Abstract Background: The preoperative period (prehabilitation) may represent a more appropriate time than the postoperative to implement an intervention. impact of prehabilitation on recovery function al exercise capacity was thus studied in patients undergoing colorectal resection for cancer. Methods: A parallel-arm single-blind superiority randomized controlled trial conducted. Seventy-seven were receive either (n = 38) or rehabilitation 39). Both groups received home-based intervention...
Rotator cuff tears represent a large burden of muscle-tendon injuries in our aging population. While small can be repaired surgically with good outcomes, critical size are marked by muscle atrophy, fibrosis, and fatty infiltration, which lead to failed repair, frequent re-injury, chronic disability. Previous animal studies have indicated that Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) signaling may play an important role the development these pathologies after injury. Here, we demonstrated...
We measured the distance 112 patients walked in 6 min, as well their peak oxygen consumption pedalling a bicycle, week before scheduled resection of benign or malignant colorectal disease. The correlated with consumption, former 'accounting' for about half variation latter, r2 0.52 (95% CI 0.38–0.64), p < 0.0001. In first postoperative month, 42/112 experienced complication. multivariate analysis, complications were less likely longer walking distances and increasing age: odds ratio CI)...
<h3>Importance</h3> Postoperative recovery is difficult to define or measure. Research addressing interventions aimed improve after abdominal surgery often focuses on measures such as duration of hospital stay and complication rates. Although these clinical parameters are relevant, understanding patients' perspectives regarding postoperative fundamental guiding patient-centered care. <h3>Objective</h3> To elucidate the meaning from perspective patients undergoing surgery. <h3>Design,...
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of SDD protocol with postdischarge follow-up using a mobile phone app in patients undergoing elective minimally-invasive colectomy. Summary Background Data: Discharge before gastrointestinal recovery and use health technology for remote may allow after colectomy within an ERP. Methods: Adult laparoscopic or loop ileostomy reversal from February 2020 to November were screened eligibility. Patients eligible if they lived 30-minute drive hospital, had...
To compare the incidence of incisional hernia (IH) between midline and transverse specimen extraction site in patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy.Midline incision is most commonly used colectomy, but has high IH risk. may be lower for incision.A single-center superiority trial was conducted. Eligible colectomy were randomly assigned to or extraction. Primary outcome at 1 year. Power calculation required 76 per group detect a reduction from 20% 5%. Secondary outcomes included...
Rationale: In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may depend on extent to which multiorgan dysfunction contributes risk death, and precision with PEEP is titrated attenuate atelectrauma without exacerbating overdistension. Objectives: To evaluate whether lung mechanics modified treatment in EPVent-2 (Esophageal Pressure-guided Ventilation 2) trial, a multicenter trial esophageal (Pes)-guided versus empirical high moderate severe...
