Endoscopic definitive treatment of liver hydatid cysts ruptured into bile duct.

Background: Intrabiliary rupture (IBR) is one of the most common complications of hepatic hydatid cysts (HHC),and the surgical treatment of major intrabiliary rupture (MIBR) leads to serious morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic definitive treatment of these patients.

Methods: This study included 38 patients who underwent ERCP for MIBR between 2004 and 2022.

Repair of diaphragmatic hernias: Retrospective analysis of 70 cases.

Background: Congenital and traumatic diaphragmatic hernias (DH) can lead to respiratory and gastrointestinal complications that can be the cause of serious morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to share our experience with the surgical repair of complicated or non-complicated DH.

Methods: Patients who were operated on under emergency or elective conditions with the diagnosis of DH between 2009 and 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.

Changing the Surgical Approach to Breast Diseases During the COVID-19 Pandemic Period.

Background Postponing elective surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic has also affected the approach to both malignant and benign breast diseases. This paper aims to share how the COVID-19 pandemic affects our approach to breast cancer, benign breast cases, and the procedures' results. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary-level public hospital in Istanbul, Turkey.

The effect of patient transfer type to the operating room on surgical site infection: Concerns versus evidence.

Background: Concerns about surgical site infection (SSI) give rise to practices and procedures not evidence-based.

Objectives: This study investigates whether the type of patient transfer to operating rooms plays a role in developing surgical site infection.

Methods: Three thousand four hundred and seventy-one patients were divided into two groups: transfer group with stretcher (ST) (n = 1699) and patient bed transfer group (PBT) (n = 1772).

The role of serum nesfatin-1 in a rat model of acute pancreatitis.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a disease that can still be fatal despite rapid advances in medicine. The relationship between serum nesfatin-1 levels and AP is still to be fully resolved.

Objectives: To investigate the utility of serum nesfatin-1 levels in the diagnosis of AP.

Gastric fundic gland metastasis of renal cell carcinoma 14 years after the primary diagnosis.

Gastric metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare and associated with poor outcomes. In this case, we report gastric fundic gland metastasis presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a patient who had a history of nephrectomy due to RCC 14 years ago. Metastasis of any cancer to the stomach is relatively uncommon.

Reliability of Hem-o-Lok clip in laparoscopic appendectomy is an uncharted territory.

Aim: Laparoscopic appendectomy is increasingly used in the treatment of acute appendicitis. We aimed in the present report to evaluate the reliability of the Hem-o-Lok clip used in appendix stump capping for occluding orifice .

Material And Methods: In this study, sequential laparoscopic appendectomy cases, in whom Hem-o-Lok clips was employed, in a single center between January 2017 and June 2020 because of acute appendicitis were retrospectively analyzed.

Surgeons, Hernia Surgery and Informed Consent in the Seventeenth Century Ottoman Istanbul.

Background: In the seventeenth century Ottoman Istanbul, especially Greek surgeons specialized in hernia surgery. Both Muslim and non-Muslim patients had signed contracts with surgeons in sharia courts before undergoing a surgery. In this study, we analyze these documents, which serve as informed consent in the Ottoman period, in detail.

Zig Maneuver in Total Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair.

Background: The difficulties in the hernia sac dissection in repairing large inguinal hernias with the endoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) technique prolong the operation and increase the risk of injury. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Zig maneuver (ligation of the hernia sac at the deep inguinal ring) in TEP in male patients with L3 inguinal hernia by European Hernia Society classification.

Materials And Methods: A total of 224 male patients with L3 inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic TEP surgery in 2018 and 2019 were retrospectively screened and included in the study.

Systematic assessment of complications after laparoscopic colorectal surgery for advanced colorectal cancer: A retrospective study using Clavien-Dindo classification, 5-year experience.

Aim: The presence and frequency of surgical complications indicate the quality of the surgery performed. However, a standard classification system should specify, describe, and compare complications. Clavien Dindo classification is an easily applicable classification in the evaluation of complications.

Extended View Totally Extraperitoneal Technique and Its Advantages in Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair.

Endoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) is used increasingly in inguinal hernias. Perhaps the most fundamental difficulty of the classical TEP method is that the dissection plan it offers is overly limited, which is among the reasons why techniques other than TEP are preferred in large scrotal hernias. This study discusses our experience with the extended view totally extraperitoneal (e-TEP) method, which significantly expands the dissection plan compared to the classical method.

Rat Model Investigation on the Role of Biomarkers in Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.

Objectives: Liver function is affected by ischemiareperfusion. Ischemia-reperfusion injury to the liver often follows hepatobiliary surgery. Here, we investigated biomarkers of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury using an animal model.

Which Is More Effective: Laparoscopic or Open Partial Cholecystectomy?

In laparoscopic cholecystectomy, partial cholecystectomy is usually preferred when the anatomic exploration is not enough to prevent bile duct injury and other complications. Some surgeons choose laparoscopically to perform partial cholecystectomy, whereas others convert to open surgery. In this study, we aim to discuss and compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic partial cholecystectomy (LPC) and open partial cholecystectomy (OPC).
