Intermittent neurogenic claudication due to lumbar stenosis is frequently diagnosed among older persons. Due to an aging population it is to be expected the incidence of lumbar stenosis will increase over time. Patients are operated on because of…
Reduction of the postoperative pain in Total Knee Arthroplatia through the use of a peri- and intracticular injection of Local Infiltration Analgesia.
The objective of this study is to assess whether or not apical surgery that is carried out with the help of a microscope has a higher success rate than apical surgery without the use of a microscope. No RCT is found in present literature (Del Fabbro…
We hypothesize a lung*protective mechanical ventilation using lower tidal volumes during general anesthesia for minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy to protect against postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing minimally…
To describe the differences in safety, patient comfort and admission period after diagnostic cardiac catheterization through radial access, between the current protocol and the protocol of fast desufflation by Carrington et al.
Primary Objectives:*Phase 0: To determine the receptor occupancy of OPN-305 1.5mg/kg in patients receiving an ECD, DCD or SCD(CIT>18h) kidney transplantation and to verify the doses of OPN-305 to be used in Part A of the study.*Part A: to…
To evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and quality of life of Flaminal® versus Flammazine® in the treatment of superficial and deep partial thickness burns.
The effectiveness of PRP treatment in patients suffering from chronic lateral epicondylitis is still ambiguous. Therefore we study PRP treatment in a double blind randomized controlled trial in a homogeny patient population with respect to duration…
Primary objective: To determine the reduction of number of patients who receive blood transfusion perioperatively in the group pre-treated with erythropoietin and iron supplement compared to the control patients.
In this randomized study, timing during (day 1-7 of the menstruation cycle WITH vaginal blood loss) or beyond menstruation (in menstruation cycle day 8 and further WITHOUT vaginal blood loss) will be compared regarding differences in patient-…
To assess the potential benefit of pelvic floor therapy for anal fissure. Measured primarily in pain, measured by the VAS score. Secondary outcomes are healing rates and recurrence.
The aim of this prospective study is the prevention of progression of premalignant lesions to invasive head and neck cancer by modifying the out-patient follow up and patient management.
Objective: the use of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) as an adjunct to the staged mucosal advancement flap to achieve a better closure rate of high peri-anal fistula*s.
The aim of this study is to assess the influence of alveolar tampon packing on incidence of pain, swelling, trismus, alveolar osteitis, and QoL in the week following M3 surgery.
A lower hemoglobin concentration for red cell transfusion (restrictive transfusion strategy) will be non-inferior to a liberal strategy in terms of vital organ function (heart, brain and kidney) and mortality.
Scar volume and POSAS score will be measured in the Verapamil group, these will be compared to the scar volume and POSAS score in the Kenacort+Verapamil group and the Kenacort group. In addition, complications/ adverse effects will be reported.
The main objective is to compare the coronal Cobb angle correction of proximal hook claw fixation versus proximal pedicle screw fixation after two years of follow-up. The secondary objectives of the study are: comparison of coronal Cobb angle…
This study investigates the optimal intraoperative treatment algorithm to lower glucose in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 undergoing non-cardiac surgery, comparing intraoperative glucose-insulin-potassium infusion, insulin bolus regimen and…
The primary goal is to increase the quality of recovery, as measured by the QoR-15-scale.Secundary goals are to decrease the use of systemic opiates, less bladderspasms and pain, reduce the side-effects op opiates, increase the patient-satisfaction…
To determine whether early goal-directed therapy, aimed at optimizing cardiac output measured by arterial waveform analysis, improves outcome in high-risk, abdominal surgery.
