To perform a two-part study of pancreaticoduodenectomy in the Netherlands, focusing on effects risk factors outcomes single high-volume hospital and effect volume outcomes.Hospital surgeon caseload can be related to rates complications death, influence volume-dependent. Provision regionalized care should take this into account.In part A, single-institution database 300 consecutive patients undergoing was divided two periods with similar numbers patients. Overall complications, deaths, stay,...
In Brief Objective: To evaluate the effect of a prophylactic gastrojejunostomy on development gastric outlet obstruction and quality life in patients with unresectable periampullary cancer found during explorative laparotomy. Summary Background Data: Several studies, including one randomized trial, propagate to perform routinely be Others suggest an increase postoperative complications. Controversy still exists general surgical practice if double bypass should performed these patients....
Modern health care focuses on shared decision making (SDM) because of its positive effects patient satisfaction, therapy compliance, and outcomes. Patients' knowledge about their illness available treatment options, gained through medical education, is one the key drivers for SDM. Current education relies heavily consultation known to be ineffective.This study aimed determine whether providing patients with information in a subdivided, categorized, interactive manner via an educational app...
In recent years, duration of hospitalisation after knee arthroplasty has decreased and fast track outpatient surgery protocols have been developed. Studies shown that is feasible, safe, cost effective. However, the psychological well-being patients undergoing never described before. The purpose this study was to investigate how experience for unicompartmental (UKA), examining levels anxiety depression, satisfaction, pain. It hypothesized same-day discharge following UKA would not result in...
Previous studies comparing high tibial osteotomy (HTO) with unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) have seldom accounted for differing patient characteristics between both groups. This study compared patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of HTO and UKA patients, adjusted preoperative PROs, osteoarthritis grade sex.A retrospective was performed analysing prospectively collected namely the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) pain/satisfaction scores, preoperatively at 6 months, 12 months 24 postoperatively....
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasingly being performed among working patients suffering from osteoarthritis. Two out of ten do not return to work (RTW) after TKA. Little evidence available about these guide clinicians. Therefore, this study investigates patients' characteristics associated with no RTW. A multicenter retrospective cohort was having undergone a primary TKA during 2005–2010. The following preoperative were assessed: age at surgery, sex, comorbidity, body mass index...
Abstract Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful procedure, although up to 20% of patients remain dissatisfied. Preoperative identification appropriate TKA candidates essential for improving satisfaction. This study investigated if preoperative radiographic severity was associated with postoperative pain, function, and quality life after TKA. We performed cross-sectional cohort including 327 patients. Radiographic determined by two independent radiologists using the Kellgren Lawrence...
Distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) is a well-accepted procedure for the treatment of deformities and associated symptoms including osteoarthritis, especially in younger physically active patients whom knee arthroplasty undesirable. Still, there an apparent need evidence on relevant patient outcomes, return to sport (RTS) work (RTW), further justify use instead surgical alternatives. Therefore, purpose present study was investigate extent timing patients’ RTS RTW after DFO. This monocentre,...
Background: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is increasingly used in young and physically active patients with knee osteoarthritis. These have high expectations, including return to sport (RTS). By retaining native structures, a highly knee-demanding activities seems possible. However, evidence on patient-related outcomes, RTS, sparse. Also, time RTS has never been described. Furthermore, prognostic factors for after HTO investigated. data may further justify as surgical alternative arthroplasty....
We analysed the operative technique, morbidity and functional outcome of osteotomy plate fixation for malunited fractures forearm sustained in childhood. A total 20 consecutive patients underwent corrective 21 at a mean age 12 years (4 to 25). The time between injury was 30 months (2 140). After removal plate, one patient suffered transient dysaesthesia superficial radial nerve. gain range movement 85 degrees (20 140 ). interval osteotomy, significantly influenced (p=0.011 p=0.004,...
Diagnostic accuracy study.To evaluate the diagnostic of Thessaly test compared with an arthroscopic examination in patients suspected meniscal tears.The was introduced to improve clinical detecting tears. This appears be a valuable alternative other tests usually performed, but additional data are required.Patients tears, referred hospital for surgery, were eligible. The alone and combination McMurray considered as index tests, arthroscopy used reference test. Experienced physical therapists...
It is not yet known if unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) patients are more likely to return work sooner or have improved ability (i.e., workability) than total (TKA) patients. The following questions were addressed: assessed determine: (1) whether they returned UKA compared TKA; (2) had better WORQ function scores TKA patients; and (3) higher workability greater satisfaction regarding A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed that included at least 2 years after having...
Background: Knee arthroplasty (KA) is increasingly performed in relatively young, active patients. This heterogeneous patient population often has high expectations, including work resumption and performance of knee-demanding leisure-time activities. Goal attainment scaling (GAS) may personalize rehabilitation by using patient-specific, activity-oriented goals. Since unmet expectations are a leading cause dissatisfaction after KA, personalized improve satisfaction. We hypothesized that,...
