A rare cause of upper gastrointestinal system obstruction: Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (Wilkie's syndrome); two different case reports.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is defined as a collection of clinical symptoms and findings that result from compression of the third part of the duodenum between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. Here, we describe two patients who were diagnosed with superior mesenteric artery syndrome. Two patients, 18 and 38 years old, respectively, presented to our clinic with complaints of nausea, vomiting, and weight loss.

Factors Affecting the Development of Gallstones Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a widely accepted procedure that has gained popularity among both bariatric surgeons and patients. There is still limited data in the literature on the formation of gallstones following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, and so the present study determines the incidence of and potential risk factors related to the development of gallstones following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The data of patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at a single center due to morbid obesity between January 2014 and December 2017 was retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.

Findings in Appendectomies with Infection: Pinworm Is Not A Cause of Appendicitis.

Objective: To evaluate the histopathological findings in appendectomy materials with infection.

Methods: Appendectomy materials with infection of 24 cases were evaluated for the presence of acute inflammation, congestion, hemorrhage, perforation, lymphoid hyperplasia (LH), necrosis, granuloma, fecalith, obliteration, hyalinization, eosinophilic infiltration and mucosal architectural distortion.

Results: The frequency of among 3222 appendectomies that were scanned for the study was 0.

Influence of Obesity Surgery on Restless Leg Syndrome.

Objective: To investigate whether restless leg syndrome (RLS) symptoms improved and treatment requirement decreased through weight loss on postoperative follow-ups of the patients who underwent laparoscopic sleave gastrectomy (LSG) due to obesity and who were started medical therapy due to RLS.

Study Design: A descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: General Surgery Outpatient Clinics of Research and Training Hospital of Medical School, Adiyaman, Turkey, from May 2014 to December 2017.

AuraGain and i-Gel laryngeal masks in general anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Performance characteristics and effects on hemodynamics.

  To evaluate and compare the performances of new types of supraglottic airway devices (SADs) with endotracheal intubation regarding their ease of insertions, perioperative complications, and effects on hemodynamic parameters and peak airway pressures in laparascopic cholecystectomy (LC).  Methods: One hundred and fourteen patients with ASA 1-2 physical status scheduled for elective LC were recruited for this prospective randomized controlled trial. The study was completed between January  2016 and January 2017 in Adiyaman University Research and Educational Hospital, Adiyaman, Turkey.

Histopathological Findings in Morbid Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Does H. pylori Infection Effective on Pathological Changes?

Unlabelled: AıM: To determine the prevalence of histopathological findings requiring clinical follow-up in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and evaluate the relationship between these findings and Helicobacter pylori as well as to add more data to the published literature in this regard. MATERıAL AND METHODS: Overall, 161 morbidly obese patients with body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m who underwent LSG between May 1, 2014 and May 31, 2017 were retrospectively included in the study. The findings of the histopathological evaluation of the resected gastric material and the relationship between these findings and histopathologically detected H.

Neutrophil/Lymphocyte and Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratios are Not Different among Breast Cancer Subtypes.

Background: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous complex of diseases comprising different subtypes that have different treatment responses and clinical outcomes. Systemic inflammation is known to be associated with poor prognosis in many types of cancer. The neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are factors used as indicators of inflammation.

The Role of Sleeve Gastrectomy on Preventing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Aim: To investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on HbA1c and serum cortisol levels in morbidly obese patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-nine patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy and whose body mass index was> 40 were included in the present study. Patients' files were reviewed retrospectively.

The effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on morbid obesity and obesity-related comorbidities: A cohort study.

Objective: Bariatric surgery with multidisciplinary management is a more effective method to treat morbid obesity and obesity-related comorbidities compared with nonsurgical treatments. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was initially performed as the first stage of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch in the super-obese population. In the past few years, however, LSG has been performed as a definitive procedure because of its promising early and midterm results.

Comparison of APACHE II, P-POSSUM and SAPS II scoring systems in patients underwent planned laparotomies due to secondary peritonitis.

Background: The first aim of this study was to discuss the factors affecting mortality rate in patients with severe intraabdominal sepsis treated with planned relaparotomy. The second aim was to compare APACHEE II, P-POSSUM and SAPS II scoring systems to allow identification of high-risk patients.

Material And Methods: A series of 34 patients who had intra-abdominal sepsis and treated with planned relaparotomy between January 2009 and January 2012 were included the study.
