Postoperative physical activity limitations and balance changes on patients who have been operated for breast cancer.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the postoperative physical activity limitations and balance changes in patients who have been operated on for breast cancer. Some physical activity limitations and balance disorders can be expected after breast cancer surgery.

Methods: From 2008 to 2016, 112 patients who underwent breast cancer surgery were included in this study.

Misleading findings of liver-specific MR contrast agent for radiological diagnosis of cysto-biliary communication in hydatid cysts.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (CE-MRCP) and T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (T2W HASTE) sequences for diagnosis of cysto-biliary communication in hydatid cysts compared to surgical results.

Methods: Preoperative abdominal magnetic resonance imaging examinations of patients who underwent surgery for hepatic hydatid cysts were reviewed by two radiologists retrospectively. A total of 45 patients with hydatid cysts were included.

Influence of repeated measurements on small bowel length.

Purpose: Measurement of small bowel length (SBL) is a common procedure in gastrointestinal surgery. When required, repeated SBL measurements can be done during surgery. Our aim was to evaluate whether these repeated measurements differ in SBL results.

Effect of Copper Staining in Wilson Disease: A Liver Explant Study.

Objectives: Wilson disease is a rare genetic disease with clinical and histopathologic differential diagnostic challenges. In this study, we evaluated the histopathologic findings of explanted livers in Wilson disease, with special emphasis on copper histochemistry.

Materials And Methods: Our study group was recruited by reviewing archived histopathology reports and the liver transplant clinic patient records retrospectively for patients who had liver transplant for Wilson disease between January 2010 and June 2015, at Turgut Ozal Medical Center.

Having a Healthy Birth With a 100-Year-Old Liver.

In March 2008, a 19-year-old woman required emergency liver transplantation due to acute-on-chronic liver failure. No living donor candidate was available. A marginal deceased liver that had been rejected by all the other centers was offered.

Hepatoduodenal ligament dissection technique during recipient hepatectomy for liver transplantation: How I do it?

Accurate dissection of the hepatoduodenal ligament in the recipient is vital for the success of liver transplantation surgery. High incidence of anatomic variations at the hepatic artery, portal vein and biliary ducts in the hepatoduodenal ligament is well known. Surgical experience is important to be able to foresee the most common anatomic diversities and the possible variations, in order to make a safe and accurate dissection in the hepatic hilum.

Giant Meckel's diverticulum torsion that mimics adnexal pathology.

Meckel's diverticulum is a real diverticulum located at the antimesenteric portion of intestinal loops and including all layers of the intestinal wall. It is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, and its incidence is 1-3%. Many asymptomatic cases are diagnosed when complications occur.

Gastric bezoar after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity: A case report.

Introduction: We aimed to present a patient with gastric pouch bezoar after having a bariatric surgery.

Presentation Of Case: Sixty-three years old morbid obese female had a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery 14 months ago. She has lost 88% of her excess body mass index; but started to suffer from nausea, abdominal distention and vomiting lately, especially for the last two months.

Reresection of Colorectal Liver Metastasis with Vena Cava Resection.

The best known treatment of the colorectal liver metastasis is the complete surgical excision with clean surgical margins. However, liver resections sometimes cannot appear technically feasible due to the high number of metastases in the liver, in cases of recurrent resections or invasion of the tumors to the major vascular structures or neighboring organs. Here, we presented a colorectal recurrent liver metastasis invading the retrohepatic vena cava, right adrenal gland, and right diaphragm.

Fibrin sealant use in pilonidal sinus: Systematic review.

Aim: To review the current data about the success rates of fibrin sealant use in pilonidal disease.

Methods: Fibrin sealant can be used for different purposes in pilonidal sinus treatment, such as filling in the sinus tracts, covering the open wound after excision and lay-open treatment, or obliterating the subcutaneous dead space before skin closure. We searched Pubmed, Google-Scholar, Ebsco-Host, clinicaltrials, and Cochrane databases and found nine studies eligible for analysis; these studies included a total of 217 patients (84% male, mean age 24.

Comparison of Direct Trocar Entry and Veress Needle Entry in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: We aimed to compare the direct trocar insertion (DTI) and Veress needle insertion (VNI) techniques in laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-one patients scheduled for bariatric surgery at Inonu University, Malatya, Turkey, were included in this study. In 39 patients, a bladed retractable nonoptical trocar was used for DTI, and VNI was performed in 42 patients.

Unusual penetration of plastic biliary stent in a large ampullary carcinoma: A case report.

Endoscopic biliary stenting is a well-established treatment of choice for many obstructive biliary disorders. Commonly used plastic endoprostheses have a higher risk of clogging and dislocation. Distal stent migration is an infrequent complication.

Prospective randomized comparison of oral sodium phosphate and sennoside A+B calcium lavage for colonoscopy preparation.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess 2 different bowel-cleansing agents.

Methods: The patients were prospectively randomized to 2 arms of sodium phosphate versus Sennoside A+B calcium preparation. Laboratory assessment, body weight, height, and vital signs were obtained at baseline and before colonoscopy.
