Most patients undergoing spine surgery with pedicle screw instrumentation will experience insufficient pain relief in the first three days after surgery, whereafter postoperative pain can be managed with conventional, non-opioid analgesics in most…
The primary objective of this study is to determine patient perspective of and satisfaction with follow-up type and frequency after THA and TKA. Therefore, we will send surveys to patients who had a THA or TKA between 1 and 15 years ago.
The standard-of-care sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure in paediatric cancer patients consists of a preoperative intradermal injection with 99mTechnetium-nanocolloid as radiotracer in combination with an intraoperative injection of blue dye for…
Comparison of hearing preservation and outcome of two fundamentally different cochlear implants designs (LW or PM) and the two most used surgical approaches (RW or CO). Secondly, asses the structure preservation (i.e., scalar position) of each…
Does isolated cup revision surgery or liner exchange through the anterior approach result in increased functional status and higher patient satisfaction than through the posterolateral approach?
The primary objective of the proposed research is to investigate in patients with PDD the efficacy of STN-DBS with best oral medical treatment (DBS-group) for disabling motor symptoms during off-drug phase compared to best oral medical treatment…
To assess the effectiveness of a cerclage in women with a twin pregnancy with a midpregnancy short cervix compared to standard treatment (no cerclage) in the prevention of extreme preterm birth (PTB) < 28 weeks of GA.
This study will determine whether there is a difference in disease free survival for patients treated with either a 1cm excision margin or 2cm margin for clinical stage II (pT2b-pT4b) primary cutaneous melanoma (AJCC 8th edition, Table 1). The…
The aim of this study is to reduce the need for colectomy and its* associated morbidity and mortality in patients with high-risk pT1 or low-risk pT2 colon carcinoma after endoscopic polypectomy by performing a (robot-assisted) laparoscopic wedge…
To study the human adult cochlea, in specific it's RNA and protein expression patterns and morphology.
The goal of this study is to investigate which treatment(-s) lead to the best outcome by using existing variation of practice.
The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of CAL-WR as primary and curative colon-preserving treatment for T1 colon cancer. Our primary endpoint is reduction of oncologic resections for low-risk T1 colon cancer. As secondary…
To evaluate RRS with delayed RRO as an alternative for RRSO in BRCA1/2 gene germline mutation carriers. We hypothesize that RRS with delayed RRO leads to an equal ovarian cancer incidence when compared to RRSO.
To compare safety and efficacy of treatment with sentinel lymph node biopsy guided elective neck irradiation versus standard elective neck irradiation in patients receiving definitive (chemo)radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the…
The INFINITE trail aims to successfully implement ICG-fluorescence for identifying the SLN by: 1) guiding the implementation process using the Effective Implementation of Change model developed by Grol and Wensing; 2) identifying and understanding…
Primary Objective: To investigate the change of objectively measured physical activity over time, from preoperative, to being placed on the waiting list for cardiac surgery, to postoperative. Secondary Objective(s): To…
Patient satisfaction after rotator cuff rupture is usually very high. Studies evaluating open and arthroscopic repairs for all different tear sizes have shown patient satisfaction rates of 87% to 100%. However, high satisfaction does not mean that…
Máxima MC is organising this study. The aim of the study is to gain insight into the effect ofdifferent treatments (medication, IUD, endometrial ablation, uterus removal) formenstruation-related complaints on labour and educational participation.…
The aim of this study is to describe the scar quality in a paediatric burn population treated with Glyaderm up to 12 months after surgery.
To demonstrate the feasibility of single session minimally invasive concurrent robotic liver resection and cone beam CT-guided percutaneous ablation of colorectal liver metastases in a hybrid operating room and evaluate its outcomes.
