Celiac Plexus Block for Chronic Pancreatitis RCT

Prospective Randomized Trial of EUS Guided Celiac Plexus Block for Chronic Pancreatitis

Primary outcomes will be the CHANGE pain score (as assessed by the visual-analogue-scale and M-ANNHEIM score assessed between time 0 and 24 weeks post procedure in those who undergo EUS without block (control) compared to those who undergo EUS with block

differences in number of hospital re-admissions for pancreatic pain assessed at 24 weeks between those who underwent the block and did not undergo the celiac block

CHANGE in pain medication requirement 24 weeks following celiac block in those who underwent EUS guided celiac block compared to those who did not

Post procedure complications include infection (defined as fever or increased WBC without an alternative cause), diarrhea (defined as 3 loose stools per day), or pancreatitis (defined as increased pain and lipase >3 X the upper limit of normal). Will be assessed 2 weeks after the procedure and compared between those who EUS with block compared to EUS without block

Long Term Outcomes of Osteochondral Allografts for Osteochondral Defects of the Knee.

Subject outcomes will be assessed through validated outcomes scoring systems, including the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), the SF-36 health survey and the Tegner activity scale. These will be completed by the participants prior to the index procedure and at the 3, 6 and 12 month visits and yearly thereafter.

Surgical reintervention for urethrocutaneous fistula repair

Urethrocutaneous Fistulas.

After sedation with midazolam (0.5 mg/kg orally) a Foley catheterization with a 10 Fr gauge siliconized catheter will be placed, with the balloon inflated with 1.5 ml water to prevent bladder spasm. After this we will apply the adhesive by using dissecting forceps to approximate the edges of the UCF, and then apply it several thin layers of OCA.

2-octylcyanoacrylate

The reoperation will consist on mobilizing dartos flaps and closing the defect in layers with absorbable sutures. Urinary bladder drainage will be provided with a 10 Fr silicone Foley catheter, with the balloon inflated with 1.5 ml water to prevent bladder spasm.
