Near Complete Biliopancreatic Segment Necrosis: A Rare and Unknown Entity Observed After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass-A Case Report.

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is one of the common bariatric surgery procedures performed worldwide. Necrosis of the biliopancreatic or Roux limbs in the late period after RYGB is a rarely observed condition, the most common causes of which are postoperative adhesion, inflammatory entities, volvulus, intussusception, and internal herniations. The goal of surgical treatment is the removal of the necrotic segment and the reconstruction of biliopancreatic or gastric drainage.

Management of membranous tracheal rupture due to the endotracheal tube cuff during thyroid surgery.

Tracheobronchial ruptures can be extremely dramatic and life threatening and are encountered in approximately 5 out of 100,000 cases after orotracheal intubation. They can occur as a result of intubation, tracheostomy, and bronchoscopy. In this case report, we presented a 56-year-old female patient with a history of thyroid surgery 27 years prior who presented to our clinic with recurrent multinodular goiter.

Use of the laser in the pilonidal sinus alone or in combination with phenol.

Objective: We investigated the effectiveness of combining laser treatment with phenol in the management of pilonidal sinus.

Methods: We present here a retrospective analysis of patients with pilonidal sinus disease who were treated in the general surgery clinic of the Balikesir University Hospital between October 2019 and February 2022.

Results: Recurrence was observed in three patients (13.

Evaluation of public's perception of scar cosmesis after thyroidectomy: results of a survey of Turkish versus South Korean individuals.

Purpose: Visible scars on the neck caused by thyroid surgery give rise to significant aesthetic, functional, and psychosocial problems. The objective of this study is to comparatively investigate the public perception of neck scar cosmesis in Turkish and South Korean populations.

Methods: This survey was prepared to collect participants' demographic and socioeconomic data and determine their perception of scar cosmesis on the neck and consisted of 15 questions.

Intraoperative freehand SPECT as an alternative imaging technique for use in radioguided parathyroidectomy.

Freehand single photon emission computed tomography (fhSPECT) is a technique that is used to monitor body's radioactivity intraoperatively. Accordingly, in this study, the feasibility of using fhSPECT for intraoperative 3D mapping in radioguided parathyroidectomy has been assessed. Patients, who were diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism consecutively, were scanned intraoperatively using fhSPECT to locate parathyroid adenomas before surgical procedure.

Influence of rocuronium on achieving optimal vagal stimulation during intraoperative nerve monitoring in thyroid surgery.

Background: In the present study we determine the feasibility of intraoperative neuromonitoring following the administration of a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent during thyroid operations, as well as the influence of rocuronium on the achievement of optimal vagal stimulation during intraoperative neuromonitoring in thyroid surgery. We further investigate whether accelerometry is a reliable approach to obtaining an ipsilateral vagus signal prior to recurrent laryngeal nerve dissection.

Methods: Included in the study were 61 thyroidectomized patients whose demographic data, indications, type of surgery, vagus, and recurrent nerve values before and after resection were obtained.

Turkish endocrine surgery publications in international scientific journals.

Objective: In recent years, major progress has been made in the field of endocrine surgery in Turkey, similar to that in the rest of the world. Parallel to these developments, there has been a significant increase in the number of publications in the related field. Our study aimed to evaluate Turkey's publications related to endocrine surgery in the international arena.
