SURGICAL PROCEDURE, UNSPECIFIED

This study looked at 87 adults who had a type of back problem called isthmic spondylolisthesis, where a small bone in the spine breaks and a vertebra slips forward. All patients had a two-part surgery to fuse the bones together. The goal was to see if the surgery safely and effec…

This study tested whether using 3D-printed models to plan and practice orbital decompression surgery can improve safety and results for people with thyroid eye disease. Twelve adults with inactive moderate-to-severe disease took part. The goal was to see if this personalized appr…

This study looked at two types of nerve blocks (TFP and QLB) to see which one works better for pain after lower belly surgery in children aged 3 to 7. The goal was to reduce pain and the need for extra pain medicine. 66 children took part, and researchers measured their pain scor…

This study tested two ways to numb the shoulder after surgery: the standard interscalene block and a combination of two other blocks (infraclavicular and anterior suprascapular). The goal was to see if the combination could provide equal pain relief without causing temporary diap…

This study looked at whether taking a laxative (polyethylene glycol 3350) before surgery helps reduce discomfort with bowel movements after surgery in women having minimally invasive pelvic prolapse repair. 74 women who did not have constipation before surgery took part. They wer…

This study tested whether avoiding mask ventilation during anesthesia induction improves the surgeon's view in robotic colorectal surgery. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to either mask ventilation or no mask ventilation before intubation. The goal was to see if no mask venti…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks for pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery in 60 adults. The standard interscalene block can sometimes weaken the diaphragm, making breathing harder. The newer infraspinatus-teres minor interfascial block aims to avoid that side effec…

This study tested whether a special conversation guide, built into electronic health records, could help adults manage pain and improve physical function after surgery without using drugs. Over 81,000 participants were involved. The goal was to see if this approach reduces pain, …

This study looked at 126 adults having lower back surgery to see if using a special scan during surgery (intraoperative scanning with navigation) helps place screws more accurately than the usual X-ray method (fluoroscopy). The goal was to check screw placement and measure radiat…

This study looked at how well surgical teams and patients use a non-drug pain management program called NOHARM after surgery. Researchers interviewed patients and care team members to find out what helps or hinders the use of these methods. The goal is to improve pain management …

This study tested a medical device that automatically gives a pain medicine (remifentanil) during surgery based on the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and a pain index. The goal was to see if the device uses less medicine compared to standard practice. The study included 52…
