RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Growing evidence raises doubts about the need for routine hip precautions after primary total hip replacements to reduce the risk of postoperative dislocation. However, hip precautions are still routinely and widely prescribed in postoperative care in Switzerland. We aimed to investigate experts' clinical reasoning for hip precaution recommendations after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: Using a convenience sampling strategy, 14 semi-structured expert interviews were conducted with surgeons, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists in the vicinity of an inpatient rehabilitation clinic in Switzerland. Data analysis followed Mayring's principle of inductive and deductive structuring content analysis. RESULTS: Expert statements from the interviews were summarised into four main categories and 10 subcategories. Categories included statements on the incidences of dislocation and underlying risk factors; current preferences and use of hip precautions; their effect on physical function, anxiety, or costs; and patient's adherence to the movement restrictions. Hip surgeons routinely prescribed hip precautions, although in different variations. Fear of dislocation and caution are barriers to changing current practice. Some surgeons are considering individualised prescribing based on patients' risk of dislocation, which therapists would welcome. CONCLUSION: A lack of clear instructions from the surgeon leads to ambiguity among therapists outside the acute hospital. A shared understanding of the need for and nature of hip precautions, guidelines from societies, or at least specific instructions from surgeons to therapists are warranted.

INTRODUCTION: Postoperative (postop) management of pediatric perforated appendicitis varies significantly, and postop intra-abdominal abscesses (IAA) remain a significant issue. Between 2019 and 2020, our standardized protocol included routine postop labs after an appendectomy for perforated appendicitis. However, given the lack of predictive utility of these routine labs, we discontinued this practice in 2021. We hypothesize that discontinuing routine postop labs will not be associated with an increase in complication rates after an appendectomy for pediatric perforated appendicitis. METHODS: A single-institution, retrospective review of all pediatric appendectomies for perforated appendicitis from January 2019 to December 2021 was conducted at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. Data were collected on rate of complications (IAA development, re-admissions, bowel obstructions, superficial surgical site infections, intensive care unit transfers, Clostridium difficile infections, allergic reactions, and transfusions), postop imaging, postop interventions, and length of stay. Statistical analysis was completed using Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney U-test. RESULTS: A total of 109 patients (2019-2020 n = 61, 2021 n = 48) were included in the study. All 61 patients from 2019 to 2020 had postop labs compared to only eight patients in 2021. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in overall complication rates, but there was a decrease in IAAs reported in 2021 (P = 0.03). There were no statistically significant differences in other complications, postop imaging usage, or postop interventions. The median length of stay was 4.5 d in 2021 compared to 6.0 d in 2019-2020 (P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS: Discontinuing routine postop labs is not associated with an increase in overall complications rates. Further studies are needed to determine whether routine postop labs can be safely removed in pediatric patients with perforated appendicitis, which would reduce patient discomfort and care costs.

BACKGROUND: Although previous studies have noted the potential benefit of early drain removal (EDR) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), there is a paucity of data on the timing of drain removal utilizing a national database that reflect the "real world" setting. Given the ongoing controversy related to PD drain use and management, we sought to define trends in drain use among a large national cohort, as well as identify factors associated with EDR following PD. METHODS: The ACS NSQIP targeted pancreatectomy database was used to identify patients who underwent PD between 2014 and 2020. The trend in proportion of patients with EDR (removal ≤ POD3) as well as predictors of EDR were assessed. Risk-adjusted postoperative outcomes were evaluated by multivariable regression analysis. RESULTS: Among 14,356 patients, 16.2% of patients (N = 2324) experienced EDR, and the proportion of patients with EDR increased by 68% over the study period (2014: 10.9% vs. 2020: 18.3%, p < 0.001). Higher drain fluid amylase on POD1-3 [LogWorth (LW) = 44.3], operative time (LW = 33.2), and use of minimally invasive surgery (LW = 14.0) were associated with EDR. Additionally, EDR was associated with decreased risk of overall and serious morbidity, PD-related morbidity (e.g., pancreatic fistula), reoperation, prolonged length of stay and readmission (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Routine drain placement remains a common practice among most surgeons. EDR following PD increased over time was associated with lower post-operative complications and shorter LOS. Despite evidence that EDR was safe and may even be associated with lower complications, only 1 in 6 patients were managed with EDR.

