Incidental presentation of appendix neuroendocrine tumor: Long-term results from a single institution.

Background: Appendix neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are the most common tumors of the appendix and are most often diagnosed incidentally. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate appendix NETs diagnosed incidentally in our clinic.

Methods: Of 8304 patients who underwent appendectomy with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in Ankara Training and Re-search Hospital, General Surgery Clinic between January 2009 and January 2022, 33 had histopathology results evaluated as appendix NET, and a retrospective analysis was made of these cases.

An effective and reliable marker in gradıng the severity of acute cholecystitis: Increased immature granulocyte percentage.

Background: Acute cholecystitis (AC) is an acute inflammatory disease of gallbladder and it is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain. Determining the severity of AC at hospital admission is extremely important to choose the most effective treatment method and predict vital prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of immature granulocyte percentage (IG%) in grading AC severity.

Role of immature granulocytes and total bilirubin values in the diagnosis of perforated appendicitis in patients over 65 years.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of immature granulocyte count, immature granulocyte percentage, and total bilirubin value in predicting complicated and perforated appendicitis in patients aged 65 years and older with a diagnosis of appendicitis.

Methods: In this study, 84 patients, aged 65 years and older, who had appendectomy demographic information, preoperative white blood cell count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, immature granulocyte count and immature granulocyte percentage, operation findings, and pathology results were collected retrospectively. They were grouped into 4 categories: complicated, non-complicated, perforated, and non-perforated, according to the data and surgical findings.

Primary anorectal malignant melanomas: retrospective analysis of 11 cases in a single center.
