Comparison of clinical outcomes of robotic-assisted and video-assisted esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.

Introduction: Robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is a recently developed technique for the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer. The present study compares the outcomes of RAMIE and video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (VATE).

Method: Patients undergoing minimally invasive esophageal surgery between December 2020 and September 2022 were included in the study, while those undergoing conventional surgery were excluded.

Short-term surgical outcomes of robotic gastrectomy. A single center/single surgeon experience.

Aim: Surgical resection is considered the optimum approach to the treatment of gastric cancer. The present study evaluates the efficacy of robotic surgery for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Method: Included in the study were 30 patients who underwent robotic surgery for gastric cancer at the General Surgery Clinic between July 2021 and 2022.

An early experience with the Da Vinci Xi surgical system in colorectal surgery. A single-center study.

Aim: Surgery is the optimum treatment approach in cases of colorectal cancer, with open or minimally invasive surgery options applied to patients in general surgery clinics. We present here an assessment of our use of robotic colorectal surgery for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Method: The outcomes of robotic colorectal surgeries performed in the General Surgery Clinic of Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital were evaluated.

Femoral artery aneurysm developed on intimal sarcoma: Case report.

Intimal angiosarcoma is a rare vascular malignancy, and diagnosis is very difficult due to nonspecific symptoms. There are controversial points regarding the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of intimal angiosarcomas. The purpose of this case report was to evaluate the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient diagnosed with femoral artery intimal angiosarcoma.

Does being a refugee affect prognosis in patients who underwent surgery due to peptic ulcer perforation?

Background: Although Turkey hosts the largest number of Syrian immigrants, the interpretation of their health problems seems to be inadequate and understudied. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether being a refugee is a prognostic factor or not for peptic ulcer perforation (PUP).

Methods: A retrospective study was designed in Turkish Citizen patients and the refugees to compare the prognosis who underwent surgery for PUP.

Elbow AVF configurations and indications.

Introduction: Brescia-Cimino radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) remains the first-choice vascular access procedure for patients in need of long-term hemodialysis. The average life expectancy of patients receiving hemodialysis has increased in recent years and many patients now live longer and require secondary or tertiary procedures. Elbow fistulas should only rarely be constructed as primary fistulas.