OBJECTIVE: To synthesize the evidence regarding the effect and safety of drainage after the hip arthroplasty in randomized control trials. BACKGROUND: Although the standard of hip replacement has matured in recent years, the need for postoperative drainage is still controversial which also is a clinical problem that needs to be addressed. DESIGN: A systematic review and meta-analysis based on the Cochrane methods and Prisma guideline. Data Resources. A systematic search of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Ovid, Wan Fang database, CNKI, and CBM database was carried out from January 1, 2000, to December, 2021. Review Methods. The quality of included randomized controlled trials was assessed individually by two reviewers independently using criteria recommended in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions 5.1.0. RESULTS: Nineteen randomized control trials involving 3354 participants were included in this analysis. From the above analysis, we can know that compared with nondrainage, there was a statistically significant difference in VAS score on the postoperative first day (SD = -0.6; 95% CI: -0.79, -0.41) and second day (SD = -0.38, 95% CI: -0.58, -0.18), hematocrit reduction (MD =2.89; 95% CI: 1.3, 4.48), blood transfusion rate (OR =1.47; 95% CI: 1.12, 1.92), change of thigh circumstance (SMD = -0.48; 95% CI: -0.66, -0.31), and hospital stay (MD = 1.06; 95% CI: 0.73, 1.39) in drainage. However, there were no statistically significant differences in hemoglobin and hematocrit level, hip function, total blood loss, transfusion volume, dressing use, and complications between them. CONCLUSION: Drainage after hip arthroplasty can reduce swelling in the thigh and relieve pain while no drainage can bring down hematocrit reduction, decrease dressing uses, and shorten the hospital stay which promotes rapid recovery. This review provides a detailed theoretical reference for the proper clinical application of drains and improves the efficient use of resources.

BACKGROUND: Multimodal analgesia, a key component of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, emphasizes the use of nonopioid analgesics. Preoperative and postoperative gabapentin is often included within multimodal analgesia because it has been shown to reduce postoperative opioid use. However, the role of gabapentin has been questioned because of concerns of adverse effects, particularly in the elderly. In an effort to better understand the specific role of gabapentin within the context of an established enhanced recovery after surgery protocol, the authors studied the prevalence of its adverse effects in patients undergoing abdominal wall reconstruction. METHODS: Following institutional review board approval, a retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of 267 consecutive patients who underwent abdominal wall reconstruction performed by a single surgeon was conducted. Demographic variables; operative details; postoperative analgesic use; the presence of dizziness, lightheadedness, or altered mental status; hypotension; negative Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale scores; and postoperative falls were recorded and analyzed according to postoperative gabapentin administration. RESULTS: Two hundred thirteen patients (80 percent) met inclusion criteria, of which 138 (65 percent) received postoperative gabapentin. Postoperative gabapentin use was not associated with dizziness, lightheadedness, or altered mental status; hypotension; negative Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale scores; or falls. Furthermore, even among those aged 65 years or older, postoperative gabapentin use was not significantly associated with these adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing abdominal wall reconstruction, postoperative gabapentin administration was not associated with an increase in adverse effects. Further prospective analysis may better allow the characterization of the adverse effects of perioperative gabapentin. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, III.

BACKGROUND/AIM: This study compared the perioperative outcomes after the same combination of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) compounds when administered for 90 min vs. 60 min, while all other therapy variables remained constant. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 120 patients were included with peritoneal surface malignancy who underwent cisplatin (75 mg/m2) and doxorubicin (15 mg/m2) closed HIPEC after cytoreductive surgery. RESULTS: Sixty-five patients (54.2%) in the 60 min and 55 patients (45.8%) in the 90 min HIPEC group were compared. Patients, tumor characteristics, and postoperative complications were comparable. The only significant difference was the rate of chest drain/pleural puncture with an incidence of 18.5% and 34.5% in the 60 min and 90 min group, respectively (p=0.045). After adjustment in a multi-variable regression analysis, the odds for patients with HIPEC 90 min of having chest drain or pleural puncture in comparison to patients with HIPEC 60 min was still higher, but not significant with an OR of 2.238 (95%CI=0.932-5.373; p=0.071). CONCLUSION: HIPEC administered for 90 min is safe and does not increase perioperative morbidity and mortality compared to the 60-min administration.

