Comparison of the Grades of Fatty Liver Disease With Perioperative Risk Factors in Patients With Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background Obesity is a global healthcare problem, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a commonly observed comorbid disease in the bariatric population. This study evaluated the relationship between NAFLD and various risk factors, including demographic, biochemical, and comorbid conditions in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Material and methods This retrospective data analysis study included patients who underwent LSG between August 2023 and 2024.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gallbladder Polyps: Is It Overtreatment?

Background: The gallbladder polyp (GP) is an accepted risk factor of gallbladder cancer and an indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Generally, the pathologic result of GPs is benign, but it is difficult to distinguish a potential malignancy or a stone without pathological evaluation. This study compared the indication and pathologic result of cholecystectomy performed due to GP in our clinic.

Efficacy of Omentopexy on Complications of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a commonly performed type of bariatric surgery. Early complications of LSG include bleeding, leakage, pulmonary embolism, and surgical site infections. Most surgeons try to implement preventive methods, such as omentopexy.

Recovery from hemorrhoids and anal fissure without surgery.

Background/aims: An anal fissure (AF) is a linear tear in the distal anal canal and is one of the most common causes of anal pain. Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is a symptomatic growth and distal displacement of normal anal cushions. Numerous studies have addressed the contributing factors of these conditions, yet the results remain controversial.

Protective effects of resveratrol on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenolic compound having antioxidant effects. This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of resveratrol against oxidative stress in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. STZ was injected intraperitonally (i.

Ischemic colitis of the colon in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

This study focuses on two inflammatory diseases, viz., "diabetes mellitus (DM)" that causes serious complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, and "ischemic colitis" which is evoked by DM. Ischemic colitis originates from the reduction in mesenteric blood flow to the colon with existence of the occlusive or non-occlusive reasons.

Factors affecting mortality and morbidity in emergency abdominal surgery in geriatric patients.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to determine the factors affecting morbidity and mortality in geriatric patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

Methods: Ninety-two patients who had undergone acute abdominal surgery at >65 years of age were evaluated in terms of surgical indications, morbidity and mortality rates and the factors affecting morbidity and mortality. Forty-eight patients (52.

Extended lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer: a single center experience in Istanbul.

Background/aims: Surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for gastric carcinoma. Western surgeons have recently performed extended operations while Japanese surgeons reported therapeutic value of extended lymphadenectomy (D2, D3) long before. We aimed to observe the benefits and hazards of this procedure.

Grape seed extract treatment reduces hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

This study was designed to determine the possible protective effect of grape seed extract (GSE), a widely used antioxidant dietary supplement, on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Wistar albino rats were subjected to 45 min of hepatic ischemia, followed by a 60 min reperfusion period. GSE was administered in a dose of 50 mg/kg/day orally for 15 days before I/R injury and repeated before the reperfusion period.

Grape seed extract reduces oxidative stress and fibrosis in experimental biliary obstruction.

Background And Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the protective effect of grape seed extract (GSE) against oxidative liver injury and fibrosis induced by biliary obstruction in rats.

Methods: Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups; control (C), GSE-treated, bile duct ligated (BDL), and BDL and GSE-treated (BDL + GSE) groups. GSE was administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg a day orally for 28 days.

Alpha-lipoic acid protects against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Background And Aim: To evaluate the protective effect of alpha-lipoic acid in reducing oxidative damage after severe hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury.

Methods: Wistar albino rats were subjected to 45 min of hepatic ischemia, followed by 60 min reperfusion period. Lipoic acid (100 mg/kg i.
