Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.115 studies in Surgery (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Examine Financial Distress in Patients Undergoing Treatment of Locally-advanced Rectal Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to examine the needs and gap in our understanding of financial burden experienced by rectal cancer patients from a patient perspective to help provide patient centered care and improve psychosocial outcomes of this group. A Quality of Life Assessment of Patients with Biliary Obstruction Undergoing Endoscopic or Percutaneous Drainage Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. The aim of this study is to compare the quality of life of patients with biliary obstruction who have undergone an endoscopic or percutaneous drainage. The quality of life of patients witll be assessed using the validated "European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions Questionnaire" and the "Intervention-Dependent Questionnaire" which was developed according to current literature as well as the expert opinion of gastroeneterologists. Benevolent Tumor Tissue Repository Fighting for the Legacy of our Young Rochester, Minn. The aim of this study is to create a patient and patient-advocate catalyzed tumor bank for the retrieval, processing, analysis, and maintenance of pre-treatment, post-treatment and (when available) post-mortem soft tissue sarcoma (STS) tissue and tissue data with an emphasis on STSs occurring in younger patients (YP-STS). This resource-platform will be named Project BTTRFLY (Benevolent Tumor Tissue Repository Fighting for the Legacy of our Young). A Study to Determine A Patient's Preference for Direct Anterior Approach Versus Posterior Approach in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to collect the patient’s perspective on total hip arthroplasty (THA) approach in a single-surgeon, crossover cohort of patients who first underwent total hip arthroplasty using a posterior approach followed by a direct anterior (DA) THA. Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Donor Bank Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to collect adipose tissue from patients undergoing elective surgery, or from healthy volunteers, test the donors to assure that they comply with all regulatory aspects required of healthy donors, expand and test mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), and bank them for future use. A Study of the Ability to Predict Lymphedema Development Following Axillary Surgery for Breast Cancer and Its Effects on Patient Survivorship Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to better understand the anatomy of the lymphatic structure and the molecular process that leads to the over production of lymph fluid. This proposal will begin intense lymphedema screening and identify baseline characteristics potentially predisposing someone to lymphedema, and identify molecular markers that might be altered to prevent lymphedema. A Study to Evaluate Preiser's Disease and Its Complications Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to describe the outcome and complications in surgical management of Preiser',s disease in the past 30 years in the Mayo Clinic. Analysis of Outcomes in Sarcoma Reconstruction Using Intraoperative Fluorescence Angiography Jacksonville, Fla. The primary objective of the study is to compare outcomes of patients undergoing sarcoma reconstructive surgery using fluorescence angiography with patients undergoing sarcoma reconstructive surgery without fluorescence angiograph. A Study to Develop Processes for Tissue Growth for Use in Reconstruction Surgeries Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to develop the procedures for the growth of specific cells and tissues needed for reconstruction surgeries of the head and neck using the waste tissues of other surgeries. Clinical Outcomes of Patients Treated With Open Surgical Repair for Complex Aortic Aneurysms Rochester, Minn. This is a prospective, non-randomized, single center, data collection study of patients treated with open surgical repair (OR) for complex aortic aneurysms (CAAs).

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.
