Endoscopic definitive treatment of liver hydatid cysts ruptured into bile duct.

Background: Intrabiliary rupture (IBR) is one of the most common complications of hepatic hydatid cysts (HHC),and the surgical treatment of major intrabiliary rupture (MIBR) leads to serious morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic definitive treatment of these patients.

Methods: This study included 38 patients who underwent ERCP for MIBR between 2004 and 2022.

The incidence of incidental neoplasia in pathology samples of patient who underwent appendectomy due to acute appendicitis. A single center experience: 6446 cases.

Purpose: Appendectomy is the standard treatment of acute appendicitis. However, recent advancements have introduced medical treatment as a potential alternative. Within this context, it's important to recognize the rare occurrence of appendiceal tumors, often incidentally discovered during histopathological examination following appendectomy.

Post-ERCP Pancreatitis Risk Factors: Is Post-Sphincterotomy Bleeding Another Risk Factor?

Background: Despite advancements in technology and expertise, ERCP carries risks of significant complications, such as pancreatitis, bleeding, and perforation. Post-ERCP pancreatitis is the most common and important complication following ERCP. In our study, we aimed to examine the relationship between patient and procedure-related parameters and the development of pancreatitis.

Percutaneous cholecystostomy in the management of acute cholecystitis-comparative analysis of before and after the COVID 19 pandemic.

Background: Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is a minimally invasive temporary treatment for patients with acute cholecys-titis (AC) who are at high risk for surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of patients with AC treated with PC before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic.

Methods: The data of patients who underwent PC with the diagnosis of AC between 2019 and 2021 were analyzed by scanning the hospital registry system.

Does the subtotal cholecystectomy rate for acute cholecystitis change with previous endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography?

Background: Acute cholecystitis is one of the most common emergent surgeries. As a safe alternative in challenging operations, laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) is widely used. We questioned whether the results in acute cholecystitis cases changed with a history of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

The importance of inflammatory markers in detection of complications in patients with gastric cancer undergoing the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol: a prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Early diagnosis reduces mortality and morbidity rates in gastrointestinal system (GIS) anastomoses.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the importance of some substances that were used to detect major complications early in patients who were treated in line with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for gastric cancer. Factors included in the study were interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) and white blood cell (WBC).

Management of appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors in the light of new guidelines.

Purpose: Appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors (ANETs) are the most common in the appendix, detected in histopathological appendectomy specimens, which are resected for acute appendicitis. If tumor detection does not show signs of metastatic disease or obvious features of carcinoid syndrome, preoperative diagnosis remains a challenge. However, the treatment and follow-up algorithm change over time.

What is the Treatment Role of Transpapillary Cholecystostomy for Delayed Cholecystectomy in the Coexistence of Acute Cholecystitis and Cholangitis.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the role of main bile duct drainage and gallbladder transpapillary drainage in the treatment of patients who diagnosed with acute cholecystitis and acute cholangitis because of choledocholithiasis.

Materials And Methods: Patients who were admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis between January 2018 and December 2019, have hyperbilirubinemia in their laboratory tests, and who were diagnosed with choledochal stone by magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography imaging because of the findings of cholangitis were included in this study. These patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and choledochus stone extraction procedure and gallbladder drainage with the transpapillary pigtail.

Single center experience in laparoscopic treatment of gallbladder perforation.

Introduction: Gallbladder perforation (GBP) is a rare disease with potential mortality. Previous series have reported an incidence of approximately 2-11% and it still continues to be a significant problem for surgeons.

Aim: To present our clinical experience with gallbladder perforation.

FICE in Predicting Colorectal Flat Lesion Histology.

Background And Objectives: Colonoscopy is the gold standard for detection of polyps and is preventive against colorectal cancers. Flat adenomas are small, superficial lesions and have a high rate of going undetected during conventional white-light endoscopy. This article adds to the scant body of literature in English regarding in vivo detection and diagnosis of flat adenomas using Fujinon intelligent color enhancement (FICE) system.

Evaluation of epidermal growth factor receptor serum levels and their association with clinicopathological characteristics in patients with colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major public health concern and one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The aim of the present study was to determine the serum epidermal growth factor receptor (sEGFR) levels in healthy volunteers and patients with CRC, to determine the association between tumor marker levels and clinicopathological findings, and investigate its prognostic value. A total of 140 patients with CRC were enrolled in the present study.

An alternative view on the necessity of EGD before sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is particularly recommended for choosing a surgical method to be used with asymptomatic patients and for the assessment of symptomatic patients prior to sleeve gastrectomy. The presence of hiatal hernia, for instance, is a relative contraindication. EGD is used for malignancy scanning as well as surgical planning, but seems inefficient in determining postoperative complications.

Prevention of Postoperative Bile Leak in Partial Cystectomy for Hydatid Liver Disease: Tricks of the Trade.

Background: The presence of postoperative bile leak is the major outcome measure for the assessment of operative success in partial cystectomy for hydatid liver disease. However, the optimal operative strategy to reduce the postoperative bile leak rate is yet to be defined.

Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent partial cystectomy for hydatid liver disease between January 2013 and January 2015 were reviewed in this retrospective analysis.
