Extending Popliteal block duration with adding clonidine to the levobupivacaine (= standard care)
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of AttraX® Putty as a bone graft substitute for autograft in instrumented posterolateral fusion of the thoracolumbar spine, in terms of efficacy and safety.
To investigate effectiveness of spinal chloroprocaine, and prilocaine in day case surgery. The null hypothesis is that there is no significant intergroup difference in complete recovery from motor blockade.
The purpose of the proposed project is to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of cognitive rehabilitation in a prospective randomized trial on neuropsychological test performance and self-reported cognitive symptoms, psychological symptoms…
Documentation of the patients' functional recovery and quantification of fusion after implantation of 3-D trabecular titanium cages on the short and long term. These data will be compared with the recently performed randomized CASCADE trial on…
To describe the treatment expectations of patients with a pituitary tumor undergoing treatment as well as patients' evaluation of the perioperative trajectory. Moreover, we will determine the fulfilment of expectations and clinical outcomes…
Primary Objective: To assess whether early postoperative AED withdrawal improves cognitive function compared to late withdrawal.Secondary objectives: * To confirm safety of earlier AED withdrawal; we will assess eventual seizure freedom, seizure…
Primary Objective: To assess whether both OCT (optical coherence tomography) and/or HSI (hyperspectral imaging) detect differences in glioma tissue as compared to healthy tissue as examined during brain-surgery.Secondary Objective(s): To assess if…
To determine long-term radiological and clinical outcome of a muscle-sparing surgical technique for posterior decompression of the cervical spinal cord (cervical split laminectomy).
In this study one of the goals is to compare 7 tesla MRI with 3 tesla MRI in terms of lesion detection in epilepsy patients and depiction of specific dysplasia-related imaging characteristics. Furthermore, resected tissue will be scanned ex-vivo at…
Our aim is to investigate whether patients who are informed by video will have less preoperative anxiety than the patients who receive usual information.
The main objective is to investigate if the sensation of children with an upper OBPL is diminished. Both children that were treated conservatively as children that were surgically treated with nerve surgery in early infancy.The primary research…

To evaluate the effect of surgical decompression of the nerves in the lower extremities in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.
Our first goal is collecting high quality raw EEG waves, - measured simultaneously on multiple locations of the brain - during a pharmacological reproducible anesthesia. The goal is to observe EEG patterns that allow the development of technology to…
The objective of this pilot study is to investigate the feasibility of using the Clip system in a human setting in creating an intracranial arteriotomy in a non-occlusive, sutureless fashion. Although the focus is on the technical success of the…
Determination of prognostic value of intraoperative growth hormone levels on postoperative curation for acromegaly in patients undergoing transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma.
A study on extent-related outcome and complications for degenerative cervical spinal disease has not yet been performed. Results of this study may form the basis for a guideline regarding the extent of fixation in degenerative cervical spinal…
The objective of this study is to examine the vestibular system in three dimensions. To achieve this goal three experiments are performed. The EyeSeeCam video-oculography is validated with the scleral search coils (international golden standard).…
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…
