Multicenter Study Observational Study
Impact of postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on adverse events after gastrointestinal surgery.
Recent evidence has suggested an association between postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and increased operation-specific complications. This study aimed to determine the safety profile following gastrointestinal surgery across a multicentre setting in the UK. ⋯ Early use of NSAIDs is associated with a reduction in postoperative adverse events following major gastrointestinal surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Randomized clinical trial comparing self-gripping mesh with suture fixation of lightweight polypropylene mesh in open inguinal hernia repair.
Postoperative pain is an important adverse event following inguinal hernia repair. The aim of this trial was to compare postoperative pain within the first 3 months and 1 year after surgery in patients undergoing open mesh inguinal hernia repair using either a self-gripping lightweight polyester mesh or a polypropylene lightweight mesh fixed with sutures. ⋯ NCT00827944 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).
