The study aims to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic CME for patients with right colon cancer and 5-year survival rates examined to determine the outcomes. Patients who underwent CME for right-sided colon cancer between 2014 and 2021 were included in this study.

Application of Low Temperature Processed 0-3 Composite Piezoelectric Thick Films in Flexible, Non-planar, High Frequency Ultrasonic Devices.

Low-temperature, flexible, 0-3 composite piezoelectric materials can decrease the size, cost, and complexity of high-frequency acoustic devices on temperature sensitive substrates such as those in catheter based ultrasonic devices and acoustooptic sensors. In this paper, the application of low-temperature 0-3 connected composite thick films in flexible, non-planar, high frequency ultrasonic devices is reported. A flexible high-frequency ultrasound transducer and an acousto-optic radio-frequency (RF) field sensor are demonstrated utilizing PZT-based composite thick films.

We aimed to evaluate obstetric and perinatal outcomes among young women who became clinically pregnant after single & double blastocyst transfer.

Material-method: 545 women under 35 years who became clinically pregnant after fresh blastocyst transfer was evaluated retrospectively.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle success in patients under 35 years old with diminished ovarian reserve plus severe male factor.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes in young patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) plus severe male factor (SMF) compared with age-matched controls with DOR.

Study Design: A total of 189 infertile women under 35 years with DOR undergoing ICSI procedures were included retrospectively. Participants whose partners' sperm analysis was normal considered as the DOR group (n = 154) and whose partners' had SMF considered as the DOR + SMF group (n = 35).

Optimizing the Personalized Care for the Management of Rectal Cancer: A Consensus Statement.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in Turkey. The current guidelines do not provide sufficient information to cover all aspects of the management of rectal cancer. Although treatment has been standardized in terms of the basic principles of neoadjuvant, surgical, and adjuvant therapy, uncertainties in the management of rectal cancer may lead to significant differences in clinical practice.

Evaluation of bilateral acromiohumeral distance on magnetic resonance imaging and radiography in patients with unilateral rotator cuff tears.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference in the acromiohumeral distance (AHD) between the shoulders with full-thickness rotator cuff tear and contralateral healthy shoulders of the same patients on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiograph.

Materials And Methods: We included 49 patients with unilateral full-thickness rotator cuff tears. The mean age of the patients (29 women and 20 men) was 54.

Minimally invasive versus open surgery for gastric cancer in Turkish population.

Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to compare short-term outcomes of minimally invasive and open surgery for gastric cancer in the Turkish population carrying both European and Asian characteristics.

Material And Methods: Short-term (30-day) outcomes of the patients undergoing minimally invasive and open gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenec- tomy for gastric adenocarcinoma between January 2013 and December 2017 were compared. Patient demographics, history of previous abdominal surgery, comorbidities, short-term perioperative outcomes and histopathological results were evaluated between the study groups.

Ileal Pouch Excision can Be Performed With Similar Outcomes in Obese Patients Compared to Nonobese Counterparts: An Assessment From American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.

Background: Failed pouches may tend to be managed with only a loop ileostomy in obese patients due to some safety concerns. The effect of obesity on ileal pouch excision outcomes is poorly studied. In our study, we aimed to assess the short-term outcomes after ileal pouch excision in obese patients compared to their nonobese counterparts.

Does Obesity Impact Surgical and Pathological Outcomes in Robotic Complete Mesocolic Excision for Colon Cancer?

Obesity is one of the contributing factors to technical difficulties in minimally invasive colorectal surgery. However, there are no data regarding the outcomes for obese patients undergoing robotic complete mesocolic excision (CME) for colon cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether robotic CME in obese patients can be performed with similar morbidity and pathological results compared with nonobese patients.

Robotic complete mesocolic excision for transverse colon cancer can be performed with a morbidity profile similar to that of conventional laparoscopic colectomy.

Background: In minimally invasive surgery, complete mesocolic excision (CME) for transverse colon cancer is challenging; thus, non-CME resections are commonly preferred when laparoscopy is used. Robotic technology has been developed to reduce the limitations of laparoscopy. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether robotic CME for transverse colon cancer can be performed with short-term outcomes similar to those of laparoscopic conventional colectomy (CC).
