3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is an unblinded, randomized control trial of obese women to evaluate the impact of the Traxi Panniculus Retractor (TPR) on the cesarean operative time and surgical blood loss when compared to silk tape.
This prospective, open-label, randomized-controlled trial is designed to evaluate the use of the Traxi panniculus retractor-- a commercially available Class I FDA-exempt device will improve surgical outcomes, cardiopulmonary function, and provider/patient satisfaction in morbidly obese women undergoing cesarean delivery.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a program to optimize patient physical fitness and nutrition ("prehabilitation") prior to and after plastic surgery involving the abdomen improves surgical outcomes. The investigators hope to determine how a multimodal peri-operative prehabilitation program can be most effective in engaging and motivating patients to physically and mentally get ready for an abdominally-based plastic surgery operation. The overall goal is to determine if this program will improve post-operative recovery after abdominally-based plastic surgery. The importance of this new knowledge is better understanding of ways that plastic surgeons can improve outcomes, engagement, and experience of patients undergoing abdominally-based plastic surgery operations. This would translate to increased healthcare value and better long-term outcomes.
