SURGICAL PROCEDURE, UNSPECIFIED

This study tested whether using 3D-printed models to plan and guide orbital decompression surgery can reduce complications for people with thyroid eye disease. Twelve adults with inactive moderate-to-severe disease were randomly assigned to either standard surgery or surgery plan…

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 a medical device that automatically gives the pain medicine remifentanil during surgery, based on the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and a pain index. 52 adults having burn surgery took part. The goal was to see if the device could reduce the total amount…

This study looked at whether giving women a laxative (polyethylene glycol 3350) before surgery for pelvic prolapse could make bowel movements less uncomfortable after surgery. 74 women who did not have constipation took part. They either took the laxative both before and after su…

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 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 how different surgical teams adopt a non-drug pain management program called NOHARM. Researchers interviewed 372 patients and care team members to find out what helps or hinders its use. The goal is to improve how hospitals implement these methods to reduce r…

This study looked at whether using a special 3D scan during surgery, combined with a navigation system, helps place screws more accurately in the lower back compared to the usual X-ray method. It involved 126 adults having lumbar spine surgery. The main goal was to see if the new…
