Objective: Treatment and follow-up are controversial in patients whose thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is reported as atypia of undetermined significance and follicular lesion of uncertain significance (AUS/FLUS). We aimed the efficacy of the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) in preventing unnecessary thyroidectomies in patients with FNA cytology results as AUS/FLUS.
Methods: In Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University General Surgery Clinic, case series between 2017 and 2020 were analyzed with thyroid operated.
Objetivo: La apendicitis aguda es uno de los procedimientos quirúrgicos más aplicados en todo el mundo. Una de las complicaciones de la apendicectomía es la apendicitis del muñón. El diagnóstico de apendicitis del muñón suele retrasarse.

AIMS Omentin is an adipokine primarily produced by visceral adipose tissue and its reduced levels have been shown to be associate with worse metabolic outcomes. We aimed to study the effects of preoperative ibuprofen on postoperative omentin levels in rats after surgery. METHODS Forty-eight albino Wistar rats, 6 in each of 8 groups according to the surgical procedure (laparotomy, laparotomy plus ibuprofen (IBU), nephrectomy, nephrectomy plus IBU, hepatectomy, hepatectomy plus IBU, splenectomy and splenectomy plus IBU).

Objective: Tumor budding is a parameter that is increasingly understood in colorectal carcinomas. We aimed to investigate the relationship between tumor budding, prognostic factors, and survival.
Methods: A total of 185 patients who had undergone colorectal surgery were observed.
Objectives: Complications after colorectal surgery have not been reduced in recent years. Anastomotic leakage is responsible for nearly all morbidity in colonic surgery and for about one third of the mortality.
Material And Methods: For the study, 34 albino Wistar rats (about 155-190 g in weight) were divided into four experimental groups.
Aim: We have assessed the risk factors for mortality and morbidity subsequent to D2-gastrectomy in gastric cancer cases.
Patients And Method: The records (age, gender, comorbidity, ASA score, POSSUM score, type of gastrectomy, additional organ resection and pathologic TNM stage) were reviewed in 49 cases of D2 gastrectomies (between 2003 and 2008) retrospectively.
Results: Mean age was 60.