During a kidney transplant, a plastic tube (stent) is placed in the ureter, connecting the new kidney to the bladder, in order to keep the new join open during the initial phase of transplantation. The stent is then removed after a few weeks via a camera procedure (cystoscopy), as it is no longer needed. The present study compared performing this in the operating theatre or in clinic for transplanted patients using a new single-use type of camera with an integrated grasper system. The results have shown that it is safe and cost-effective to do this in clinic, despite patients being susceptible to infection after transplantation.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The strategy of increasing the postoperative enteral nutrition dose to the target goal has not yet been clarified. This study aimed to determine whether an immediate goal-dose enteral nutrition (IGEN) strategy is non-inferior to a gradual goal-dose enteral nutrition (GGEN) strategy in reducing infections in patients undergoing abdominal surgery involving the organs of the digestive system. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial enrolled postoperative patients with nutritional risk screening 2002 scores ≥3 from 11 Chinese hospitals. Energy targets were calculated as 25 kcal/kg and 30 kcal/kg of ideal body weight for women and men, respectively. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to IGEN or GGEN group after enteral tolerance was confirmed (30% of the target on day 2). The IGEN group immediately started receiving 100% of the caloric requirements on day 3, while the GGEN group received 40% progressing to 80% of target on day 7. The primary endpoint was the infection rate until discharge, based on the intention-to-treat population. RESULTS: A total of 411 patients were enrolled and randomized to the IGEN and GGEN groups, and five patients did not receive the allocated intervention. A total of 406 patients were included in the primary analysis, with 199 and 207 in the IGEN and GGEN groups, respectively. Infection was observed in 17/199 (8.5%) in the IGEN group and 19/207 (9.2%) in the GGEN group, respectively (difference, -0.6%; [95% confidence interval (CI), -6.2%-4.9%]; P = 0.009 for non-inferiority test). There were significantly more gastrointestinal intolerance events with IGEN than with GGEN (58/199 [29.1%] vs. 32/207 [15.5%], P < 0.001). All other secondary endpoints were non-significant. CONCLUSIONS: Among postoperative patients at nutritional risk, IGEN was non-inferior to GGEN in regards to infectious complications. IGEN was associated with more gastrointestinal intolerance events. It showed that IGEN cannot be considered to be clinically directive. ClinicalTrials.gov (#NCT03117348).

