The aim was to compare the results of a Lichtenstein hernioplasty using a self grippng mesh with the classical Lichtenstein repair using a polypropylene sutured mesh in terms of post-operative and chronic inguinodynia (caused by nerve irritation,…
Objective of the study is to evaluate the different therapeutic options of lymphedema. Which treatment strategy is most cost-effective in the management of patients with breast cancer associated lymph edema: manual lymphatic drainage alone,…
To identify the mechanism(s) of pain in patients with chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair.
This trial will compare the effectiveness and possible adverse effects of five common wound dressing materials to treat donor sites of split skin grafts.
The objectives are to assess the efficacy and safety of TachoSil in sealing the dura mater to prevent postoperative CSF-leakage / clinically evident pseudomeningocele following skull base surgery, by comparison to current practice.
Evaluation whether the use of the progrip mesh compared to the standard sutured mesh results in less chronic pain.
To compare treatment of primary Dupuytren*s contracture by standard limited (dermo)fasciectomy and by the modified percutaneous release combined with fat grafting. We focus specifically on return to function and if applicable to return to work (…
Proof that laser treatment will be better than the routine method using curettage. Besides it is claimed that laser treatment is less painfull.This will be assessed by photography, in which only black white (grey) evaluations are made. Colours are…
A randomised controlled trial is performed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the skin stretching technique for two categories:a. acute burn wounds: wound closure by means of skin stretching should lead to a significant reduction of scar…
To investigate whether application of Steri-Strip* S will lead to: 1) shorter treating time 2) improved satisfaction with the patient 3) improved wound healing4) improved cost-efficiency5) improved satisfaction with the attendant
The main goal of the trial is to establish whether laparoscopic incisional hernia repair is superior to conventional open incisional hernia repair in terms of cost-effectiveness. This is measured through length of hospital stay and quality of life.…
To assess the change in scar pliability measured by the Cutometer (primary outcome) pre- and 12 months post grafting and to quantify clinical and histological improvements of scar characteristics with the combination therapy of SVF enriched fat…
Primary Objective: Primary objective of this trial will be to determine whether iNPWT reduces the number of patients with clinically relevant* SSOs after (potentially) contaminated ventral hernia repair <30 days after surgery. *A SSO is…
To study the most relevant outcome measures and a cost-effectiveness analysis of laparoscopic PIRS technique compared to open hernia repair in infants aged 6 months to 16 years of age with a primary unilateral inguinal hernia
This pilot study assesses the performance of a robot-assisted microsurgery. Lympho-venular anastomosis(LVA) is the most difficult procedure in microsurgery at this moment. This LVA technique is applied to treat for example breast cancer related…
The main objectives of this study are to investigate to what extent:1) VRT and MT can contribute to pain reduction compared to patients who receive no VRT and MT intervention during complex wound care; and2) VRT can contribute to pain reduction…
Primary objective: Investigation of mean peak plantar pressure at the location of the diabetic foot ulcer and at 6 plantar regions of the foot (i.e. hallux, digits, first metatarsal, second to fifth metatarsals, midfoot, and heel) during total…
To investigate if the use of initial NPWTi leads to a faster wound healing compared to standard wound care only in patients with a POWI.
To investigate the effect of a human-derived donor skin substitute Glyaderm when combined with negative pressure wound therapy in comparison to the gold standard treatment.
Primary Objective: To determine the (cost)effectiveness of 5-fluorouracil cream (5FU) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), compared to surgical excision (SE) in Bowen*s Disease (BD).Secondary Objectives: To determine the (cost)effectiveness of 5-…
