Paired Exchange Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Single Center Experience From Turkiye.

Background: In countries with low rates of deceased donor solid organ transplantations, live-donor liver transplantation is the preferred definitive treatment for children and adults with end-stage liver disease. However, it is known that a remarkable number of potential living liver donors are rejected due to ABO incompatibility, suboptimal liver mass, or anatomical features. Paired exchange liver transplantation (PELT) practice emerged to overcome these obstacles.

Immediate Extubation in the Operating Room Following Pediatric Liver Transplantation: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Although immediate extubation in the operating room following pediatric liver transplantation can be safe and beneficial for select patients, many surgeons and anesthesiologists are still cautious. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficiency of immediate extubation in the operating room following pediatric liver transplantation.

Methods: Sixty-four pediatric liver transplant recipients were included in this retrospective study.

Is the Presence of 2 Renal Allograft Arteries Associated with Adverse Outcomes in Live Donor Kidney Transplantation?

Objective: Although it was postulated that renal grafts with multiple arteries could lead to unfavorable recipient outcomes, this subject remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of recipients receiving renal allografts with a single artery with those receiving renal grafts with two arteries.

Materials And Methods: Adult patients who received live donor kidney transplantation in our center between January 2020 and October 2021 were included.

Results of Using the Cystic Duct for Reconstruction of One of the Multiple Bile Ducts in Right Lobe Living Donor Liver Transplantation.

Background: In right-lobe liver grafts, variations in the biliary tree anatomy can result in multiple bile duct orifices. We present our experience of 10 patients in which biliary reconstruction was performed with the cystic duct for 1 of the anastomoses with 2 separated ducts. Also, we investigated whether the bile duct anastomosis technique, number of bile duct anastomoses, and use of biliary stents affect the rate of biliary complications.

Correlation Between the Mayo Adhesive Probability Score and the Operative Time in Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy.

Background: Adherent perinephric fat (APF) is a known risk factor of surgical difficulty during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN). The Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score predicts APF accurately. The aim of this study is to identify the association between MAP score and operative time in LDN.

Comparison of Magenstrasse and Mill gastroplasty and sleeve gastrectomy techniques as an experimental study on rabbits.

Aim: Bariatric surgery is an important option when life-style modification, diet, and medical treatment are inadequate in lose weight. Bariatric surgical methods have gained popularity in recent years. In this paper, we compared the Magenstrasse and Mill(M&M) technique, with performing a simpler and more physiological type of gastroplasty without implanted foreign material such as band and reservoir, to the Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) technique.

Renal Transplantation in High Immunological Risk Patients: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: Renal transplantation (RT) in high-risk patients is increasingly performed due to an inadequate organ pool and increased rate of RT after a failed transplantation. Safety and prognosis of RT in such patients with high risk is an ongoing debate. Herein we aimed to present our single-center experience on RT of high-risk patients.

Renal Hilus Ligation With Single Stapler in Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy.

Background: Ligation of renal hilus is the most important stage of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Laparoscopic staplers are securely used for renal pedicle control. We present our donor nephrectomy cases in which we used 1 stapler for renal artery and vein ligation.

Rectal diverticulitis mimicking rectal carcinoma with intestinal obstruction: case report.

Although diverticular disease of the colon is common, the occurrence of rectal diverticula is extremely rare with only sporadic reports in the literature since 1911. Symptomatic rectal diverticula are seen even less frequently, and surgical intervention is needed for only complicated cases. Here we report the case of a 63-year-old woman presenting with rectal diverticulitis mimicking rectal carcinoma with intestinal obstruction.

The effects of hypertonic saline solution, ascorbic Acid and low-molecular-weight heparin on acute necrotizing pancreatitis in rats.

Objective: We investigated the biochemical and histopathological effects of vitamin C, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), and hypertonic solution on acute necrotizing pancreatitis and on lungs as a terminal organ.

Materials And Methods: We included 48 Sprague-Dawley rats in the study, which were divided into six groups, each with eight rats. The rats in group 1 were sacrificed immediately, in order to determine normal reference values for biochemical and histopathological data.

Retrospective evaluation of colon injury cases.

Objective: When considering abdominal region injuries, the colon is one of the most frequently wounded organs. Due to the septic contents of the colon, failure to treat or improper treatment of colon injuries increases the risk of major complications and may result in death. The aim of our study is a retrospective evaluation of colon injury cases over a 5-year period.