The association between blood transfusions and thromboembolic events (VTE) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains debatable. Using contemporary institutional data, this study aimed to determine whether blood transfusions increase the risk of VTE following primary and revision TJA. This was a single institution, retrospective cohort study. The clinical records of all patients (n = 34,824) undergoing primary and revision TJA between 2009 and 2020 were reviewed. Demographic variables, co-morbidities, type of chemoprophylaxis and intraoperative factors such as use of tranexamic acid were collected. Clinical notes, hospital orders, and discharge summaries were reviewed to determine if a patient received a blood transfusion. Comprehensive queries utilizing keywords for VTE were conducted in clinical notes, physician dictations, and patient-provider phone-call logs. Propensity score matching as well as adjusted mixed models were performed. After adjusting for various confounders, results from regression analysis showed a significant association between allogenic blood transfusions and risk for developing VTE following primary and revision TJA (OR 4.11, 95% CI 2.53-6.69 and OR 2.15, 95% CI 1.12-4.13, respectively). While this strong association remained significant for PE in both primary (p < 0.001) and revision (p < 0.001) matched cohorts, it was no longer statistically significant for DVT (p = 0.802 and p = 0.65, respectively). These findings suggest that the risk of VTE is increased by approximately three-folds when blood transfusions are prescribed. This association was mainly due to higher symptomatic PE events which makes it even more worrisome. Surgeons should be aware of this association, revisit criteria for blood transfusions and use all means available in the perioperative period to optimize the patients and avoid transfusion.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative nutritional therapy is of paramount importance for patients undergoing esophagectomy. The jejunostomy and nasoenteral tube are the popular routes for nutritional therapy. However, which one is the preferred route is unclear. This study aims to analyze the differences in safety and efficacy of the two routes for nutritional therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE (till September 17, 2020) were searched. The primary outcome was postoperative pneumonia. Secondary outcomes were the length of hospital stays (LOS), bowel obstruction, catheter dislocation, anastomotic leakage, overall postoperative complications, and postoperative albumin. Weighted mean differences (WMD) and odds ratios (OR) were calculated for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Ten studies involving a total of 1,531 patients in the jejunostomy group and 1,375 patients in the nasoenteral tube group were included. Compared with patients in the nasoenteral tube group, those in the jejunostomy group had a lower incidence of postoperative pneumonia (OR = 0.68, P < 0.001), shorter LOS (WMD = -0.85, P < 0.001), and lower risk of catheter dislocation (OR = 0.15, P = 0.001). There were no significant differences in the incidence of anastomotic leakage (OR = 0.84, P = 0.43), overall postoperative complications (OR = 0.87, P = 0.59), and postoperative albumin (WMD = -0.40, P = 0.24). However, patients in the jejunostomy group had a higher risk of bowel obstruction (OR = 8.42, P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Jejunostomy for enteral nutrition showed superior outcomes in terms of postoperative pneumonia, LOS, and catheter dislocation. Jejunostomy may be the preferred enteral nutritional route following esophagectomy.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the efficiency regarding postoperative pain control, consumption of rescue drug, patients' satisfaction and the safety of preoperative analgesia versus postoperative analgesia using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients who received arthroscopic knee surgery (AKS). METHODS: Four hundred and sixty-four patients who received AKS were recruited in this multicenter, randomized, controlled study. Subsequently, they were randomized into PRE group (N = 232) and POST group (N = 232). In PRE group, patients received celecoxib, meloxicam or rofecoxib from 2 h pre-operation (Pre (- 2 h)) to 48 h post-operation for analgesia. In POST group, patients received celecoxib, meloxicam or rofecoxib from 4 to 48 h post-operation for analgesia. RESULTS: h and 12 h; pain VAS at passive movement was reduced in PRE group than POST group at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h. Additionally, consumption of rescue drug (pethidine) was decreased, while overall satisfaction was increased in PRE group compared to POST group. As for adverse events, the incidences of nausea, vomiting, constipation, drowsiness and dizziness were similar between PRE group and POST group. In subgroup analysis, the pain VAS score at passive movement at 6 h and nausea and constipation incidences were distinctive among subgroups categorized by meloxicam, celecoxib and rofecoxib administration. However, no difference of other assessments was found among subgroups categorized by meloxicam, celecoxib and rofecoxib administration. CONCLUSION: Preoperative analgesia using NSAIDs is more efficient and equivalently tolerable compared to postoperative analgesia using NSAIDs in patients who receive AKS.

OBJECTIVE: Absent pulmonary valve syndrome (APV) is a rare condition usually associated with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Some infants develop respiratory failure from bronchial compression and the long-term neurodevelopmental outcome is unknown. We aimed to investigate the outcomes of APV and the need for long-term ventilation (LTV). DESIGN, PATIENTS AND SETTING: Retrospective single-centre review of patients diagnosed with APV between 2007 and 2017. OUTCOME MEASURES: Survival, neurological disability and postoperative LTV (≥3 months of non-invasive or invasive respiratory support). RESULTS: Thirty patients were identified, 22 (73%) of whom were prenatally diagnosed. Pregnancy was discontinued in one patient, while in utero death occurred in three. One was lost to follow-up. Of the remaining 25 liveborn, 21 had the classic TOF/APV. One baby died immediately after birth, while two patients had palliative care due to severe airway compression and inability to wean ventilation support. Surgical repair was performed in 21 of the 25 (84%) liveborn, with one awaiting surgery. Of those undergoing surgery, two patients died: one during surgery and the other due to severe airway malacia 5 months postsurgery. In the surgical group survival from birth at 1 and 5 years was 89% (95% CI 75% to 100%). Six (30%) patients required LTV postoperatively; all had surgery within the first 6 months of life. Learning and/or other physical difficulties were evident in 63%. CONCLUSIONS: Majority of patients with APV are diagnosed antenatally. A third of those operated required LTV and over half had learning and/or other physical difficulties. Prospective studies are needed to identify prenatal factors that predict postnatal outcomes so parents can be counselled appropriately.

