Assessment of Surgical and Quality-of-Life Outcomes Between Laparoscopic Versus Open Inguinal Hernia Repair in Geriatric Patients.

Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgery, especially in the elderly population. However, the decision to perform surgery in elderly patients can be challenging due to higher complication rates. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery is less commonly used in the elderly population despite its advantages.

Prospective Study on Avoiding Seroma Formation by Flap Fixation After Modified Radical Mastectomy.

Introduction: Seroma development after mastectomy is a common complication. Continued seroma causes increased outpatient visits, repeated aspirations, infection, delayed healing, delayed adjuvant therapy, and increased cost. Various treatments are being attempted to prevent and reduce seroma development.

Prognostic value of KI-67 proliferation index in luminal breast cancers.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of the KI-67 proliferation index, especially in breast cancer (BC) patients without HER-2 expression and no nodal involvement.

Material And Methods: The database of hormone-receptor-positive patients who underwent surgery for BC in our Surgical Oncology Clinic between 2008 and 2020 was retrospectively reviewed and recorded. Patients were categorized based on their KI-67 level, considering the cutoff value of 20%.

Management of Aberrant Left Hepatic Artery During Laparoscopic Gastrectomy and Consequences.

Aberrant left hepatic artery (ALHA) can exist in up to 25% of the population. The presence of ALHA during lymph node (LN) dissection in gastric cancer may complicate the process. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the existence rate, management, and consequences of ALHA in our laparoscopic gastrectomy series.

The effect and clinical significance of using nathanson liver retractor on liver function tests in laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery.

Aim: There are very few studies in the literature investigating the changes caused by the Nathanson retractors in liver function tests (LFT) after LG and its clinical significance. The present study investigated the changes made by the Nathanson retractor used during LG on LFT and its clinical significance.

Material And Method: The data of 236 patients, who underwent radical gastrectomy for primary gastric cancer at Surgical Oncology Unit in the period between January 2015 and January 2020 were retrospective studied.

Outcomes of early cholecystectomy (within 7 days of admission) for acute cholecystitis according to diagnosis and severity grading by Tokyo 2013 Guideline.

Objective: The timing of early cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis is still controversial, and data regarding the use of Tokyo 2013 guideline for diagnosis and severity grading in Acute Cholecystitis is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and pathologic outcomes of early cholecystectomy after 72 hr and within seven days of index admission according to Tokyo 2013 guideline for diagnosis and severity grading of Acute cholecystitis (in patients with Acute cholecystitis.

Material And Methods: Medical charts of 172 patients who underwent early cholecystectomy after 72 hr and within 7 days of index admission with a diagnosis of Acute cholecystitis between Aug 2009 and Apr 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.

Visceral organ resection during femoral hernia surgery is a predictor of morbidity.

Reports on the outcomes of emergency and elective femoral hernia surgery are scarce. Most studies do not distinguish femoral hernia from other types of groin hernia; studies of femoral hernia alone are few in number. The main objective of the present study was to identify factors affecting morbidity of femoral hernia patients.
