Aim: To investigate the effect of preadmission education given to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients on preoperative and postoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, and patient vital signs.
Methods: The study was designed as randomized, controlled, experimental, and single-blind. This study was conducted with 68 patients who met the inclusion criteria and underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in the general surgery clinic of a university hospital between December 2022 and October 2023.
Is phenytoin a safe agent for staple line recovery after gastric sleeve surgery in rats?
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effect of phenytoin on tissue healing in gastric sleeve surgery, focusing on preventing staple line leakage, a serious complication.
- - Researchers analyzed how phenytoin impacts bursting pressure at the staple line and examined gene expressions related to healing in rats, revealing significant improvements in collagen and epithelialization scores in the treated group.
- - The findings suggest that phenytoin enhances the healing process after gastric sleeve surgery and could potentially serve as a new preventive treatment for gastric leaks in humans.
Investigation of the effects of post-operative intraperitoneal, oral, and rectal phenytoin administration on colorectal anastomosis in rats.
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
September 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how phenytoin, a medication, affects the healing of colorectal anastomoses in rats, focusing on different application methods: intraperitoneal, oral, and rectal.
- It measures the impact of phenytoin on gene expressions related to healing and compares bursting pressure and tissue examination results between treated and control rats.
- Findings reveal that phenytoin application significantly increases anastomotic bursting pressure and enhances expression of genes involved in healing, particularly FGF2 and TGF-β, indicating potential benefits for improving recovery following colonic surgery.
Importance of HALP Score in Breast Cancer and its Diagnostic Value in Predicting Axillary Lymph Node Status.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak
June 2022
Objective: To determine the diagnostic value of the haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score in predicting axillary lymph node (ALN) involvement.
Study Design: Observational study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of General Surgery, Balıkesir University and Mersin City Hospital, Turkey from January 2016-December 2021.
Predictive Factors of Success in Sleeve Gastrectomy: One-Year Follow-up and the Significance of HALP Score.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak
December 2021
Objective: To investigate whether HALP score [hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte (LY), platelet] can predict weight loss in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.
Study Design: A cohort study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of General Surgery, Balıkesir University, Turkey from July 2019 to July 2020.
Objectives: To investigate the cure rate and adverse effects of silver nitrate application for treatment of pilonidal sinus disease (PSD). Number of sinus pit orifices, and complications with silver nitrate application and debridement for sacrococcygeal PSD between January 2015 and July 2018 were analyzed in this retrospective study. Data were obtained from surgical, discharge, and outpatient follow-up records.
