Cystectomy

This study aims to introduce a perioperative antifungal prophylaxis for patients undergoing cystectomy: surgically removal of the urinary bladder with construction of a urinary diversion. We wish to investigate the effect of antifungal prophylaxis on complications after the operation.

We will conduct this study to estimate the effect of laparoscopic cystectomy on ovarian reserve in endometriotic cysts versus non-endometriotic cysts.

The goal of this study is to identify the genes as well as their association with Nalbuphine. This will help the investigator to identify opioid vulnerability in Pakistani population in the postoperative patients and will contribute to overcoming the opioid crisis, resulting in better and safer outcomes. Research question is: Is there any association between the underlying genetic variations and the analgesic efficacy of Nalbuphine in postoperative patients? The Research Objectives are 1. To identify the underlying genes in postoperative patients having pain. 2. To find an association between identified genes and nalbuphine clinical efficacy. Procedure: After the written informed consent adult men and women will be enrolled in the study. On the day of surgery in the preoperative area, a 5 ml blood sample will be drawn before surgery and will be sent to laboratory for analysis. After routine hemodynamic monitoring in the operative room, general anesthesia will be given including nalbuphine. Standard routine anesthesia monitoring will be done and maintained while monitoring heart rate, ECG, NIBP oxygen saturation, ETCO2 and temperature. Incremental analgesia will be provided whenever needed. After extubation and shifting to recovery room the 2nd sample of blood will be taken and will be sent for analysis. Pain score, nausea vomiting, sedation, requirement of analgesia will be assessed till 24 hours postoperatively.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of subdiaphragmatic spray of 0.08% lidocaine in relieving postoperative acute pain and psychological status of patients undergoing single-port laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecological diseases, and to provide evidence-based basis for optimizing postoperative analgesic strategies. Methods: A single-center, prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. A total of 100 patients scheduled for elective single-port laparoscopic surgery due to uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, or other benign gynecological conditions were selected from the General Gynecology Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. They were divided into the experimental group (n=50) and the control group (n=50) using a random number table. The experimental group received 50 ml of 0.08% lidocaine solution sprayed on the bilateral subdiaphragmatic regions at the start of surgery, while the control group underwent standard ERAS without any pharmaceutical intervention in the subdiaphragmatic area. The primary endpoint was the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score for resting pain at 6 hours postoperatively. The secondary endpoints included NRS scores at 1, 2, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively, total consumption of analgesics within 48 hours after surgery, incidence of adverse reactions, patient satisfaction, and scores of psychological and sleep scales (Distress Thermometer, GAD-7, etc.) at 30 days postoperatively. SPSS 25.0 software was used for data analysis. Quantitative data were analyzed by t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, and qualitative data were analyzed by χ² test or Fisher's exact test. Repeated measurement data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: After the completion of the study, differences in NRS scores, analgesic consumption, psychological status and other indicators between the two groups will be compared. Conclusion: The results of this study will clarify the clinical value of intraoperative diaphragmatic infiltration with low-concentration lidocaine in postoperative analgesia after single-port laparoscopic gynecological surgery, and provide references for postoperative pain management and psychological intervention.

Radical cystectomy is the standard of care for muscle invasive bladder cancer, however despite advances, it is still associated with high morbidity. Many complications may be driven by dehydration and it is unclear if a home intravenous fluid (IVF) infusion program post-operatively, which is an accepted standard practice, is beneficial. This study is a single institution randomized controlled trial where patients who choose to undergo radical cystectomy for bladder cancer will be randomized to an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol with a home IVF program, consisting of 1 liter (L) of crystalloid fluid three times per week for four weeks, or ERAS protocol alone. The primary outcome will be 90-day hospital re-admissions, with secondary outcomes including 30 and 90 day complications.

What influence does robot-assisted surgical treatment in the sense of a radical cystectomy and possibly bladder reconstruction have on blood loss, pain and transfusion requirements? We intend to conduct a corresponding prospective observational study at a tertiary centre.

The aim of this trial is to test whether postoperative antibiotics targeted towards bacteria in the urine can reduce the risk of infection after surgical removal of the bladder (cystectomy) compared to a standardised antibiotic prophylaxis. Participants undergoing cystectomy will be randomly assigned to postoperatively receive (A) a standardised orally administered antibiotic prophylaxis currently given at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen or (B) a conventional orally administered antibiotic prophylaxis targeting bacteria found in the urine postoperatively. The investigators' hypothesis is that the targeted prophylactic antibiotic strategy will reduce the number of infection-related readmissions within 90 days of surgery compared to the standardised prophylaxis.

A child is eligible to participate in this study because she is having surgery on her ovary. The investigators may obtain a sample of any discarded tissue from the surgery for an ovarian tissue library. This study is being conducted to understand how common ovarian conditions effect the number and quality of ovarian follicles and the reproductive potential of the ovary.

The purpose of this research is to validate the prehabilitation program which is defined as a set of interventions meant to prepare the body physically and nutritionally for the cystectomy procedure.
