A novel, easier and safer alternative method for oesophagojejunal reconstruction after totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy.

Background: This study presents a novel laparoscopic modified overlapping oesophagojejunostomy anastomosis method which consists of self-pulling and latter transection to perform a safer anastomosis, describes the anastomosis technique in detail and reveals its short-term outcomes.

Methods: Forty-five patients underwent totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy using the self-pulling and oesophagus latter-cut overlap method anastomosis for gastric cancer from January 2019-2022. During the self-pulling phase, the oesophagus was ligated at the level of the gastroesophageal junction or above and dragged down by a ligature rope to mobilise up to 5-6 cm.

Early results of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy in comparison with the conventional: Does it have any impact on quality of life?

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for gallbladder diseases. In recent times, single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy(SILC) has developed as a less invasive alternative technique to conventional laparoscopy. In the literature, many studies have compared SILC and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) procedures but a limited number of studies have compared the two techniques with regard to quality of life (QOL).

Giant Cutaneous Leiomyosarcoma Originating From the Abdominal Wall: A Case Report.

Background: Leiomyosarcoma, a rare type of tumor, accounts for 5-10% of all soft tissue tumors.

Case Report: A 44-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency service of our medical faculty with the complaints of fatigue and abdominal mass.

Conclusions: The pathology result was leiomyosarcoma.

Risk factors associated with malignancy and with triage to surgery in thyroid nodules classified as Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS).

Background: Selection of nodules for surgery diagnosed as Bethesda category III [atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) category] is very important. We aimed at to define the predictive factors for malignancy and factors associated with triage to surgery.

Methods: The records of all patients with nodules who underwent fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and classified by Bethesda reporting system as AUS/FLUS between 2011 and 2015 at our institution were reviewed.

Cytoreductive surgery (SRC) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis: Our initial experience and technical details.

Objective: The aim of this study is to present our initial experience in peritoneal carcinomatosis treatment and the technical details of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the light of current literature.

Material And Methods: Data of 27 consecutive patients who were treated with CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis in Medical Park Samsun Hospital, between November 2012 and September 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Treatment indication and management were evaluated at the multidisciplinary oncology council.
