Assessing the predictive value of the suppressed 1 mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test in success of bariatric surgery.

Bariatric surgery has been proven to be a successful intervention for managing obesity. There are numerous studies in the literature aiming to predict the factors influencing the success of bariatric surgery. Our study aims to determine whether preoperative 1 mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test (1 mg-DST) serum cortisol levels can serve as predictors of the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in severe obese patients without Cushing syndrome.

Safety and efficacy of laparoscopic colectomy in low volume centre following effective laparoscopic training. Retrospective cohort study.

Unlabelled: The use of minimally invasive surgery in colon cancers is becoming widespread and developing day by day Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRHC) with complete mesocolic excision is gradually becoming the standard oncological surgical principle for right hemicolectomy. The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in a small-volume center.

Methods: Clinical outcomes were analyzed in a study comparing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with conventional right hemicolectomy.

Treatment of Hepatic Hydatid Disease: Role of Surgery, ERCP, and Percutaneous Drainage: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction: Failure to follow the World Health Organization's Informal Working Group on Echinococcosis guidance or having limited experience in the management of cystic echinococcosis (CE) in endemic or nonendemic areas of the world may lead to risky unnecessary procedures.

Materials And Methods: Medical records of all patients undergoing surgery for hepatic hydatid disease at the gastroenterologic surgery and general surgery departments of our hospital between December 2014 and October 2019 were collected and reviewed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, the size and number of the cysts preoperative liver function tests, surgical treatment, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), percutaneous drainage (PD), morbidity, and treatment outcomes were reviewed.

Single-stage treatment with ERCP and laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus two-stage treatment with ERCP followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy within six to eight weeks: a retrospective study.

Objectives: Obstructive jaundice is one of the earliest symptoms of a hepatobiliary system disorder. The aim of the present study was to compare single stage endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)/laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and two-stage ERCP and LC with respect to the frequency of imaging, duration of anesthesia and the length of stay in our clinic.

Material And Methods: Of the 350 patients undergoing ERCP between 01.

Comparison of the safety and efficacy of single-stage endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus two-stage ERCP followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy six-to-eight weeks later: A randomized controlled trial.

INTRODUCTİON: Currently, the management of cholelithiasis in combination with choledocholithiasis involves endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by cholecystectomy. However, recently, early surgical approaches are becoming more common, even in the treatment of acute cholecystitis. METODS: Patients diagnosed as having cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis between October 2017 and May 2019 were prospectively enrolled in the study in a randomized manner.

Ectopic Opening of the Common Bile Duct into the Duodenal Bulb: Diagnosis and Therapeutic Management and Considerations for Timing of Surgery and Duration of Follow-up After Initial Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography.

Introduction: Ectopic opening of the common bile duct (EO-CBD) is a rare pathology, and its management is important. To date, only a few studies have been conducted for EO-CBD due to its low incidence.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 54 patients with available prospective data.

Comparison of endocrinological and cytokine response to trauma in laparoscopic and conventional appendectomy in patients with acute appendicitis.

Purpose: In this study, we compared the endocrine and cytokine reaction of the patients which laparoscopic and conventional appendectomy was done for acute appendicitis.

Materials And Method: 50 patients who were operated for acute appendicitis in Ankara Atatürk Research and Training Hospital between the dates December 2013 and February 2014 were enrolled and grouped as either laparoscopic or conventional. Serum ACTH, IL-6 and CRP levels were obtained at induction of anesthesia and postoperative 6th hour.
