Methods: A total of 107 patients who underwent curative total gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma between September 2015 and September 2018 were included in this study. Demographic characteristics, operative parameters, histopathological results, postoperative morbidity and mortality results of the patients were evaluated.
Background: Periductal mastitis (PM) is a rare disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the terminal mammary ducts. Complete removal of terminal lactiferous ducts with Hadfield procedure is a previously defined technique in treatment but carries various complications risks. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of modified techniques in the treatment of PM.

Methods: Fifty-two patients with FG between January 2011 and September 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Data on clinical presentation, Fournier Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI), CRP ratio, management, and outcome were analyzed.
Aim: This study aims to reveal the results of the transverse fascia inversion technique applied in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) procedure to reduce the risk of seroma in direct hernias.
Marial And Methods: Patients who underwent elective inguinal hernia repair with the laparoscopic TAPP procedure were retrospectively evaluated. Indirect inguinal or femoral hernias and emergency operations were excluded, and only patients with direct or indirect + direct inguinal hernia were included in the study.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the frequency of in appendectomy specimens and evaluate the histopathological characteristics of adult and pediatric cases with infection.
Methods: Appendectomies examined from 1 January 2010, to 1 December 2020, were analysed retrospectively. Cases were divided into two groups: under 18 years (children) and 18 and over (adults).
Aim: Achalasia is a well-known disease among esophageal motility disorders, and all treatments for this disease are aimed at relaxing the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Recently, endoscopic and surgical myotomy techniques are used more frequently because they give better results than other conservative techniques. In this study, we aimed to present the early results of surgical myotomy and anterior fundoplication techniques in the treatment of achalasia-related dysphagia.
