Introduction: The rapid increase in obesity and related problems has heightened the importance of obesity and metabolic surgery, resulting in a continuing search for the ideal surgical method. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), which is the gold standard method, and the relatively newer method of single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass.
Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent RYGB and SASI bypass were reviewed and compared regarding excess weight loss (EWL) and HgA1c, fasting glucose, serum iron, ferritin, hemoglobin (Hgb), and vitamin B12 levels.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the focus of surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) on enhancing life quality beyond symptom relief. The comparison involves laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and Rossetti modification techniques.
Methods: Patients intolerant to or experiencing relapse after medical therapy underwent either standard Nissen procedure (Group 1, n = 61) or Rossetti modification (Group 2, n = 42).
Pancreas cancer is an important cause of mortality worldwide. It has no particular symptoms, and may cause different complaints according to tumor diameter and localization. Local invasion may develop in the short term and distant metastasis may occur in vascular structures in its neighborhood.

Material And Methods: Sixty-two male Wistar albino rats were distributed into six different groups. Obstructive jaundice was performed by legating the common bile duct.
Objective: This study investigated and compared the effects of antibiotic and steroid lavage on survival and cytokine levels in an experimental abdominal sepsis model.
Background: In abdominal sepsis, abdominal lavage with saline or antibiotic solutions is a well-documented intervention known to have positive impact on survival; however, the effects of steroid lavage in abdominal sepsis have not yet been investigated.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-six Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 24).
