Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.119 studies in Surgery (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Compare Somatostatin Analogues with Perioperative Antibiotics versus Prolonged Antibiotics Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to to determine the individual treatment effect of somatostatin and whether duration of antibiotic therapy coupled with octreotide provides improved outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy. A Study to Assess Long-term Symptom Improvement and Recurrence after Operative Management of Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome (PAES) Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term symptom resolution and quality of life improvements after operative management of popliyteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES). Mayo Clinic Upper Digestive Disease Survey Rochester, Minn. The Mayo Clinic Upper Digestive Disease Survey has been created in order to have a consistent evaluation tools for patients undergoing esophageal reconstruction or treatment or patients that are experiencing an upper digestive disease in order to standardize and validate outcome measures. Data will be used to establish the validation of the questionnaires/survey. Data will also lead to the establishment of “normal” or expected scores for patients undergoing each type of esophagectomy procedure and for upper digestive diseases. Data will contribute to creating treatment algorithms for symptom management for upper digestive diseases and for post-operative complications and symptoms as well as contribute to pre-operative education. A Study to Assess Outcomes Based on Different Surgical Approaches to Minimally-invasive Gallbladder Surgery Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of patients who had standard laparoscopic port placement compared to non-standard port placement to determine any difference in occurrence of post-operative hernia and operative complications. A Registry for the Collection and Maintenance of Biological Specimens for Breast Cancer Research Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this registry is to collect and maintain samples of breast tissue from women and men undergoing surgery for a breast related concern at Mayo Clinic Rochester, to create a biospecimen resource for the study of benign and cancerous breast conditions. Aggressive Malignancy PDX (Avatar) and Cryopreservation Program Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the ability to successfully create numerous validated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from patient tumor specimens obtained at surgery/biopsy via the new Pathology/TRAG cryopreservation protocol, and to generate a large catalog and repertoire of previously unavailable histologically validated PDX. Stem Cell Coated Fistula Plug in Patients With Crohn's RVF Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of using an autologous mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) coated fistula plug in people with rectovaginal fistulizing Crohn's disease. Autologous means that these cells that coat the plug come from you. You will be in this study for two years. There is potential to continue to monitor your progress with lifelong regular visits as part of your standard of care. All study visits take place at Mayo Clinic and Rochester, MN. The study visit schedule is as follows: Visit 1 (Week -6) - Screening visit: exam under anesthesia and surgery to assess eligibility of fistula tract, take fat biopsy, if eligible, and fecal diversion. Visit 2 (Week 0; Day 0), exam under anesthesia for stem cell coated fistula plug placement Visit 3 (Week 0; Day 1) Visit 4 (Week 2; Month 1) Visit 5 (Week 4; Month 1) Visit 6 (Week 8; Month 2) Visit 7 (Week 12; Month 3) Visit 8 (Week 24; Month 6) Visit 9 (Week 52; Month 12). Visit 10 (Week 104, Month 24) A Study to Compare 3- and 4-Part Proximal Humerus Fractures Undergoing Elected Nonoperative vs. Operative Management Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare validated clinical and functional outcomes between patients who acutely present with 3- and 4-part Proximal Humerus Fractures (PHFs) treated nonoperatively or with rTSA. We hypothesize that in displaced 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures, rTSA will have better pain relief and functional outcomes than nonoperative treatment. A Study of the Effect of Treatment on Activity and Muscle Function in Pediatric Patients with Scoliosis Rochester, Minn. This study will explore the relationship between skeletal muscle and physical activity in scoliosis patients to provide insight into both the etiology of scoliosis and possible ways to mitigate the potential harm of treatment. Study of Gastric Cancer and Limited Peritoneal Metastasis Using Robotic Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess short-term morbidity and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis and/or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing robotic cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
