Prosthetic mesh hernioplasty versus primary repair in incarcerated and strangulated groin and abdominal wall hernias with or without organ resection. Retrospective study.

Purpose: The use of synthetic materials in emergency surgery for abdominal wall hernia in a potentially infected operating field has long been debated. In the present study, we evaluated the outcome of mesh prostheses in the management of incarcerated and strangulated abdominal wall hernias with or without organ resection.

Methods: Between March 2012 and January 2020, medical records of 301 patients who underwent emergency surgery for incarcerated and strangulated abdominal wall hernias were retrospectively evaluated.

Association Between Colonic Diverticulosis and Colorectal Polyps, Advanced Neoplastic Lesions, and Colorectal Carcinomas: A Cross-Sectional, Retrospective Study.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of diverticulosis with colorectal polyps, advanced neoplastic lesions (ANLs), and colorectal cancers (CRCs).

Methods: The first-time colonoscopy records of 3496 patients were evaluated in this retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study. Data on clinical indications, presence of diverticulosis and diverticulitis, location of diverticula and polps, the size and number of polyps, and results of histopathologic examinations of polypectomies were noted.

The effect of omega-3 fatty acid and ascorbic acid on healing of ischemic colon anastomoses.

Purpose: Many systemic and local factors contribute to gastrointestinal tract anastomoses dehiscence, which is a serious and potentially fatal postoperative complication. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of omega-3 fatty acid and ascorbic acid on the healing of ischemic colon anastomosis.

Patients And Methods: 40 Wistar Albino rats weighing between 180 and 220 g were divided into four groups.

Choice of the optimal pancreaticojejunal anastomosis technique: how can we improve patient safety in pancreatic surgery?

Background/purpose: The cause of the morbidity and mortality following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in the surgical treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the periampullary region is leakage from the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. The size of the main pancreatic duct and the texture of the remnant pancreas are very important factors for a secure pancreaticojejunal anastomosis.

Methods: A new technique was developed for patients having pancreatic ducts smaller than 3 mm and a hard remnant pancreas.

Can bile duct injuries be prevented? "A new technique in laparoscopic cholecystectomy".

Background: Over the last decade, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has gained worldwide acceptance and considered to be as "gold standard" in the surgical management of symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. However, the incidence of bile duct injury in laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still two times greater compared to classic open surgery. The development of bile duct injury may result in biliary cirrhosis and increase in mortality rates.
