An Inside Into a Rare Living Liver Donor Hepatectomy Complication: Acute Mechanical Bowel Obstruction Resulting from a Diaphragmatic Hernia.

Introduction: Living donor liver transplantation is encouraged due to the limited availability of cadaveric donors. However, this patient group is at risk for various complications. Diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication but often requires reoperation.

Bilateral Lumbar Hernia: A Case Report.

Lumbar hernias are a relatively uncommon occurrence, with two main categories: congenital and acquired. Some acquired hernias are spontaneous, while others are the result of secondary factors such as trauma and surgery. Bilateral primary lumbar hernia is a much rarer occurrence.

Hepatolithiasis: clinical series, review and current management strategy.

Objectives: Hepatolithiasis (HL) continues to be a problem due to its local and systemic complications, insufficiency in treatment modalities and high risk of recurrence. There are various surgical options available, ranging from endoscopic interventions to a small segment resection and ultimately to transplantation. In this article, patients with the diagnosis of HL and our treatment strategies were evaluated in the light of literature.

The effect of successful parathyroid surgery on left ventricle function in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism evaluated with strain echocardiography.

Background: Hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in outpatients. It is characterized by many cardiac complications including chronic cardiac arrhythmia, hypertrophy, and diastolic insufficiency. However, there are insufficient data about the cardiac systolic function in PHP.
