Article Synopsis
- After thyroid surgery, changes in neck anatomy and post-operative fibrosis can lead to misleading sonoelastographic results, potentially causing unnecessary biopsies or surgeries in patients with recurrent nodular goiter.
- This study focused on measuring shear-wave velocity (SWV) values in patients with benign nodules who developed recurrences after total or near-total thyroidectomy (T/N-TT).
- The findings indicated that SWV values were significantly higher in the operated recurrent nodular goiter group compared to controls, suggesting that using standard sonoelastography values for unoperated patients may result in incorrect assessments of nodules.
Background: As a chronic condition, pilonidal disease affects a young population, and recovery after the surgical procedures performed to treat this condition require time off from work. Therefore, the search for an ideal treatment is still ongoing.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare early and late results of 2 minimally invasive treatment options used to treat pilonidal disease.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of the modified Alvarado score and the RIPASA scoring system in diagnosing acute appendicitis (AA) among 100 surgical cases.
- The RIPASA score showed higher sensitivity (94%) and specificity (88%) compared to the modified Alvarado score, which had a sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 69%.
- Overall, the RIPASA scoring system was concluded to be more accurate for predicting AA, demonstrating better performance in diagnosing this condition.
Background/aim: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures worldwide. There is still controversy over which method has the best postoperative results. The aim of this study was to compare early and late postoperative results of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy (TEP) and open Lichtenstein herniorrhaphy (OLR).
