Implementation of Music in the Perioperative Standard Care of Colorectal Surgery: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis.

Introduction: Randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have provided evidence of the positive effects of perioperative music interventions on pain, anxiety, and stress. However, the cost-effectiveness is unknown. The objective of this study was to analyze the cost-effectiveness of the implementation of a music intervention in the perioperative care of patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

Quality of reporting of pre-recorded music interventions in surgical patients - A systematic review.

Background: Perioperative music interventions are promising, with substantial beneficial effects on patients. However, adequate reporting is crucial for interpreting the outcomes and implementing the interventions. Our objective is to analyze the reporting quality of perioperative music interventions and to provide recommendations and a research agenda for future trials.

Implementation of music in the perioperative standard care of colorectal surgery (IMPROVE study).

Aim: Patients undergoing surgery experience perioperative anxiety and pain. Music has been shown to reduce perioperative anxiety, pain and medication requirement. This study assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a perioperative music intervention.

The impact of different music genres on pain tolerance: emphasizing the significance of individual music genre preferences.

Music is a promising (adjunctive) treatment for both acute and chronic pain, reducing the need for pharmacological analgesics and their side effects. Yet, little is known about the effect of different types of music. Hence, we investigated the efficacy of five music genres (Urban, Electronic, Classical, Rock and Pop) on pain tolerance.

Prophylactic Mesh-related Reoperations and Mesh-related Problems During Subsequent Relaparotomies: Long-term Results From the PRIMA Trial.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate all mesh-related problems during reoperations after mesh-reinforcement 15 years after the start of the PRIMA trial. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Prophylactic mesh reinforcement during closure of a midline laparotomy has proven to reduce the incidence of incisional hernia, especially in high-risk patients, but long-term mesh-related morbidity is largely unknown.

Methods: Patients receiving a prophylactic onlay or retro-rectus mesh in the PRIMA trial between 2009 and 2012 were included on an as-treated basis from participating centers that made reoperation notes available.
