Active clinical trials for "Postoperative Complications"

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a steroid-free immunosuppression protocol in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a continuous infusion of local anesthesia with a catheter in the surgical wound reduces patient consumption of opiates by 30% in the 48-hour postoperative period following surgery for colorectal neoplasm and hepatic surgery versus the continuous infusion of physiological serum.

RATIONALE: Transoral robotic surgery may make it easier to find and remove benign or malignant tumors of the larynx and pharynx and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known whether transoral robotic surgery is more effective than standard surgery in diagnosing and treating larynx and pharynx tumors. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well transoral robotic surgery works compared with standard surgery in treating patients with benign or malignant tumors of the larynx or pharynx.

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of bromfenac sodium ophthalmic solution 0.09% for treatment of post-operative ocular inflammation in subjects who undergo cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. The secondary objective was to investigate the safety and tolerability of the same.

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is effective in preventing metastatic cancer following surgery. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of radiation therapy in preventing metastatic cancer in patients who have undergone diagnostic procedures to identify malignant mesothelioma.

The purpose of this study is the examine the feasibility of and estimate the efficacy of a preoperative exercise (i.e. prehabilitation) program in 40 up to sedentary older adults (i.e. age 60 and over) undergoing abdominal, urologic or gynecologic surgery under the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol at Duke, using a variety of techniques to measure the possible effect of this intervention. Study patients will undergo a program of prehabilitation exercise for 6 days per week prescribed for them by an exercise physiologist, for up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Study participants will undergo four types of assessments: Functional/Cognitive testing; Blood/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples and Muscle biopsies; Brain Imaging; and Brain Activity Recording. Clinical Outcomes will also be obtained from the Duke electronic medical record system. The risks of the exercise intervention are generally mild, since moderate exercise in this patient population generally results in improved health outcomes. Data from these patients will be analyzed in comparison to propensity matched patients from the Duke Markers of Alzheimer's Disease and neurocognitive Outcomes after Perioperative Care (MADCO-PC) study who did not undergo this prehabilitation exercise intervention. Taken together, the results of this study will allow the investigators to estimate the possible effect of prehabilitation exercise on multiple domains of postoperative recovery (cognition, brain connectivity, biomarkers, brain activity, etc) and will provide important preliminary data.

The objective of this case-control intervention study is to explore the effectiveness of Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF) and Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) on Pain, Edema and Trismus After Impacted Lower Third Molar Surgery

The role of a single-dose intraoperative methadone on postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing Surgeon Accuracy Robot Assistant cystectomy. A prospective double-blind, randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of a single-dose of intraoperative methadone in patients undergoing robotassisted cystectomy.

The study will compare the functions outcomes between two different rehabilitation protocol after operated weber b ankle fractures

Variety of physical therapy treatments have been used after open abdominal surgery to improve cardiopulmonary and physical function as well as to reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. This study intends to determine the effect of early physical therapy interventions on post-operative recovery profile, post-operative ileus and incisional pain following abdominal hysterectomy.
