Active clinical trials for "Fistula"

Between 2000 and 2016 258 distal pancreatectomies were performed at our University Hospital which were included in our analysis. Pasireotide was used in between July 2014 and April 2016. Patients received 900-ug pasireotide administered twice daily perioperatively. We analyzed patients who received octreotide treatment separately. Complications such as fistulas (POPF), delayed gas-tric emptying (DGE), postoperative hemorrhage (PPH), reoperations and mortality were recorded and analyzed 90 days postoperatively

The main aim of the study is to assess the quality of life of people with Crohn's disease after treatment for complex perianal fistulas in a standard clinic setting. Study doctors will review the participants' medical records in the last 3 years. Participants will also be asked to visit the clinic once to complete 1 questionnaire on their quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the creation of a fistula or a graft plays a role in the development of heart disease for patients undergoing hemodialysis

Background and Purpose: Congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an uncommon anomaly. In some patients they can became symptomatic, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We report our experience in percutaneous treatment of CAF.

We wish to examine Arterio-Venous Fistula (AVF) and Arterio-Venous Graft (AVG) utilisation rates for Haemodialysis at University Hospital Limerick. We want to determine out of the AVF's that are surgically created, how many go on to be used as anticipated for haemodialysis treatments successfully.

We divided into three parts to carry out. Firstly, evidence the pre-existing fibrosis in vein of AVF failure patients. investigation of expression, the role, and the mechanism by which the identified O-GlcNAac proteins promote, maturation of AV fistula. Finally, ddress and compare the proteomics differentiation between failure and maturation of AVF patients.

For periampullary and pancreatic head disorders, pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard treatment. However, PD is technically demanding and has high morbidity and mortality rates. The most significant and life-threatening complication of PD is postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), with reported rates of 5 to 70% for total POPF and 10 to 45% for clinically relevant (CR-POPF). Operative risk variables for CR-POPF after PD were investigated in this study.

Pain and satisfaction score will be assessed at the end of surgery and compared in either of two groups

The objective of our study is to identify the factors influencing the occurrence of a biliary leak after performing surgery leading to the creation of a biliary anastomosis to any segment of the digestive tract.

An enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) poses a major surgical problem. The definitive surgical repair of persistent fistulas remains a surgical challenge with a high rate of re-fistulation and mortality, and the reasons for that is not the surgical technique alone. Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS®) is an evidence-based multimodal perioperative protocol proven to reduce postoperative complications. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical value of ERAS protocol in surgical patients with ECF.
