Objectives: Bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) is the most effective treatment method of morbid obesity. Optimum education of medical students regarding BMS is important for proper assessment of morbidly obese patients in the future.
Material And Methods: Medical students from five and six years were determined as the targeted study population.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the bilateral 4-quadrant laparoscopic-assisted transversus abdominis plane (BLTAP) block for managing pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
- Conducted at Private Medicabil Hospital in Turkey with 160 patients divided into four groups, various methods of pain management were tested, including standard analgesia and local anesthetic infiltration.
- Results indicated that the BLTAP block significantly reduced pain scores compared to standard analgesia and unilateral techniques, highlighting its superiority in early postoperative pain relief after LC.
Objectives: This survey study attempted to determine Turkish primary care physicians' (PCP) knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of obesity treatment and bariatric surgery. Moreover, the relationship between the duration of practice as a physician, and especially the indications for bariatric surgery and referral to surgery were investigated.
Material And Methods: A survey of 27 questions was administered via social media and the internet using the SurveyMonkey platform.
Effect of chitosan coating on surgical sutures to strengthen the colonic anastomosis.
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
September 2018
Background: We evaluated the feasibility of chitosan-coated sutures for intestinal anastomosis strength through wound-healing effect.
Methods: Vicryl and PDS sutures were coated with 2% chitosan. While laparotomy was applied to the first group, chitosan was applied in the peritoneal cavity in the second group.
The protective effect of ClinOleic against post-surgical adhesions.
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
January 2014
Background: Although the English-language literature is full of studies about post-surgical adhesions, no definitive method has yet been identified to prevent them. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of ClinOleic on reducing post-surgical adhesion formation.
Methods: Surgery was performed on 40 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats that were randomly assigned to receive either intraperitoneal ClinOleic, which was used to mimic chyle (ClinOleic group), soybean oil (soybean oil group), olive oil (olive oil group), or 0.
