To assess whether preoperative radiotherapy, as an adjunct to curative-intent surgery, improves the abdominal local recurrence-free survival.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the value of postoperative cryotherapy on subjective patients-reported pain; shoulder function and quality of life in patients operated for SAPS .
Assessing the safety and efficacy of a new mesh (Parietex Composite Ventral Patch)
Reduce postoperative chronic pain after open inguinal hernia repair.
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of virtual reality on gait and stair descending in patients with an Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction.
Objective is to determine the stump volume change in lower limb amputees, in the post operative period. Especially interesting is to know when the stump volume stabilizes, and doesn*t decrease anymore, and if there are any fluctuations in volume.
The general aim of this study is to develop and evaluate imaging techniques of tendon properties of the hand that can be used in clinical studies or standard clinical care in patients with flexor tendon injuries. Specific aims:1. Develop a protocol…
This study is a pilot study to examine the presence of antisperm antibodies after laparoscopic groin hernia repair in men. The hypothesis of this pilot study is: After laparoscopic groin hernia repair with a mesh, antisperm antibodies can be…
Primary:The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of Fibrocaps plus gelatin sponge, as compared to gelatin sponge alone, for achieving hemostasis in subjects undergoing spine, liver, vascular or soft tissue surgery, when…
The aim of this pilot study is to validate the telephonic survey to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic correction of an inguinal hernia after previous repair.Hypothesis: The Q-Phone can detect telephonic recurrence in patients who underwent…
The objective of the International Hernia Mesh Registry is to observe a minimum of 3,500 patients for up to 2 years post implantation, in a post-market setting, following the use of either ETHICON Mesh Products or other marketed mesh products to…
-The objective of this study is to determine, whether the use of an perioperative echo guided unilateral TAP block has an superior effect on postoperative pain after open hernia inguinal repair compared to wound infiltration with a long acting local…
Primary question• Which bite size should be used to close a midline incision to prevent incisional hernia?Secondary questions• Is there a difference in postoperative complications between the two patient groups?• Is there a difference in…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and the outcomes of laparoscopic correction of a recurrent inguinal hernia after previous repair.
The aim of this pilot study is to analyse the effects of two different hand therapy treatments after flexor tendon repair. These two hand therapy treatments concern the active mobilization protocol of the Belfast regime and the passive mobilization…
Primary:Does the implementation of a Parietene® self-fixing semi-resorbable mesh (Covidien-Sofradim) result in less chronic inguinal pain as compared to a standard polypropylene mesh (Marlex®; Bard) in the treatment of a inguinal hernia using the…
The aim of this study is 1. to compare scarformation in two different operative protocols in a prospective manner of children who undergo sternotomy because of cardiologic disease. 2. to differentioate scar pain from sternotomy pain. 3. to estimate…
To determine the inter- and intrarater reliability of 4 different methods to define stump volume in vivo, namely: water displacement method, Omega Tracer (Ohio Willow Wood), Design TT (Otto Bock) and circumference measurement (Sytzia-method).
Compare two surgical techniques for treatment of posterior CECS.
