Objective A randomized, controlled, multicenter trial was undertaken in 102 patients with objective evidence of severe acute pancreatitis to evaluate whether selective decontamination reduces mortality. Summary Background Data Secondary pancreatic infection is the major cause death necrotizing pancreatitis. Controlled clinical trials study effect such are not available. Methods Between April 22, 1990 and 19, 1993, were admitted 16 participating hospitals. Patients entered into if indicated,...
Several studies have been performed to identify risk factors for abdominal wound dehiscence. No model had yet developed the general surgical population. The objective of present study was independent dehiscence and develop a recognize high-risk patients. Identification patients offers opportunities intervention strategies.Medical registers from January 1985 December 2005 were searched. Patients who primarily undergone appendectomies or nonsurgical (e.g., urological) operations excluded. Each...
Importance: Incisional hernia is the most frequent surgical complication after laparotomy.Up to 30% of all patients undergoing laparotomy develop an incisional hernia.Objective: To compare laparoscopic vs open ventral repair with regard postoperative pain and nausea, operative results, perioperative complications, hospital admission, recurrence rate.Design: Multicenter randomized controlled trial between May 1999 December 2006 a mean follow-up period 35 months.Setting: All were operated on...
Anastomotic leakage remains a major complication after surgery for colorectal carcinoma, but its origin is still unknown. Our hypothesis was that early anastomotic mostly related to technical failure of the anastomosis, and late healing deficiencies.The aim this study assess differences in risk factors leakage.This retrospective cohort study.The Dutch ColoRectal Audit nationwide project collects information on all patients undergoing cancer.All surgical resection cancer Netherlands between...
This randomized controlled trial was designed to compare the most common technique for open mesh repair (Lichtenstein) with currently preferred minimally invasive (total extra peritoneal, TEP) surgical correction of inguinal hernia.A total 660 patients were Lichtenstein or TEP procedure. Primary outcomes postoperative pain, length hospital stay, period until complete recovery, and quality life (QOL). Recurrences, operating time, complications, chronic costs secondary endpoints. study...
Abstract Background Laparoscopic surgery has become popular during the last decade, mainly because it is associated with fewer postoperative complications than conventional open approach. It remains unclear, however, if this benefit observed after laparoscopic correction of perforated peptic ulcer (PPU). The goal present study was to evaluate whether closure a PPU as safe correction. Methods based on randomized controlled trial in which nine medical centers from Netherlands participated. A...
This study aims to increase knowledge of colorectal anastomotic leakage by performing an incidence and risk factor analysis with new potential factors in a Dutch tertiary referral center.All patients whom received primary anastomosis between 1997 2007 were selected means operation codes. Patient records studied for population description analysis.In total 739 included. Anastomotic (AL) occurred 64 (8.7%) nine (14.1%) died. Median interval diagnosis was 8 days. The AL higher as the...
Laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer is associated with improved recovery and similar outcomes at 3 5 years in comparison open surgery. However, long-term survival rates have rarely been reported. Here, we present recurrence of the Dutch patients included COlon or Open Resection (COLOR) trial 10-year follow-up.Between March 1997 2003, non-metastatic were recruited by 29 hospitals eight countries randomised to either laparoscopic Main inclusion criterion COLOR was solitary adenocarcinoma...
