Colonic duplication in an adult with chronic constipation: a case report and review of its surgical management.

One of the possible causes of chronic constipation is colonic duplication. Although seldom asymptomatic, its diagnosis is important due to the risk of malignancy that it carries. We present a case of a young female patient with long-standing constipation who was referred to Kolorektal Cerrahi Clinic (Izmir, Turkey) after scans revealed tubular type of colonic duplication.

Evaluation of soil pollution by heavy metal using index calculations and multivariate statistical analysis.

This study aims to assess the extent of heavy metals (HMs) pollution in soil and identify its potential sources using single and integrated pollution index calculations, and multivariate statistical analysis. The HM concentrations of soil samples were analyzed using ICP-MS. The concentrations (mg/kg) of arsenic (As) ranged from 2.

The significance of neutrophil/lympocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio in predicting diabetic polyneuropathy and neuropathic pain severity as inflammatory factors.

Background And Purpose:

Geochemical investigation of soil quality in terms of toxic elements using an AHP-based index.

In this study, a new Ecological Soil Pollution Index (ESPI) and the associated classification system for this index have been proposed to determine the pollution potential of soil. ESPI was designed using eight elements, namely arsenic, lead, cadmium, nickel, copper, zinc, chromium and cobalt. ESPI, calculated based on the AHP method, is categorized into four classes inspired by the recommendation of some international organizations such as World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization.

Effect of Soft Tissue Interposition and Postoperative Suspensory Cortical Button Migration on Functional Outcomes and Ligamentization After Single-Bundle ACL Reconstruction.

Background: Soft tissue interposition between a suspensory cortical button and the lateral femoral condyle is the most common cause of postoperative suspensory cortical button migration in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Purpose: To investigate the effects of soft tissue interposition and suspensory cortical button migration after ACLR on functional outcomes and graft ligamentization.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica-related soft-tissue infection and osteomyelitis: A rare case report.

Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica is a rare pathogen that was first isolated from Wohlfahrtia magnifica, a parasitic fly. It is an uncommon, but an emerging human pathogen reported only in Europe and South America. Until today, it has been reported to be a zoonotic pathogen originating from different geographic locations.

Short-Term Outcomes After Treatment of Isolated Hidden Meniscal Ramp Lesions.

Background: Ramp lesions are encountered in 16% to 24% of all anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures. However, isolated ramp lesions without a ruptured ACL have also been reported.

Purpose: To evaluate outcomes after type 3 hidden ramp lesions without ACL rupture were treated with all-inside sutures passed through the standard anterior portal.

Challenges in Retrorectal Cysts: Is Preoperative Diagnosis Essential?

Developmental cysts are a subgroup of perirectal cysts seen extremely rarely. They have no symptoms in 50% of cases, and mostly occur among middle-aged women. The ratio of male to female is approximately 1/3.

Retrospective Analysis of Primary Suturing of the Internal Orifice of Perianal Fistula During FiLaC Procedure.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the results of the fistula-tract laser closure associated with primary closure of internal orifice.

Materials And Methods: The surgical objective was to seal the fistula tract using laser energy and closing internal orifice with purse-string suture. Between January 2017 and December 2018, 35 consecutive patients who underwent the laser closure plus internal orifice suturing included.

Does Wound Irrigation with Clorhexidine Gluconate Reduce the Surgical Site Infection Rate in Closure of Temporary Loop Ileostomy? A Prospective Clinical Study.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of irrigating the surgical site with 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) on surgical site infection (SSI) in temporary loop ileostomy closure.

Methods: In this observational cohort, patients who underwent diverting loop ileostomy and elective ileostomy closure for any reason between September 2014 and July 2016 were enrolled.

Closing Perianal Fistulas Using a Laser: Long-Term Results in 103 Patients.

Background: Primary closure of the fistula tract using energy emitted by a radial fiber connected to a diode laser is a novel procedure for treating perianal fistulas.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the long-term effectiveness of this new technique.

Design: The surgical objective was to seal the fistula tract using laser energy.

Five years with a rectal foreign body: A case report.

Introduction: Rectal foreign bodies are rare colorectal emergencies. They are important for the complications that may occur. Delayed response causes a wide range of complications or may even result in death.
