GLR in Colorectal Cancers: An Easily Accessible Prognostic Marker.

Background And Objectives: Colorectal cancer remains a significant health concern, necessitating reliable prognostic indicators for effective management. This study explores the preoperative prognostic significance of the Glucose/Lymphocyte Ratio (GLR) in colorectal cancers.

Methods: The study retrospectively analyzed records of patients who underwent surgery for elective colorectal cancers between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2021, at the Koşuyolu Training and Research Hospital Gastroenterologic Surgery Department.

Hepatic bridge and round ligament of the liver during cytoreductive surgery: a retrospective cohort.

Purpose: The hepatic bridge as an anatomical variation may lead to recurrence and treatment failure in cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) by constituting an obscure region during surgery. This report aimed to highlight the relationship between the hepatic bridge and various prognostic factors in peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Methods: Data of 101 patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis in a single centre were retrospectively reviewed.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours.

Objective: To analyse the gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) patients' inter-demographics, histological type and association with secondary tumours.

Study Design: A case series. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of General Surgery, Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, between January 2010 and December 2018.

Comparison of Common Surgical Procedures in Non-complicated Pilonidal Sinus Disease, a 7-Year Follow-Up Trial.

Background: Pilonidal disease is a common problem in primary health care which may require immediate surgical referral. Although various management options have been proposed, so far there is no gold standard treatment. The aim of the present study was to determine which of the following techniques was superior as regards postoperative complications and recurrence, midline unshifted adipofascial turn-over flap, midline shifted adipofascial turn-over flap or Karydakis flap.

Active gas aspiration to reduce pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective: To investigate to what effect active subdiaphragmatic gas aspiration reduces pain after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Materials And Methods: A total of 104 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly placed into 2 groups. Group I included active subdiaphragmatic gas aspiration (n=52) while group II included simple evacuation (n=52) without any additional procedures.

Natal cleft deeper in patients with pilonidal sinus: implications for choice of surgical procedure.

Purpose: The study was planned to evaluate the depth of natal cleft in patients with pilonidal sinus disease and in healthy persons.

Methods: The study included 50 patients with pilonidal sinus disease and 51 volunteers. Data including body mass index and natal cleft depth were recorded.
