Aim of this pilot study is to determine which intervention groups are feasible in a larger trial which aims to a compare postoperative pain and complication rates in moderate versus deep neuromuscular blockade, and normal versus low intra-abdominal…
We hypothesize that acupuncture reduces the dosage of sedatives for colonoscopies. We will compare three groups to test our hypothesis. One group will receive verum-acupuncture, another group sham-acupuncture and the third group will be the control…
Primary objective is to evaluate the use of deep muscle relaxation versus on indication only on surgical and anesthesia conditions in patients for endoscopic esophageal resection.Secondary objective is to evaluate the (hypothetical) dose of…
Determining the surplus value of telehealth in addition to the standard program after a bariatric procedure
To determine whether surgery induces changes in the liver vasculature of patients with colorectal cancer.
To identify circulating mediators that are released after surgery and which are responsible for macrophage activation.
To provide evidence whether a new perioperative care pathway for patients requiring an ileo- or colostomy reduces complication rates and improves quality of life against acceptable costs. Previous national surveys among ostomates and stoma care…
The primary objective is to examine the predictive value of several types of endogenous inhibitory functions for the risk and severity of acute and persistent pain after surgery. As primary outcome parameter, patients will be asked to keep a pain…
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…
1.What are ulcerative colitis patients* understanding of their risk of colon cancer and the benefit of colonoscopy?2. What is ulcerative colitis patients* threshold of cancer risk before accepting colectomy in the setting of dysplasia?3. What are…
The feasibility of preparing untreated esophageal adenocarcinoma endoscopic biopsies towards DNA/RNA samples suitable for next-generation sequencing.
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether quality of life can be improved by personalised and timed guidance, and/or use of the peer-support platform; as provided by a patient-centred mobile application.
The aim is to improve compliance to the ERAS protocol. Therefore an application for smartphone will be developed to be used by the patient undergoing colorectal surgery. Objective of this study is to generate evidence that a mobile app can activate…
To determine the effect of weight loss after bariatric surgery (BS) on different measures of cognition, brain function and structure investigated with various neuropsychological tests and studying various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters…
To implement and assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of bariatric surgery in adolescents with severe obesity together with a multidisciplinary care pathway around the procedure.
To assess the post-operative quality of recovery after robot-assisted as compared to open extended lateral pancreaticojejunostomy.
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that continuous wireless monitoring on the postsurgical ward will improve patient outcome, measured as disability-free survival at three months after surgery. Further, we hypothesize that this tight…
Primary objective is to gain insight into risk acceptation of serious adverse events (<30 days) in bariatric surgery. Secondary objectives are the expected weight loss, risk acceptation of mortality, risk acceptation of serious adverse events…
Physical ExeRcise Following Esophageal Cancer Treatment (PERFECT) Study: a randomized clinical trial
Primary Objective: - To investigate whether a 12-week exercise intervention increases HRQoL in patients after curatively intended EC surgery compared to a usual care control group.Secondary Objective(s): - To investigate whether a 12-week exercise…
Primary Objective: To further develop and evaluate a personalised patient-centred surveillance programme including a feedback platform for patients after curative treatment for CRC in terms of health-related quality of life (HRQoL).The goal is for…
