Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who underwent laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) or single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADIS) and analyze the postoperative first-year results of these two operations.
Methods: Forty-three patients who have undergone LGP and 36 patients who had undergone SADI-S were included in this study. Baseline and postoperative first-year data of patients with T2DM who have undergone LGP or SADI-S in our clinic between January 1, 2013, and June 30, 2016, were retrospectively analyzed.

Background And Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) to identify the challenges associated with neuraxial anesthesia.
Materials And Methods: The MRI images in the supine position of 203 patients admitted to hospital with complaints of lower back pain were studied. Medial sagittal slices of the lumbar spine were imaged from L1 to S1.
Background: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a condition characterised by chronic abdominal symptoms associated with median arcuate ligament (MAL) compression of the coeliac artery.
Aim: In this observational study, we aimed to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic treatment in patients with MALS.
Materials And Methods: The data of ten patients with MALS who were subjected to laparoscopic sectioning of the MAL were retrospectively reviewed.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the prognostic role of lactate dehydrogenase-to-albumin ratio (LAR) in gastric cancer patients undergoing curative resection.
Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted including resectable gastric cancer patients. According to the time-dependent receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, the optimal threshold for pretreatment LAR was 5.
The swallowing of dentures during general anaesthesia is a significant problem for anesthesiologists.

It has become an important issue for anesthesiologists preoperatively due to the increase in the proportion of dentures associated with prolongation of life.
