BackgroundA direct comparison of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 positive patients with a negative control group undergoing an operative intervention during the current pandemic is lacking, and reliable estimate assumed difference in morbidity mortality between both patient categories remains unknown.MethodsWe included all consecutive confirmed pre- or postoperative status (operated 27 hospitals) 4 emergency elective operations. A propensity score-matched clinical outcomes...
Pathologic nipple discharge (PND) is, after palpable lumps and pain, the most common breast-related reason for referral to breast surgeon is associated with cancer. However, negative mammography ultrasound, chance of PND being caused by malignancy between 5% 8%. Nevertheless, patients still undergo surgery in order rule out malignancy. Ductoscopy a minimally invasive endoscopic technique that enables direct intraductal visualization. The aim this study was evaluate (interventional)...
Objective COVID-19 has put a strain on regular healthcare worldwide. For inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), gastrointestinal surgeries were postponed and changes in treatment diagnostic procedures made. As abrupt regimens may result an increased morbidity consequent well-being of patients with IBD, the aim this study was to determine effect pandemic health-related quality life (HRQoL) IBD. Design All IBD who completed both Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) 36-Item Short Form...
Abstract Purpose Autofluorescence is an image enhancement technique used for the detection of cancer precursor lesions in pulmonary and gastrointestinal endoscopy. This study evaluated feasibility addition autofluorescence to ductoscopy intraductal breast lesions. Methods An imaging system, producing real-time computed images combining fluorescence intensities, was coupled a conventional white light system. Prior surgery, with under general anaesthesia women scheduled therapeutic or...
Previous studies have shown that breast cancer patients with a low socioeconomic status (SES) are less likely to undergo postmastectomy immediate reconstruction (IBR). However, these were performed in countries unequal access healthcare. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigate whether SES also contributes likelihood receiving IBR country equal healthcare.Patients stage I or II diagnosed between 2011 and 2018 who underwent mastectomy selected from Netherlands Cancer Registry....
Ductoscopy is a minimally invasive micro-endoscopic approach for direct visualization of intraductal lesions the breast. Challenges ductoscopy are low sensitivity detecting malignancy, lack proper biopsy device, and adequate treatment lesions. This study will analyze three new approaches to enhance effectiveness interventional in patients with (premalignant) lesions: narrow-band imaging (NBI), tools, laser ablation. The main aims present improve diagnostic accuracy therapeutic efficacy...
Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that socioeconomic status (SES) influences breast cancer therapy. However, these were performed in countries with unequal access to healthcare. Therefore, the aim of this study is investigate whether SES also contributes likelihood receiving a certain therapy Netherlands, country supposedly equal Materials and methods From Netherlands Cancer Registry, 105,287 patients newly diagnosed stage I or II between 2011 2018 selected for analysis. was...
Background: Most patients suffering from pathological nipple discharge (PND) undergo local surgical procedures because standard radiological imaging often fails to reveal the cause. Ductoscopy is a minimally invasive endoscopic technique that enables direct intraductal visualization and can avoid unnecessary diagnostic procedures. Hence, with recurrent or persistent PND after an unsuccessful ductoscopy procedure still surgery. This study describes experience of second in without suspicious...
Abstract Background Pathologic nipple discharge (PND) is a common complaint often associated with breast cancer. However, when ultrasound and mammography are negative, the chances of malignancy lower than 5%. Currently, major duct excision microdochectomy recommended to alleviate symptoms definitely rule out malignancy, but can cause infections breastfeeding problems. Ductoscopy minimally invasive endoscopy technique that allows visualization mammary ducts may not only obviate surgery also...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has influenced (surgical) care worldwide. Measures were taken to prioritize surgical in order maintain capacity for COVID-19 healthcare. However, the influence of these measures on emergency surgery is limited. Therefore, aim this study describe trends and determine factors influencing risk postoperative complications during first wave pandemic.This multicentre retrospective cohort investigated all patients operated from March 9th June 30th, 2020. The...
Abstract Postponement of surgical inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) care may lead to progression. This study aims determine the influence delayed IBD procedures on clinical outcomes. multicenter retrospective cohort included patients who underwent a procedure during Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic from March 16, 2020, December 31, and were compared pre-COVID-19 cohort. The primary endpoint was determining number (major) postoperative complications. Secondary endpoints time interval...
During the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, intensive care unit (ICU) capacity was scarce. Since surgical patients also require ICU admission, determining which factors lead to an increased risk of postoperative admission is essential. This study aims determine led unplanned during COVID-19 pandemic.This multicentre retrospective cohort investigated all who underwent surgery between 9 March 2020 and 30 June 2020. The primary endpoint number requiring admission. secondary leading...
