Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty Versus Ligasure Hemorrhoidectomy: A Comparative Analysis.

Background and objective Minimally invasive techniques in the surgical treatment of hemorrhoids have been gaining in popularity. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) and LigaSure™ (LigH; Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) hemorrhoidectomy methods are the most recent innovative methods that are increasingly used. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of these two innovative techniques.

Evaluation of Thyroid Function Tests in Patients With COVID-19.

Background SARS-CoV-2 infects cells via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). ACE2 levels are high in the thyroid gland. Although the thyroid gland can be directly infected in COVID-19 patients, the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis is also affected.

Correlation of Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy With Histopathological Results.

Introduction Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is an effective method used in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. The Bethesda system has contributed to the determination of clinical approaches by bringing standardization to cytopathology reporting. However, the rate of cytological-histological incompatibility varies between 10% and 30%.

Investigation of the histopathological level of Ki-67, caspase-3 expressions of the effects of hesperidin on wound healing in the rat esophagus.

Purpose: The effects of hesperidin application on the wound caused by esophageal burns were investigated in this study.

Methods: Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups: Control group: only 1 mL of 0.09% NaCl was administered i.

The use of a loose seton as a definitive surgical treatment for anorectal abscesses and complex anal fistulas.

Background: There is no consensus regarding the standard treatment method for anorectal abscesses accompanied by anal fistulas and complex anal fistulas. Simultaneous surgical treatment of the underlying anal fistula with anorectal abscess drainage is controversial due to incontinence problems.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the loose seton method for the treatment of chronic anal fistulas and acute anorectal abscesses accompanied by anal fistula.
