Comparison of Knotless Versus Knot-Tying Suture Anchors for Arthroscopic Repair of Hip Labral Tears.

Background: Both knotless and knot-tying anchors are commonly employed in the arthroscopic repair of hip labral tears.

Purpose: To compare the midterm clinical results of arthroscopic hip labral repair using knot-tying versus knotless suture anchors.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Glenoid bone loss and Hill-Sachs width percentage score are useful to select optimal operation for the treatment of glenohumeral instability in overhead athletes: Arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage versus open Latarjet.

Purpose: Glenohumeral instability with combined bone lesion in contact and overhead athletes with subcritical bone loss is challenging to treat with high recurrent instability. Treatment options are arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage and Latarjet operations. However, there is no consensus on their effectiveness.

Contrast Enhanced [99mTc] MIBI SPECT/CT in Primary Hyperparathyroidism.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the surgical results with contrast-enhanced [99mTc]methoxyisobutylisonitrile ([99mTc]MIBI) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) results by adding the simultaneous single phase contrast to the [99mTc]MIBI SPECT/CT examination.

Method: Between November 2016 and January 2018, 24 (21 female, 3 male) patients who underwent an operation after preoperative contrast-enhanced [99mTc]MIBI SPECT/CT, and 49 asymptomatic patients (42 female, 7 male), who did not undergo surgery, were included in the study.

Results: Sensitivity and specificity rates of contrast enhanced [99mTc]MIBI SPECT/CT were 100% and 100% when evaluated together with surgical results.

Factors affecting mortality in patients with splenic injuries.

Unlabelled: there are not a sufficient number investigating the factors in splenic injuries influencing mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the factors affecting mortality in splenic injuries.

Materials And Methods: All 237 patients with splenic injury between 2005 to 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.

Therapeutic effects of ellagic acid on L-arginin ınduced acute pancreatitis.

Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic effects of ellagic acid on L-arginin ınduced acute pancreatitis in rats.

Methods: Thirty-two were split into four groups. Group 1 (control) rats were performed only laparotomy, no drugs were administered.

Evaluation of results of lower gastrointestinal endoscopic biopsi.

Aim: The endoscopic examination is widely used and also the the gold standard in lower gastrointestinal system (LGIS) in the diagnosis and treatment of mucosal pathology. Colon and rectum often hosts premalignant lesions and relatively easily accessible organs. Therefore, colorectal cancer (CRC) is a early detectable disease.

The impact of type D personality on health-related quality of life in patients with symptomatic haemorrhoids.

Introduction: Haemorrhoids are one of the most common reasons that patients seek consultation from a colon and rectal surgeon. Health-related quality of life (HrQoL) is a significant factor in describing the burden of illness and the impact of treatment in patients with gastrointestinal disease. Type D (distressed) personality is defined as the co-occurrence of negative affect and social inhibition.

Health-related quality of life in patients with anal fissure: effect of type D personality.

Introduction: Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is a significant factor in describing the burden of illness and the impact of treatment in patients with gastrointestinal disease. Type D (distressed) personality is defined as the co-occurrence of negative affect and social inhibition.

Aim: To assess the prevalence of type D personality in patients with anal fissure and to investigate whether the presence of a type D personality would affect HRQL in patients with anal fissure.

Cesarean scar endometrioma: Case series.

Aim: To evaluate endometrioma located at cesarean scatrix.

Methods: Medical data of 6 patients who presented to our institution with abdominal wall endometrioma were evaluated retrospectively and reviewed literature in this case series. The diagnostic approaches and treatment is discussed.

Comparison of the three surgical flap techniques in pilonidal sinus surgery.

We aimed to study the efficacy of three surgical flap techniques in pilonidal surgery. Pilonidal disease is characterized by chronic inflammation and infection in the sacrococcygeal region. Complications and recurrence are common after treatment and optimal treatment for the disease has not been established yet.

Transcutaneous electrical posterior tibial nerve stimulation for chronic anal fissure: a preliminary study.

Purpose: Recent studies showed that sacral nerve stimulation might be an effective treatment option for chronic anal fissure. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation as a noninvasive alternative treatment for chronic anal fissure by stimulating the sacral nerve in the ankle via the posterior tibial nerve.

Method: In this prospective study, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation was applied for 10 days in addition to conventional medical treatment in ten patients.

Platelet parameters in hepatic hydatid cysts.

Background. Hepatic hydatid cyst infection is caused by microorganisms named Echinococcus which belong to family Taeniidae. Platelets are considered as a mediator in inflammation and infectious diseases because of the various proinflammatory substances that they contain.

A new model of reversible obstructive jaundice using rapidly absorbable suture materials.

Purpose: Reversible obstructive jaundice models have some limiting features, including the need for a second anaesthesia, re-laparotomy and surgical intervention after common bile duct ligation. The present study investigates the feasibility of a new application that can eliminate these limitations. Rapidly absorbable suture materials were used for ligation; therefore, spontaneous biliary decompression was anticipated by the self release of these rapidly degrading materials.
