Comparison of the Effectiveness of Ultrasound Imaging and Perioperative Measurement in the Diagnosis and Characterization of Incisional Hernia.

Background: Incisional hernia (IH) is a common complication after abdominal surgery, and there is no gold standard imaging modality for its diagnosis. Although computed tomography is frequently used in clinical practice, it has limitations such as radiation exposure and relatively high cost. The aim of this study is to establish standardization and hernia typing by comparing preoperative ultrasound (US) measurements and perioperative measurements in IH cases.

Effects of Carvedilol on liver ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the potential protective effect of Carvedilol against liver ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.

Methods: A total of 40 Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=10 each). Group I (Sham/Control group) underwent only laparotomy, Group II (Carvedilol group) was administered carvedilol and then underwent laparotomy, Group III (I/R group) underwent laparotomy and hepatic ischemia/reperfusion, and Group IV (I/R + Carvedilol group) was administered carvedilol and then underwent laparotomy and hepatic ischemia/reperfusion.

The sensitivity of ultrasound in the clinical diagnosis of inguinal hernias in adults: a comparative study.

Objective: Ultrasonography (US) is a non-invasive, non-ionizing radiation modality highly successful at diagnosing inguinal hernia. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the accuracy of ultrasound in evaluating defects of fascia in inguinal hernias and compare with surgical findings.

Material And Methods: A total of 33 patients with a sonographic diagnosis of an inguinal hernia are included to study.

Perforated colorectal cancers: clinical outcomes of 18 patients who underwent emergency surgery.

Introduction: Although colon cancer perforations are rare among acute abdominal syndromes, it is a clinical picture with high mortality that requires urgent treatment.

Aim: In this study, the clinical results of patients who were operated in emergency conditions due to colorectal cancer perforation were evaluated.

Material And Methods: The data of 18 patients treated for colorectal cancer perforation in our clinic between February 2014 and February 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.

Measurement of hiatal surface area and other hiatus oesophageal diameters at computed tomography imaging in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and its relationship with hiatal hernia.

Background: The oesophageal hiatus is a long and oblique opening in the diaphragm where the thoracic section of the oesophagus passes into the abdomen. Enlarged hiatal surface and insufficiency are considered to be associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia (HH). In this study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate the relationship and the presence of GERD with HH by performing hiatal surface area (HSA) and other hiatal measurements at the thorax and abdominal computed tomography (CT) images in cases without any intra-abdominal or oesophageal surgery history.

Comparison of negative-pressure incision management system in wound dehiscence: A prospective, randomized, observational study.

Wound dehiscence is a significant problem faced by surgeons after major abdominal surgery. In this study, it was aimed to select the best incision management system to keep the incision edges together and prevent wound opening, and infection by protecting the incision. In this study, 60 patients who underwent abdominal surgery were evaluated regarding their risk of wound dehiscence.

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of strangulated femoral hernia: Superiority of an unusual emergency surgical approach due to a case.

Introduction: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common operations of general surgery. In order to avoid complicated and urgent cases, performing such operations electively is generally accepted. Otherwise, unforeseen emergency surgical situations accompanied by incarceration and strangulation may occur.

Atraumatic splenic rupture secondary to abscess in a hemodialysis patient: a rare and fatal cause of acute abdomen diagnosed late.

Splenic abscess is a very rare condition in the general population. It is more likely to develop in association with underlying comorbidities and trauma. More attention should be paid in patients with immunosuppression, diabetes mellitus, and congenital or acquired immunocompromise.

Intraparenchymal Leiomyoma of the Breast: A Rare Location for an Infrequent Tumor.

Intraparenchymal leiomyoma of the breast are among benign non-epithelial tumors with the lowest incidence. Although it displays a benign histology, it may be confused with malignant lesions and create diagnostic confusion. In this paper, we report a 44-year-old woman with a painless mass with a diameter of 1.