BACKGROUND: The volume of residual alveolar bone is critical to the survival of dental implants. When the volume of alveolar bone in the posterior maxillary region is less than 4 mm, maxillary sinus floor elevation (MSFE) with the lateral approach is an effective option. Traditionally, this standard approach is usually conducted at 4-6 months after tooth extraction (standard MSFE). However, defective dentition due to extraction can impair mastication during the period of bone remodeling, especially if the molars on both sides are severely compromised and must be extracted. MSFE before extraction (modified MSFE) can take full advantage of residual tooth strength. However, the effectiveness and practicability of the modified MSFE procedure remain unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of modified vs. standard MSFE, in order to provide references to periodontists. METHODS/DESIGN: The study cohort included 25 adult patients (50 surgery sites) recruited from Peking University Hospital and School of Stomatology who met the inclusion criteria. The two sides of each patient will be randomly divided into two groups: a test group-modified MSFE or a control group-standard MSFE. The surgical duration and patient-reported outcomes (visual analog scale for discomfort) will be documented. Clinical indicators, including implant survival rates, mucosal conditions, and complications, will be recorded every 6 months during the 5-year follow-up period. The volume of the alveolar bone and marginal bone level will be assessed radiographically (cone-beam CT and periapical films) every 6 months. Histological analysis of biopsy samples retrieved from both sides will be performed to evaluate the biological features of the bone. DISCUSSION: The current study will explore the implant survival rates, safety, reliability, effectiveness, and practicability of the modified MSFE procedure. Moreover, the extent of osteogenesis on the sinus floor will also be assessed. The results of this trial will provide strategies for the modified MSFE procedure to achieve ideal clinical outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical impact of a no-drain policy after hepatic resection. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Previous randomized controlled trials addressing no-drain policy after hepatic resection seem inconclusive because they did not adopt appropriate study design to validate its true clinical impact. METHODS: This unblinded, randomized controlled trial was done at 7 Japanese institutions. Patients undergoing hepatic resection without biliary reconstruction were randomized to either D group or ND group. When the risk of postoperative bile leakage or hemorrhage were considered high, the patients were excluded during the operation. Primary endpoint was the postoperative complication of C-D grade 3 or higher within 90 postoperative days. A noninferiority of ND group to D group was assessed, and if it was confirmed, a superiority was assessed. RESULTS: Between May 2015 and July 2017, a total of 400 patients were finally included in the per-protocol set analysis: 199 patients in D group and 201 patients in ND group. Intraoperatively, 37 patients were excluded from the final enrollment because of high risk of bile leakage or hemorrhage. Postoperative complication rate of C-D grade 3 or higher was 8.0% (16/199) in the D group and 2.5% (5/201) in the ND group. The risk difference was -5.5% (95% confidence interval: -9.9% to -1.2%) and fulfilled the prescribed noninferiority margin of 4%. No postoperative mortality was experienced in both groups. Bile leakage was diagnosed in 8.0% (16/199) of the D group and none in the ND group (P < 0.001). In none of the subgroups classified based on 8 potentially relevant factors, drain placement was favored in terms of C-D grade 3 or higher complication.

BACKGROUND: In this study, we developed online interactive clinician education modules highlighting best practices to minimize opioid prescribing at discharge after surgery. The modules were implemented as part of a multicomponent quality improvement initiative across a six-hospital health system. This article describes the development and evaluation of this educational intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinician education modules targeting surgical prescribers, nurses, and pharmacists were developed and implemented by an interdisciplinary team. Clinicians were invited to participate in an evaluation survey after completing the modules. Survey items assessed clinicians' rating of the module and intention to change clinical practice because of the module. Quantitative and qualitative survey responses were analyzed by the study team. RESULTS: A total of 2119 clinicians completed the module and 1831 of these clinicians (86.4%) completed the survey. Of clinicians completing the survey, 65.6% reported that they intend to change clinical practice after completing the module. Intended changes were related to increased knowledge and awareness, provider empowerment, opioid prescribing practices, nonopioid prescribing practices, and patient education. Many clinicians who indicated they do not intend to change practice reported that their clinical practices were already in line with module recommendations. Some clinicians did not perceive the module to be relevant to their role. CONCLUSIONS: Module completion was associated with the intention to improve clinical practice in areas related to provider empowerment, opioid prescribing, nonopioid prescribing, and patient education. Evaluation data will inform future module improvements. There is an opportunity to ensure that all clinicians, including those who are not prescribers, recognize their role in opioid stewardship.

