NCT07242196
This prospective clinical study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) and the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Effective and long-lasting postoperative analgesia is essential for patient and parental satisfaction in pediatric anesthesia. With recent advances in ultrasound technology, regional anesthesia techniques have become increasingly utilized in pediatric practice. In the TAP block, local anesthetic is injected between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles, providing analgesia typically between Torachal vertebra 10 (T10) and Lumbar vertebra (L1) dermatomes. The transversalis fascia plane block, developed as a modification of this approach, targets the proximal portions of the T12 and L1 nerves by depositing local anesthetic between the transversus abdominis muscle and the transversalis fascia, potentially offering wider sensory coverage. This study compares both blocks in terms of postoperative pain scores, duration of analgesia, and requirement for rescue analgesics in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The results are expected to contribute to the optimization of regional anesthesia techniques and improve pain management strategies in pediatric surgical patients.
NCT06847022
Transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) has been studied and has shown to be very effective in controlling postoperative pain after caesarean section but has not been studied in open gynecologic surgery with transverse incision. Inadequate pain control after open gynecologic surgery is associated with negative consequences such as chronic pelvic pain. The investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy of TFPB in controlling postoperative pain after open gynecologic surgery with transverse incision.
NCT05397652
Shoulder arthroscopy offers numerous advantages and has led to a continuous increase in procedural complexity. Adequate intraoperative visual clarity is essential for successful performance of the procedure and is primarily dependent on effective hemorrhage control.The aim of this prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of intravenously administered tranexamic acid (TXA) on intraoperative visual clarity, perioperative blood loss, procedure duration, and early postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy in the beach chair position, an area for which limited data are currently available in the literature. In both the experimental and control groups, hemoglobin levels are measured in the irrigation fluid and in patients' blood samples obtained before and after surgery. Additional outcomes include intraoperative visual clarity, duration of the procedure, postoperative shoulder swelling, postoperative pain intensity, and analgesic consumption.This study applies established scientific methods to determine whether there is a justified basis for the introduction of TXA into routine clinical practice for shoulder arthroscopy.

NCT07379112
This study, called the EuroDafodil Registry, is being conducted to understand how safe and effective the Dafodil™ and Dafodil Neo™ Pericardial Bioprosthetic heart valves are when used in routine medical practice. The registry includes adult patients (18 years or older) who require surgical replacement of their aortic or mitral heart valve, either because their natural valve is severely diseased or because a previously implanted valve is no longer working properly. All patients in this registry will receive a Dafodil™ heart valve as part of their standard surgical treatment. No experimental procedures are involved beyond usual clinical care. This is a prospective, multi-centre registry being conducted at approximately 50 hospitals across Europe, with a planned enrollment of at least 500 patients. The study does not compare treatments; instead, it follows patients who receive the Dafodil™ valve to collect real-world information on outcomes. Doctors will monitor patients during their hospital stay and through regular follow-up visits at 1 or 3 months, 1 year, 3 years, and up to 5 years after surgery. Information collected includes survival, heart valve function, complications such as blood clots or infections, heart performance on echocardiography, and quality of life. Participation in this registry is voluntary. All patients must provide written informed consent before joining. Patient privacy will be protected: personal identifiers will not be shared, and data will be coded so individuals cannot be directly identified. The results of this registry will help doctors and health authorities better understand the long-term safety, performance, and durability of the Dafodil™ heart valves in real-world clinical use.
NCT07372092
The life expectancy of the Colombian population is increasing. Older patients are frequently hospitalized and treated in surgical wards, and are treated as the general surgical population. However, geriatric patients are frequently found with additional comorbidities, besides the primary surgical diagnosis. Some diseases, like hip fractures, diverticulitis, and cancer, are common in this age range. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period requires a special care and planning to avoid complications related to the physical status, medications, and comorbidities. Studies about the geriatric surgical population are limited in the Orinoco region. The implementation of a comprehensive geriatric assesment in surgical services requires follow-up of outcomes.
NCT02910115
The objective of the study is to demonstrate whether cooling the uterine smooth muscle during cesarean section (following delivery of the fetus) will promote better uterine contraction and involution resulting in lower blood loss, use of fewer uterotonic medications, and fewer hysterectomies following cesarean section for dysfunctional labor.

