with or without prophylactic non-absorbable mesh applied in the sublay position. Discussion: Prevention of incisional hernia at site of stoma closure will lead to an improvement in patients' quality of life and generating savings for healthcare systems. To date, no randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of prophylactic mesh applied during stoma closure on the prevention of incisional hernia has been published. With the present randomized controlled trial, we expect to demonstrate that the application of a prophylactic mesh reduces the one-year incidence of incisional hernia at site of stoma closure.
