Optimizing Treatment of Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction
Recruiting
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is one of the most common causes of serious gastrointestinal disease in the US. Adhesion-related SBO (aSBO) is usually treated by the placement of a nasogastric tube (NGT) to decompress the stomach, administration of intravenous (IV) fluids and observation by a surgical team. The purpose of this feasibility study is to determine the potential for implementation of treatment protocols for aSBO and determine the feasibility of randomizing patients with aSBO to receiv...

Blunt Fascial vs. Veress Needle Peritoneal Entry in Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery
Recruiting
This study aims to investigate the effect of two peritoneal entry techniques on intraoperative and post-operative outcomes among patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery with a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon. Patients will be randomized to either blunt fascial or veress needle peritoneal entry. Insufflation times, failed entries, complications and post-operative pain scores will be collected. The investigators hypothesize that the blunt entry technique will be associated with shorter in... Read More
