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…
Renal artery denervation (RDN) on top of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) will improve the success of ablative therapy for patients who have paroxysmal and/or persistent atrial fibrillation, with out of range hypertension (systolic >140 mmHg or…
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two distalisation techniques of a gastric bypass in revisional surgery with standardised limb lengths in total weight loss (TWL) and the need for treatment for protein calorie malnutrition (PCM…
To study the human adult cochlea, in specific it's RNA and protein expression patterns and morphology.
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…
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.
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…
To determine whether KJD is non-inferior on patient reported effectiveness as compared to a KP (i.e. usual care) for relatively young patients with end-stage knee OA. For the substudy: the primary objective is to predict the benefit from knee…
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.
The goal of this study is to investigate which treatment(-s) lead to the best outcome by using existing variation of practice.
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 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…
The primary objective of the pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a definitive trial to determine the effect of arthroscopic soft tissue stabilization vs. non-surgical treatment on rates of recurrent anterior …
To compare postamputation pain (phantom limb pain and residual limb pain) one year postoperatively in patients receiving a lower extremity amputation with standard neurectomy versus those who received targeted muscle reinnervation.
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.…
