Unroofing curettage for treatment of simple and complex sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease.

Purpose: Sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition with an incidence of 26:100,000 in the United States. However, its etiology and optimal treatment remain controversial.

Methods: We included 129 and 74 patients with simple and complex sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease, respectively.

Evaluation of complications after laparoscopic and open appendectomy by the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program surgical risk calculator.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the predictive level of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) risk calculator for post-appendectomy complications.

Methods: A total of 292 patients who were hospitalized for general appendectomy were included in the study. The age range of the patients was 18-76 years (mean: 35.

Mastodynia: is imaging necessary in young patients?

Objective: Mastalgia is the most frequent symptom seen in patients who undergo breast imaging. There are various medical treatment methods in the literature. However, malignancy should be excluded before starting treatment.

Instant Abdominal Wall Reconstruction with Biologic Mesh following Resection of Locally Advanced Colonic Cancer.

We present a case of immediate abdominal wall reconstruction with biologic mesh following the resection of locally advanced colonic cancer. The tumor in the right colon did not respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Surgical enbloc excision, including excision of the invasion in the abdominal wall, was achieved, and the defect was reconstructed with porcine dermal collagen mesh.

Fibrin sealant effects on the ilioinguinal nerve.

Background: Chronic pain after mesh repair for inguinal hernia may be related to the trauma to the regional nerves by direct compression with sutures, staples, or tacks during mesh fixation. Fibrin sealant (FS) has been recommended to eliminate this risk. In this experimental study, the effects of FS on the ilioinguinal nerve when a mesh was applied was searched.

Recurrent Incisional Hernia due to Pseudomyxoma Peritonei.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare but challenging neoplastic disease which is characterized with intraperitoneal mucinous-gelatinous fluid accumulation. It rarely presents as a mass mimicking abdominal wall hernias A recurrent incisional hernia due to pseudomyxoma peritonei is presented here. A 60-year-old female patient had been operated on for a left mucinous ovarian cyst 20 cm in diameter in 1998.

The faith of ilioinguinal nerve after preserving, cutting, or ligating it: an experimental study of mesh placement on inguinal floor.

Background: Postherniorrhaphy chronic pain may be related to the trauma to the regional nerves or prosthetic mesh. This study was aimed to search the objective findings of prosthetic mesh placement on the ilioinguinal nerve in three different nerve treatment patterns with two different mesh types.

Materials And Methods: Thirty New Zealand rabbits were used.

Use of haemostatic matrix in management of rectus hematoma in an anticoagulated patient: a case report.

Rectus sheath hematoma may present as a painful mass in the anterior abdominal wall. The underlying reasons may vary, while anticoagulant use and thromboembolism prophylaxis are documented causes. Treatment is mostly conservative however interventional procedures can be required.
