This study aims to provide a more rational evidence base for appropriate management for metastatic melanoma in the groin LNs, through assessing the effect of the addition of ipsilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy on patient disease-free survival (DFS),…
To compare ICG-99Tc-nanocolloid to 99mTc-Senti-Scint for sentinel node mapping in patients with malignant melanoma of the trunk, an extremity or in the head and neck area.
There are indications that early laser treatment of wounds can reduce scar formation. With the laser device the wound will be heated, which is thought to be responsible for a reduced inflammatory reaction and hence for a reduced scar formation. The…
Primary Objective:To assess the difference in healing complications up to and 21 days post-operatively between postsurgical incisions treated with PICO compared with standard of care Incision healing complications will include;* Skin necrosis*…
With this pilot study we aim to prove that our optical spectroscopy system can provide accurate identification of nerve tissue during surgery.
The objective of this study is to find the prevalence and type of sensibility problems after upper blepharoplasty. Also we will study the postoperative course of possible problems in sensibility.
To identify the mechanism(s) of pain in patients with chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair.
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
Evaluation of the effect ofdiagnostic and therapeutic proces in reducing pain in patients suspected with ACNES.Is injection of lidocaine in patients suspected of ACNES leading to a larger group of people with a clinically relevant reduction of pain…
The principal objective of the study is to determine if the performance of the new technique (magnetic tracer and magnetometer) is equivalent to the performance of the standard technique (patent blue dye and radioistope; or radioisotope alone). The…
The high morbidity rate of the perineal wound has resulted in a continuing discussion on how to close the perineal defect after APR. Our research group recently published the BIOPEX-study (NL42094.018.12), in which 104 patients were randomized…
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 investigate whether the omission of surgical gowns during CTR and TVR surgeries af-fects postoperative wound infections
This study aims to demonstrate that the new generation of the HAPI, the Wireless Perfusion Imager (WIPI) is able to visualise the microcirculation of the abdominal flap and the newly reconstructed breast during DIEP flap breast reconstruction. The…
To determine whether fluorescence imaging using ICG for the assessment of DIEP flap perfusion during surgery decreases the occurrence of fat necrosis compared to standard intraoperative clinical assessment of DIEP flap perfusion.
Our primary objective is to determine critical values of tissue perfusion for reconstructive surgery be quantification using near-infrared fluorescence. The fluorescence signal will be derived from a signal to noise ratio. The primary outcome…
To investigate the short-term and long-term effects of burn injuries on growth and development of paediatric patients of all ages relative to the size and degree of the burn injury.
