Materials And Methods: Among 252 patients with EA who were either diagnosed, treated, and subsequently followed at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Dicle University Medical Faculty Hospital, or were treated surgically elsewhere but followed at our center, between January 2010 and January 2020,214 patients were included in the study.
Results: Early complications:One or more early complications were observed in 132(62.
Background: Acute appendicitis diagnosis can sometimes be a real challenge in pediatric patients.
Objective: To establish the importance of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and other hematological parameters adjusted for age and sex in the prediction of acute appendicitis, as well as to describe a new scoring system.
Material And Methods: Medical records of 946 children hospitalized for acute appendicitis were retrospectively analyzed.
Objective: None of studies have been conducted in terms of demonstrating the same effect with the low dose in cordycepin. In our study, we analyzed the histopathological and biochemical changes of low-dose Cordycepin(c) on a rat model in the kidney.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar Albino rats were randomly allocated to three groups (n = 8): the sham-control group (Group 1), the renal I/R-untreated (Group 2) group, and the I/R-C-treated (Group 3) group.
Background: Morgagni hernia (MH) is a rare congenital defect of the diaphragm. Although the various surgical method has been proposed, there is no surgical consensus.
Aim: In this study, we aimed to report the outcome of the patients that underwent surgery which is completed using a single port laparoscopic-assisted transabdominal closure of MH.
Background: The aim of this study was to present our experience in the use of crystallized phenol (CP) to treat pediatric patients with 'simple' and complex' Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD).
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent CP treatment in between January 2015 and January 2020 were evaluated retrospectively, using prospectively collected data. The patients were divided into simple and complicated groups.

Background: In this study, we aimed to present the results of patients treated for esophageal leakage with a different conservative approach.
Methods: Ninety-eight patients with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EA) who underwent surgery in our clinic between February 2013 and January 2018 were retrospectively reviewed in this study. Patients' anastomosis leakage, gestational week, gender, body weight, referral date, recovery time and stenosis were recorded.
Aim: We report the results of the surgical treatment of symptomatic urachal cysts.
Materials And Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent urachal cyst excision between 2012 and 2017 were reviewed retrospectively at our hospital. The age, sex, presenting complaint, method of diagnosis, average cyst diameter, surgical procedure, and postoperative complications of each patient were recorded.

Background: Non-operative management (NOM) is a standard treatment method for solid organ injuries worldwide. There is no consensus on the management of gunshot wounds (GSW) because of the higher frequency of hollow viscus injuries (HVI) and the unpredictable depth of tissue damage produced by kinetic energy transfer during retardation of the bullet. Here we aimed to reevaluate indications for surgery and NOM based on our pediatric patients with abdominal GSW.
