Gossypiboma mimicking hepatic hydatid cyst after 22 years: a case report.

Gossypiboma is a non-absorbable material that is forgotten during surgery. These are medicolegal pathology that leads to diagnostic confusion from abscess to tumor. We present the case of gossypiboma detected in laparotomy in a 57-year-old male patient who had a history of operation due to a hydatid cyst 22 years ago and was referred to our center due to hydatid recurrence.

Early results of conservative and surgical approach in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Perforations Single center experience.

Introduction: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) ± endoscopic sphincterotomy, and after perforation (ERCP-P), which is a common method used for the diagnosis in the past and treatment today in hepatopancreatobiliary cases, is a rare complication with high mortality. While surgery has been at the forefront in perforations after ERCP in previous years, conservative treatment is widely accepted today, except for some special conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of ERCP-P in a hepatobiliary center, the outcome of the treatment modalities applied, and the risk factors for mortality due to perforations.

Portal vein injury following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: A case report.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been a widely used procedure in the diagnosis and treatment of various pancreaticobiliary disorders. Although widely considered a safe procedure, ERCP is associated morbidity and occasional mortality. The most common complications include acute pancreatitis, hemorrhage, and duodenal perforation.

What has changed in the last 20 years in the postoperative specimen findings of the papillary thyroid cancer cases? A retrospective analysis.

Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the changes in surgical approaches and histopathological evaluation of the tumor according to years of patients who were operated on with the diagnosis of thyroid papillary cancer (PTC) in our center in the last 20 years.

Material And Methods: The records of the cases who underwent thyroidectomy in our department were divided into four groups of five years each and analyzed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, surgical procedures, presence of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, histopathological features of tumour and hospital stay of the cases in the groups were evaluated.

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas: Is there a factor determining the prognosis? Experience of a single institution.

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) are frequently seen in young women. Although the behavior pattern varies, these rare lesions generally have a low malignant potential. In this study, the aim was to investigate the effect of clinicopathological features of lesions on the recurrence in and survival of patients.

Routine Use of Prophylactic Antibiotics during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Does Not Reduce the Risk of Surgical Site Infections.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard for the treatment of symptomatic gallbladder stones. As infections are rare in uncomplicated LC, it is widely accepted that prophylactic antibiotics need not be administered, and guidelines do not support routine antibiotic prophylaxis during elective LC. However, routine antibiotic prophylaxis for elective LC is still popular in many clinical settings.

Prevention and acute management of biliary injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Expert consensus statement.

Gallstone disease is very common and laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures all over the world. Parallel to the increase in the number of laparoscopic cholecystectomies, bile duct injuries also increased. The reported incidence of bile duct injuries ranges from 0.

A Mimicker of Gallbladder Carcinoma: Cystic Gastric Heterotopia with Intestinal Metaplasia.

Heterotopic gastric mucosa in the gallbladder is an unusual entity and is usually clinically silent. We report a 75-year-old female patient who presented with intermittent upper abdomial pain radiating to the back. Abdominal imaging studies showed a sessile polypoid lesion and a gallstone in the gallbladder.

Gallbladder polyps: factors affecting surgical decision.

Aim: To determine the factors affecting the decision to perform surgery, and the efficiency of ultrasonography (USG) in detecting gallbladder polyps (GP).

Methods: Data for 138 patients who underwent cholecystectomy between 1996 and 2012 in our clinic with a diagnosis of GP were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data, clinical presentation, principal symptoms, ultrasonographic and histopathological findings were evaluated.

The role of diffusion-weighted MRI in the classification of liver hydatid cysts and differentiation of simple cysts and abscesses from hydatid cysts.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in the classification of liver hydatid cysts (HCs) and their differentiation from simple cysts and liver abscesses.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-two patients that were sent to our department with preliminary diagnoses of HCs or abscess were included in the study. Thirty lesions were evaluated.

Nutritional risk of hospitalized patients in Turkey.

Background & Aims: We conducted a multicentre study to assess nutritional risk at hospital admission, hospital-associated iatrogenic malnutrition and the status of nutritional support in Turkish hospitals.

Methods: A database which allowed for online submission of hospital and patient data was developed. A nutritional risk screening system (NRS-2002) was applied to all patients and repeated weekly in patients with hospital stays greater than one week and no invasive procedures.

[Cystic echinococcosis in Turkey from 2001-2005].

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by the metacestode form of Echinococcus granulosus is a major public health problem especially in animal-raising regions of the world. In the present study, CE cases were determined during 2001-2005 by investigating different hospital and health directorship documents and Health Ministry documents, retrospectively. Our results show that there were 2534 (13.

Influence of rate and volume of infusion on the kinetics of 0.9% saline and 7.5% saline/6.0% dextran 70 in sheep.

Unlabelled: We examined whether volume kinetic variables obtained during infusion of a short bolus of 0.9% saline (NS) or 7.5% saline/6.

The decline in serum choline concentration in humans during and after surgery is associated with the elevation of cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin and beta-endorphin concentrations.

Serum choline concentrations decrease during and after surgery. We undertook this study to determine whether the decrease of choline is associated with an increase in stress hormones. In 16 patients undergoing abdominal surgery with general anesthesia, circulating choline cortisol, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and -endorphin levels were measured before, during and after surgery.
