  2. 1. Chronic Achilles tendon rupture - surgical reconstruction and post-operative outcomes

    Author : Niklas Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic Achilles tendon rupture; Semitendinosus graft; Tissue sample; Achilles tendon re-rupture; Surgical repair; Gastrocnemius aponeurosis free flap; Health economics; Patient-reported outcome measurements;

    Abstract : When the treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures is delayed by more than 4 weeks, the rupture is classified as chronic. This thesis aims to examine the postoperative outcome of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures treated surgically in terms of long-term functional outcomes, patient-reported outcome measurements, biomolecular changes, and economic cost.

    Abstract : Patients with idiopathic anal fistula (n=85) were compared with 215 control subjects, matched for age and sex, through a 180-item questionnaire. Obesity, smoking, constipation and bowel symptoms associated with IBS were more common in the patients. READ MORE

  7. 5. Inflammatory responses in minor and major surgical procedures

    Author : Annette Schmidt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; inflammatory response; surgery; cytokines; complement split products;

    Abstract : Surgical procedures promote an inflammatory response, correlating to the extent of the procedure performed and influencing outcome after surgery. The aims of the thesis were to investigate factors modulating the inflammatory response perioperatively and to evaluate cell salvage for indications so far not accepted in clinical practice. READ MORE
