Comparison of Peritoneal Cytology Results Before and After Resection in Gastric Cancer Patients.

Objective: Peritoneal cytology is used to detect the peritoneal spread of gastric cancer and to assess survival rate. The aim of this study was to compare the risk factors, recurrence, and survival of gastric cancer patients with positive and negative peritoneal cytology before and after resection.

Materials And Methods: Patients with gastric cancer who underwent elective surgery were retrospectively analysed.

Long-Term Efficacy of Single-Incision Laparoscopic Intragastric Resection in Treating Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), the most common mesenchymal tumors in the gastrointestinal tract, are increasingly treated with minimally invasive surgeries. Developed techniques include laparoscopic, endoscopic, and hybrid methods for gastric GIST resection. Our study, focusing on single-incision laparoscopic intragastric resection for gastric GISTs, aims to evaluate its safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes.

The impact of the preoperative red blood cell distribution width on weight loss prediction after sleeve gastrectomy.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate whether RDW has a predictive impact on weight loss after obesity surgery.

Material And Methods: This was a single-institution retrospective study. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the variables affecting the %EBMIL and %EWL values.

Tension-free inguinal hernia repair with transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in elderly high-risk patients.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is still being studied today because it is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the world and is used in people of all ages. Although many centers use spinal anesthetic to treat inguinal hernias, complications such as hypotension from peripheral vasodilation, delayed mobilization from paralysis, urine retention and post-spinal headache might occur. Regional blocks are a significant component of multimodal anaesthesia that promotes postoperative recovery.

Nonoperative Management of Leaks After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy With Endoscopic Stents in a Tertiary Referral Center.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a frequently performed operation. Leaks are formidable complications; however, the optimal management of these leaks is controversial.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 15 patients referred to our tertiary center between 2012 and 2016 with leaks after LSG.
