Structured hernia surgery training program for general practitioners in Rwanda - feasibility and evaluation.

Background: Hernias are among the most common surgical conditions worldwide, with significant prevalence in Africa. However, according to recent WHO statistics, Africa faces a critical shortage of trained surgeons. Structured surgical training programs are also scarce.

Effectiveness of Implantable Doppler Probe Versus Standard Clinical Care in Preventing Thrombosis-Related Graft Loss in Kidney Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: The implantable Doppler probe can monitor the patency of vascular anastomosis, thereby facilitating early detection of vascular thrombosis critical to reducing graft loss. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of this technology compared with standard clinical care in reducing thrombosis-related graft loss and the requirement for color duplex ultrasonography in the first 24 hours postoperatively by a medical literature search of the application of this technology in kidney transplantation.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a systematic search (January 15, 2024) of a wide range of experimental and observational studies that comprised kidney transplant recipients monitored with blood flow sensing technology (intervention group) and standard clinical care (control group).

Experiences of Participation in a Study Investigating Feasibility of the Implantable Doppler Probe in Kidney Transplantation: An Embedded Qualitative Study.

Objectives: Kidney transplant survival can be improved with better graft surveillance postoperatively. In the quest to explore new technologies, we explored the feasibility of an implantable Doppler probe as a blood flow monitoring device in kidney transplant patients. This qualitative study was embeddedin a feasibility trial and aimed to test the device's clinical acceptability and obtain suggestions for the development of the intervention.

Exploring the Role of an Implantable Doppler Probe as a Blood Flow-Monitoring Device in Kidney Transplant: A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: Vascular thrombosis is a disastrous postoperative complication resulting in the loss of 3.5% to 5.7% of all kidney transplants.

Exploring the Risk Factors and Preventable Measures for Early Graft Loss in Kidney Transplantation: A Single-Center Analysis in the Southwest of the United Kingdom.

Objectives: Early graft loss due to vascular complications occurs in 3.5% to 5.7% of total kidney transplants.
