Complications of Laparoscopic and Open Donor Hepatectomy for Living Donor Liver Transplantation: Single Center Experience.

Objectives: Donor hepatectomy is a major surgery with a relatively safeprofile anda reportedcomplication rate of ~20%. Most complications are non-life threatening and are resolved with conservative measures. However, rare complications may need invasive precautions, ranging from percutaneous interventions to surgeries.

A scientometric analysis of fairness in health AI literature.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are central components of today's medical environment. The fairness of AI, i.e.

Risk factors affecting oncological outcomes of surgical resections for middle and lower rectal cancer.

Objectives: In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the factors affecting oncological outcomes in resections for rectal cancer.

Material And Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2014, patients with rectal tumors were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic and pathological data and oncological outcomes were analyzed as disease-free survival, overall survival, and local recurrence.

Literature Review and 2 Cases of Isolated Chylothorax After Pediatric Living-Donor Liver Transplant.

Objectives: Chylothorax without chylous ascites after liver transplant is rare. We present 2 cases of isolated chylothorax after liver transplant and a literature review.

Materials And Methods: We compiled a literature review of chylothorax cases after abdominal surgery and analyzed the cases related to liver transplant.

Report of a case mimicking the acute appendicitis; Small bowel perforation due to olive leaf.

Abdominal pain is one of the most frequent causes of emergency room admissions. Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical pathology in these patients. Foreign body ingestion is a quite rare pathology that takes place in list of differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Hepatic Artery Intimal Dissection During Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A New Modified Approach.

Ensuring optimal arterial flow in solid organ transplantation is very important. Insufficient flow causes important problems such as bile duct problems, intrahepatic abscess formation, and organ loss. Arterial intimal dissection is an important factor that negatively affects organ blood flow.

Using Pericholedochal Varix Inflow for Complete Portal Vein Thrombosis in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Case Report.

One of the crucial steps of liver transplantation is to provide the portal inflow. Portal vein thrombosis is the most challenging factor to achieve. Using a pericholedochal varix for portal inflow in a patient with complete portal vein thrombosis in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a rare technique.

Patient With Hemophilia A Undergoing Consecutive Coronary Bypass and Live Donor Liver Transplantation: A Case Report.

Liver transplantation surgery due to cirrhosis in patients with hemophilia is rare and there are limited cases in the literature. We present a case of a patient with hemophilia A who underwent 2 consecutive surgeries owing to coronary artery disease and cryptogenic cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma. After these surgeries, no bleeding or other complications were seen, and the factor VIII levels have not changed since liver transplantation in the follow-up.

Two Cases With Developing Neurologic Complications After Liver Transplant.

The widespread use of immunosuppressive agents has significantly increased the rates of successful solid-organ and stem cell transplants, especially with liver and kidney. Cyclosporine and tacrolimus are most commonly used for this purpose. Although these agents have different mechanisms of action, both have various adverse effects, including nausea, vomiting, headache, hypertension, nephrotoxicity, and rarely epileptic seizures.

Is stoma care effective in terms of morbidity in complicated ileostomies?

Background: Performing transient or permanent ileostomy is one of the common procedures involved in colorectal surgery. Complication rates up to 40% have been reported in ileostomies. In this report, the effect of specific stoma care unit on ileostomy and its complications were investigated.
