Background: The aim of the study is to evaluate in vivo and in vitro effects of etanercept, a soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor, on the contractile responses of superior mesenteric artery in an experimental mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion model.
Material And Methods: After obtaining animal ethics committee approval, 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated to three groups. Control group (Gr C, n = 6) underwent a sham operation, whereas ischemia/reperfusion and treatment groups underwent 90 min ischemia and 24-h reperfusion (Gr I/R, n = 12; Gr I/R+E, n = 6).
Purpose: The influence of oral antibiotic use together with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) on surgical site infection (SSI) rate, length of hospital stay and total hospital costs in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery were evaluated in this study.
Methods: Data from 90 consecutive patients undergoing elective colorectal resection between October 2006 and September 2009 was analyzed retrospectively. All patients received MBP.
Purpose: To evaluate the optimum timing of aspirin cessation before noncardiac surgeries. We have conducted a pilot study to minimize the aspirin cessation time before various surgeries.
Methods: Eighty patients who were taking regular aspirin for secondary prevention undergoing elective surgical operations were enrolled in the study.
Pilonidal sinus (PS) is an acquired disease at the sacrococcygeal region that can be treated by different surgical techniques. Crystallised phenol application seems to be an alternative therapy to surgery with higher success rates, lower costs, faster recovery and earlier return to work. We aimed to state the success of phenol application for PS in adolescence.

- This study showcases a technique for performing single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) using a grasper directly through the skin, bypassing the typical use of a trocar.
- The authors treated five patients without any intraoperative or postoperative complications, highlighting efficient gallbladder retraction and shorter operation time.
- The findings suggest that this method may offer benefits over traditional techniques, including minimal scarring and reduced procedural complexity.
Background: A defect in collagen metabolism is suspected to be one of the factors responsible for hernia formation. Lysyl oxidase is a copper-dependent enzyme in the process that provides for the structural integrity of collagen molecules, while zinc is essential for tissue maintenance.
Materials And Methods: In a prospective fashion, copper and zinc levels were measured in plasma and tissue specimens obtained from indirect (n=23), direct (n=20) and incisional hernia patients (n=19) and from healthy controls (laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients, n=15) by enzymatic colorimetric analysis.
Introduction: Despite the use of appropriate antimicrobial therapy and intensive care support, sepsis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in surgical clinics. Low-molecular weight heparin treatment may reduce mortality and end-organ failure in sepsis. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of low-molecular weight heparins such as nadroparine, enoxaparine, and dalteparine on lipopolysaccharide-induced acute phase reaction in mice.

Methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into two groups. Diabetes was induced in the first group by intravenous streptozotocin injection.
