Background/aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency for educational purposes by evaluating the videos published on YouTube channel, which is an open source video sharing platform, for robotic right hemicolectomy procedure.

Materials And Methods: We searched YouTube website to choose video clips that included information about robotic right hemicolec- tomy for right colon cancer. All videos were analyzed according to the criteria like quality of videos, quality of teaching, and modified Laparoscopic Surgery Video Educational Guidelines.

Biliary Complications in Living Liver Donors After Donor Hepatectomy: A Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: The most frequent postoperative morbidity following living donor liver transplant is biliary complications, which can happen for both anatomical and procedural reasons.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 104 patients who were living liver donors undergoing hepatectomy from January 2011 to April 2022. We evaluated all perioperative finding such as age, sex, remnant liver volume, biliary anatomy, theduration of operation time and hospitalization, and blood loss.

COVID-19 infection frequency and clinical course in patients with liver transplantation: Results of a single transplant center in Türkiye.

Objectives: In this paper, it was tried to determine the incidence of COVID-19, course of the disease, and mortality rate in liver transplant patients by evaluating all patients operated on in our center. In addition, the results of liver transplantation performed in our center during the pandemic period were also presented.

Material And Methods: All patients who had undergone liver transplantation in our liver transplant center were questioned about their history of COVID-19 either at their routine controls in the clinic or by phone interview.

Turkish HPB Surgery Association consensus report on hepatic cystic (HCE).

Objectives: Cystic (CE) is one of the important problems of the Eurasian region. We aimed to prepare a consensus report in order to update the treatment approaches of this disease. This study was conducted by Turkish HPB Surgery Association.

Minimally Invasive Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Similar Morbidity and No Mortality in the Learning Period.

Objectives: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is one of the most challenging operations in gastrointestinal system due to the difficulty of dissection areas and the need for complex reconstruction. The aim of this study is to compare the morbidity, post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF), and mortality rates of the cases we have from the learning period for minimally invasive PD and our previous open PD cases with similar fistula risk scores (FRSs).

Methods: Patients with similar age, ASA score, pre-operative drainage, and FRS were included in the study.
