4. 2. On Quality Improvement in Gynaecological Cancer Surgery

   Author : Evelyn Serreyn Lundin; Preben Kjölhede; Ninnie Borendal Wodlin; Lena Nilsson; Ignace Vergote; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Objectives: The overall purpose of this thesis was to find medical and surgical treatment methods of improving the perioperative care of gynaecological cancer patients. The specific objectives were to determine whether a single dose tranexamic acid given immediately before surgery for presumed advanced ovarian cancer reduces perioperative blood loss and the need for blood transfusions, and to determine whether postoperative recovery, tissue damage, and inflammatory response markers differ between women operated with robotic and abdominal hysterectomy for low-risk endometrial cancer in an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme, and to evaluate costs for hospital stay and postoperative recovery in relation to health impact.

5. 3. Nerve gap repair by the use of artificial conduits and cultured cells

   Author : Daniel Kalbermatten; Mikael Wiberg; Ulrich Mennen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipose stem cells; cell matrix; fibrin; nerve conduit; nerve gap; Surgery; Kirurgi; kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Peripheral nerve injuries are often associated with loss of nerve tissue and require autologous nerve grafts to provide a physical substrate for axonal growth. This thesis investigates the use of fibrin as both a tubular conduit to guide nerve regeneration and also as a matrix material to suspend various regenerative cell types within/on poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) nerve conduits.

6. 4. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) interventions and outcome from colorectal surgery

   Author : Daniel Asklid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Although immense progress has been made in the fields of chemo- and radiotherapy during the last decades, surgery is still the ultimate cure for the majority of patients with colorectal cancer. Since colorectal cancer most often presents at a high age and in patients often suffering from a large burden of comorbidity, it is important to develop strategies to improve postoperative recovery and outcome, not only for the patient, but also from a health economic perspective.

7. 5. Taking physical rehabilitation after abdominal cancer surgery further : by enhanced recovery and physical activity

   Author : Andrea Porserud; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The overall aim with this thesis was to increase knowledge of standardised methods for individualised mobilisation and rehabilitation after abdominal cancer surgery. Concerning mobilisation, both effect, and patients’ experiences of a method for postoperative mobilisation were evaluated, as well as the association between early mobilisation (daily steps) and complications.
