Ketamine Analgesia in Third Molar Surgery
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Outpatient surgery (day case surgery) is increasing. When the patients go home on the same day, this demands safe pain relief. A reduction of morphine (opioid) use is sought because of side effects and the dependency risk. An effective alternative to opioids is ketamine, which lacks the …
Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Movement Disorders
Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an approved surgery for certain movement disorders, like Parkinson's disease, that do not respond well to other treatments. DBS uses a battery-powered device called a neurostimulator (like a pacemaker) that is placed under the skin in the chest. It is used to stimulate the …
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Recurrent Acute Rhinosinusitis
The aim of this study is to find out if endoscopic sinus surgery improves the quality of life in patients suffering from recurrent acute rhinosinusitis. Our main outcome is the difference between the average change in disease-specific SNOT-22 quality of life questionnaire scores (from baseline to 5-6 months follow-up) between …
No Opioids PrescrIptions On Discharge After Surgery
Opioid analgesics are routinely prescribed for these patients for post-operative pain control. Even a short exposure to opioids in opioid-nave patients following minor or major surgery has been associated with de novo habitual or persistent use of opioids in 5-30% of patients. The goal of the study to eliminate the …
Superficial Cervical Plexus Block for Orthognathic Surgery
US-guided superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) may be used for several head and neck surgeries. Local anesthetic is injected under the sternocleidomastoid muscle for SCPB. It has lower complication rate compared to the deep cervical plexus block. Postoperative pain management is important in patients underwent orthognathic surgery. Effective pain treatment …
The Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Adipocyte Metabolism
The purpose of this study is to understand how daily rhythms of behavior affect the expression of genes in fat cells, and how these daily cycles affect the way fat cells respond to insulin (a hormone that controls blood sugar levels) before and after bariatric surgery.
Anabolic Effects of Intraoperative Feeding in Reconstruction Surgery
Perioperative fasting remains a common clinical practice in surgical patients to prevent the development of postoperative anesthesia- and surgical-related complications. Clinical observational studies indicated that the combination catabolic effects resulted from prolonged perioperative fasting and profound surgical stress are likely to induce extensive protein catabolism, muscle breakdown and impaired glycemic …
Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Transoral Robotic Surgery for Oropharyngeal Cancer.
The objective of this trial is to study the efficacy of treatment of human papilloma virus (HPV) related oropharyngeal cancer with chemotherapy followed by Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) as definitive treatment. Current treatment of oropharyngeal cancer are chemo-radiotherapy. There is significant lifelong side effects associated with this approach related to …
ESP Block VS Intrathecal Opioid After Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
This study is being done to compare 2 types of pain control methods and determine which is more effective postoperatively for laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Group 1 will receive an intrathecal (IT) injection in the back in which a small dose duramorph and bupivacaine will be placed into the spinal fluid. …
Surgical TreAtment for Obesity Related Disease and Onco-Metabolic Surgery
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to compare Billroth II reconstruction versus conventional Roux-en-Y reconstruction versus long limb Roux-en-Y reconstruction for glycemic control in patients with concurrent type 2 diabetes and gastric cancer.
