Objective: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common cause of acute abdomen and appendectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures. In this study, we aimed to compare open appendectomy (OA) and laparoscopic (LA) surgical techniques in the treatment of AA.
Methods: The data of 236 patients treated with the diagnosis of AA in 2019-2020 were analyzed.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the contribution of mVEMP to the conclusive diagnosis of recurrent vestibulopathy patients that were diagnosed with Possible Meniere's disease.
Methods: The study includes 20 healthy individuals aged 18 to 40 years and 20 patients that were diagnosed with Possible Meniere's disease according to the American Academy of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS, 1995) Guidelines for the Definition of Meniere's Disease.