OBJECTIVES: Recent evidence has shown an association between postoperative ketorolac use and anastomotic leak in patients undergoing intestinal and colorectal operations, but this relationship has been minimally explored after esophagectomy. As the use of nonopioid pain control and enhanced recovery protocols is increasingly prioritized, determination of a possible correlation between perioperative ketorolac use and leak is essential. METHODS: Records of patients undergoing esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma at a single institution from 2006 to 2018 reviewed for occurrence of anastomotic leak. Institutional pharmacy records were queried for ketorolac administration during the surgical case through the time of discharge. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between ketorolac administration and anastomotic leak. RESULTS: A total of 1019 patients met inclusion criteria, the majority of whom were male (907, 89%) with a median age of 62 years. Patients predominantly presented with locoregionally advanced disease and were treated with initial chemoradiation. Ketorolac was administered to 686 patients (67%); use was observed to increase over the study period from 49% in 2006 to 92% in 2016. Conversely, anastomotic leak occurred in 87 patients (9%) overall and decreased over time from 15% (11/72) in 2006 to 2% (2/83) in 2018. Upon multivariable analysis, neither ketorolac administration evaluated as a categoric variable (odds ratio, 0.99; P = .958) or as a continuous variable using dose (odds ratio, 1.00; P = .843) demonstrated an association with anastomotic leak. CONCLUSIONS: Ketorolac in the postoperative period after esophagectomy has become an integral component of enhanced recovery pathways and does not appear to be associated with anastomotic leak.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of postoperative eye patching after routine cataract surgery on corneal oedema and visual acuity on the first postoperative day. SETTING: One public healthcare centre. DESIGN AND METHODS: This randomized controlled trial included patients undergoing uneventful cataract surgery in one medical centre. Patients were randomized into two groups: the surgical eye was patched with a single dose of a local steroid and antibiotic for 24 hr in the first group, and a plastic shield was used in the second with local steroid and antibiotic drops. The eyes were examined preoperatively and on the first postoperative day. Examination included the following: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), full slit lamp examination, intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and central corneal thickness (CCT) using the IOL Master 700 (Zeiss, Germany). Cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) and operation time were recorded for all cases. RESULTS: One hundred eyes of 100 patients were included in the study. The postoperative increase in CCT 24 hr after surgery was 138 and 70 µm in the patched group as compared to the non-patched group, respectively (p = 0.001). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) on the first postoperative day was 0.5 ± 0.45 LogMAR and 0.3 ± 0.3 LogMAR in the patched and non-patched group, respectively (p = 0.01). There was no difference in CDE (11.33 ± 9.2 and 10.22 ± 7.3; p = 0.94) between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Eye patching after routine cataract surgery is associated with an increase in corneal oedema and slower visual recovery on the first postoperative day.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of a multi-centre randomised controlled trial to compare the clinical and cost-effectiveness of early patient-directed rehabilitation versus standard rehabilitation following surgical repair of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. DESIGN: Two-arm, multi-centre pilot and feasibility randomised controlled trial. SETTING: Five National Health Service hospitals in England. PARTICIPANTS: Adults (n = 73) with non-traumatic rotator cuff tears scheduled for repair were recruited and randomly allocated remotely prior to surgery. INTERVENTIONS: Early patient-directed rehabilitation (n = 37); advised to remove their sling as soon as able and move as symptoms allow. Standard rehabilitation (n = 36); sling immobilisation for four weeks. MEASURES: (1) Randomisation of 20% or more eligible patients. (2) Difference in time out of sling of 40% or more between groups. (3) Follow-up greater than 70%. RESULTS: 73/185 (39%) potentially eligible patients were randomised. Twenty participants were withdrawn, 11 due to not receiving rotator cuff repair. The between-group difference in proportions of participants who exceeded the cut-off of 222.6 hours out of the sling was 50% (80% CI = 29%, 72%), with the early patient-directed rehabilitation group reporting greater time out of sling. 52/73 (71%) and 52/53 (98%) participants were followed-up at 12 weeks when withdrawals were included and excluded respectively. Eighteen full-thickness re-tears were reported (early patient-directed rehabilitation = 7, standard rehabilitation = 11). Five serious adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION: A main randomised controlled trial is feasible but would require allocation of participants following surgery to counter the issue of withdrawal due to not receiving surgery.
