Immature Granulocyte Percentage as an Early Predictor of Necrosis in Volvulus.

Aim: Volvulus is a disease characterized by the abnormal twisting of a gaseous distension of the loop of the intestine around itself. Colonic volvulus is the third common cause of colonic obstruction. The study aimed to determine whether the percentage of immature granulocytes is a marker of early necrosis in the volvulus.

Prognostic Effect of Preoperative Inflammatory Markers on Morbidity and Overall Survival in Pancreatic Adenocarsinoma.

Background/aim: His study aimed to evaluate the availability of common diagnostic tests and biochemical markers in predicting poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC). The primary outcome measure was to identify predictive prognostic factors. The secondary outcome measure was to compare predictive measures in patients who survived or did not survive in the follow-up period.

The effect of biliary stents implanted before pancreaticoduodenectomy in periampullary tumors on postoperative results: a retrospective analysis of 106 consecutive cases at a single medical center.

Purpose: The present study evaluated the potential effects of biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy on postoperative outcomes and presented the details of a surgeon's 6 years of experience.

Methods: All consecutive pancreatoduodenectomies performed from 2015 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The study population was divided into two groups: the stented group (Group I) and the nonstented group (Group II).

Results of positive proximal margin after resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma: An analysis of 42 cases.

Background/aims: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) is a tumor that invades the confluence of the left and right hepatic bile ducts. Surgery is the definitive treatment but is also technically demanding. Here, we report our experience on 42 patients who underwent surgical resection for HC.

Surgical Outcomes of Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas: A Single Institution's Experience of 16 Cases.

Introduction: Solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare tumor, generally characterized by a well-encapsulated mass. The aim of the current study was to analyse the clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with SPT. In this study, we report our clinical experience with 16 cases of SPTs.