NCT03893916
Drug-resistant partial epilepsies are disabling diseases for which surgical treatment may be indicated. The determination of the area to be operated (or 'epileptogenic zone') is based on a bundle of clinical arguments and neuroimaging, having a direct impact on surgical success. Epileptic patients have electrical abnormalities that can be detected with surface electrophysiological examinations such as surface EEG or MagnetoEncephalography (MEG). The intracerebral source of these abnormalities can be localized in the brain using source modeling techniques from MEG signals or EEG signals if a sufficient number of electrodes is used (\> 100, so-called high EEG technique Resolution = EEG HR). EEG HR and MEG are two infrequent state-of-the-art techniques. The independent contribution of EEG HR and MEG for the localization of the epileptogenic zone has been shown in several studies. However, several modeling studies have shown that MEG and EEG HR have a different detection capacity and spatial resolution depending on the cortical generators studied. Modeling studies suggest that MEG has better localization accuracy than EEG for most cortical sources. No direct comparison of the locating value of MEG and EEG HR for the localization of the epileptogenic zone has been performed to date in a large-scale clinical study. In this prospective study, 100 patients with partial epilepsy who are candidates for epilepsy surgery, and for some of them with intracranial EEG recording, will benefit from two advanced electrophysiological examinations including magnetoencephalographic recording (MEG). ) interictal electrophysiological abnormalities and high-resolution EEG recording (128 electrodes) in addition to the usual examinations performed as part of the pre-surgical assessment, prior to cortectomy and / or intracranial EEG recording. Based on recent work conducted in humans, we postulate: * that the MEG and the EEG HR make it possible to precisely determine the epileptogenic zone, by using two approaches of definition of the epileptogenic zone (zone operated in the cured patients, zone at the origin of the crises during the intracranial recordings), but that the MEG is a little more precise than the EEG HR for the determination of the epileptogenic zone (we will try to highlight a difference of about 10%) * that the quantitative study of the complementarity between EEG HR and MEG for modeling sources of epileptic spikes will show an added value in the use of both methods compared to the use of only one of the two methods * that it is possible to determine the epileptogenic zone by determining the MEG model zone having the highest centrality value (hub) within the intercritical network by studying networks using graph theory.
NCT07322900
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) remains a significant clinical and public health challenge despite major advances in surgical and anesthetic techniques. Patients receiving cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs)-including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices (CRTs)-constitute a unique population with high rates of multimorbidity, psychological vulnerability, and limited analgesic options due to cardiovascular comorbidities. Insufficient postoperative pain management in this group may lead to persistent pain at the generator site, neuropathic pain features, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare utilization. The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical predictors of CPSP following CIED implantation using both subjective and objective pain assessments. Pain intensity will be measured using validated self-report scales (Visual Analog Scale and DN-4 questionnaire), and objective pain thresholds will be determined using a calibrated digital pressure algometer. Quality of life will be assessed with the validated Turkish version of the Short Form-12 (SF-12) instrument. This prospective observational study will include 180 adult patients who underwent first-time CIED implantation at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cardiology Institute. Participants will be evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months post-implantation. Collected data will include preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables such as demographics, comorbidities, anesthesia type, surgical duration, and acute postoperative pain control. Using the obtained data, an artificial intelligence-based clinical decision support system will be developed to predict individual CPSP risk before implantation. The model will integrate subjective scales, objective algometric data, and clinical factors to generate personalized risk estimates. Ultimately, this system aims to improve early detection and prevention of CPSP, optimize postoperative pain management strategies, and enhance patient quality of life.

This is a study to look at whether the presence of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in the blood can help to predict whether giving adjuvant treatment after surgery can decrease the chance of the cancer coming back in people with lung cancer.
NCT00577200
Patients are currently advised to refrain from driving motor vehicles or using public transportation unescorted for a 24 hour period if they undergo any minor ambulatory surgical procedure with monitored anesthesia care (MAC).However, recently introduced short-acting anesthetics may facilitate rapid recovery and an early return to normal daily activities. The proposed study will compare newer short-acting anesthetic agents (propofol, benzodiazepine, opioid) utilized in MAC, to determine if a particular pharmacological agent, or a combination of agents, impair driving performance as evaluated by driving simulator assessment, at time of discharge from the ambulatory center after minor surgical procedures.Subjects will be grouped as patients with chronic pain undergoing procedures and those without chronic pain undergoing procedures. Subjects with pain issues will be randomized with either 1)Midazolam + Sufentanil + Propofol or 2)Midazolam + Sufentanil. There will be a third group of subjects who are controls not undergoing any procedures.
NCT07270341
The goal of this observational study is to determine the correlation between cerebral oxygenation values measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and other routine monitoring parameters in patients placed in the semi-sitting position. The primary questions investigated are : Do NIRS values correlate with heart rate, invasive mean arterial pressure, and end-tidal carbon dioxide? Do NIRS values reflect changes observed in arterial blood gas analysis? Are cerebral perfusion-related parameters associated with patients' comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension? Researchers will compare routine noninvasive monitoring (heart rate, blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation) with invasive arterial monitoring and NIRS to assess whether NIRS provides additional information for evaluating cerebral perfusion. Participants will be monitored for: Heart rate Invasive mean arterial pressure End-tidal carbon dioxide Arterial blood gas changes Cerebral oxygenation with NIRS Patients' comorbidities (e.g., diabetes, obesity, hypertension) will also be recorded, and their association with perfusion-related parameters will be analyzed.
