Acute Appendiceal Surgery
Clinical research at Spaarne Gasthuis Stichting includes surgical care for complicated appendicitis, with attention to postoperative infectious complications and intra-abdominal abscess prevention after appendectomy.
- Complicated appendicitis
- Appendectomy
- Intra-abdominal abscess
The sponsor’s work in this area is centered on reducing abdominal infection-related morbidity in surgical patients.
Bariatric Surgery Complications
Another area of interest is the prevention of gallstones after bariatric surgery, reflecting a focus on metabolic and postoperative biliary complications in patients undergoing weight-loss procedures.
- Gallstone prevention
- Bariatric surgery
- Cholelithiasis
This includes clinical attention to chole(cysto)lithiasis arising in the postoperative period following surgical treatment for obesity.
Perioperative Infection Control
The sponsor’s research also spans perioperative antimicrobial strategies aimed at limiting infectious sequelae in abdominal surgery, with a focus on local treatment approaches during surgical care.
- Antibiotic lavage
- Peritoneal infection prevention
- Surgical site complications
These studies align with hospital-based efforts to manage infection risk in patients undergoing emergency and elective abdominal procedures.
Metabolic and Lipid-Related Prevention
Research activity extends to the use of lipid-lowering therapy in preventing biliary complications, linking cholesterol metabolism with postoperative gallstone formation in a surgical population.
- Atorvastatin
- Cholesterol metabolism
- Biliary stone formation
This reflects interest in the interface between metabolic management and prevention of biliary disease after surgery.
