Risk factors for anastomotic complications after elective intestinal resection in Crohn's disease.

Objectives: Anastomotic leaks are the most feared complications after surgery in patients with Crohn's disease. Identifying associated risk factors is crucial for prevention. We aimed to evaluate possible risk factors for anastomotic complications in our case series.

Impact of marmara-yegen cuttıng gastrojejunostomy on delayed gastrıc emptyıng after pancreatoduodenectomy: ınıtıal results.

Background: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is one of the most common reasons for morbidity after pancreatoduodenectomy. The technical characteristics of anastomosis that could be affected by surgeon may offer a relevant chance to improve postoperative DGE rates. We investigated the effect of a technical modification of gastrojejunostomy after the classical pancreaticoduodenectomy on DGE.

Gastrıc cancer surgery in elderly patients: promising results from a mid-western population.

Backgrounds: Extended resection for gastric cancer in elderly patients is still challenging for surgeons. This study aimed to evaluate the prognosis and the postoperative outcomes of elderly patients underwent gastric cancer surgery in a high-volume center.

Methods: The medical records of patients with gastric cancer surgery at Marmara University Hospital's General Surgery Department were examined retrospectively.

Evaluation of Colonoscopic Results of Patients with Incidental Colonic FDG Uptake in PET/CT Imaging.

Background: Colorectal cancer is a significant global health concern, ranking as the second most deadly and third most common cancer worldwide. Early detection and removal of precancerous lesions play a crucial role in preventing cancer development and reducing mortality. Since FDG uptake is not specific for malignancy, incidental increased FDG uptake in the gastrointestinal tract may be challenging to interpret and may require further colonoscopic examination.

Optimal waiting period to surgical treatment after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectum cancer: a retrospective observational study.

Background: The optimal waiting period after neoadjuvant treatment in patients with locally advanced rectal cancers is still controversial. The literature has different results regarding the effect of waiting periods on clinical and oncological outcomes. We aimed to investigate the effects of these different waiting periods on clinical, pathological, and oncological outcomes.

Fecal Occult Blood Test, Is it still worth for Colorectal Cancer Screening?

Introduction: One of the most critical factors determining survival in terms of colorectal cancers is diagnosis and treatment at an early stage. Diagnosis at an early stage is possible with screening programs carried out within preventive health services. In this study, we aimed to compare the results of patients who underwent colonoscopy due to fecal occult blood test (FOBT) positivity with those over 50 years of age who underwent colonoscopy with other complaints and to reveal whether FOBT test is still essential for screening programs.

Gastric Cancer Surgery During the Pandemic: What It Costs?

Background: From the early days of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to change whole life all around the world. Oncological patients are the most affected populations since these days. Because of decreasing numbers in surgery and endoscopy, gastric cancer patients had difficulties in treatment and diagnoses.

Perforated colorectal cancers: clinical outcomes of 18 patients who underwent emergency surgery.

Introduction: Although colon cancer perforations are rare among acute abdominal syndromes, it is a clinical picture with high mortality that requires urgent treatment.

Aim: In this study, the clinical results of patients who were operated in emergency conditions due to colorectal cancer perforation were evaluated.

Material And Methods: The data of 18 patients treated for colorectal cancer perforation in our clinic between February 2014 and February 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.

Comparison of negative-pressure incision management system in wound dehiscence: A prospective, randomized, observational study.

Wound dehiscence is a significant problem faced by surgeons after major abdominal surgery. In this study, it was aimed to select the best incision management system to keep the incision edges together and prevent wound opening, and infection by protecting the incision. In this study, 60 patients who underwent abdominal surgery were evaluated regarding their risk of wound dehiscence.

25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels and bone mineral density evaluation in patients with cholecystectomy: a case-control study.

Unlabelled: This study compared the 25-hyrdoxyvitamin (OH) D and bone mineral density (BMD) values of patients with and without cholecystectomy. Although 25(OH) D levels were significantly lower in the cholecystectomy group (12.1 ± 6.

Evaluation of the patients with colorectal cancer undergoing emergent curative surgery.

Background: The aim of our study is to evaluate perioperative and mid-term oncologic outcomes of the patients with colorectal cancer, who underwent emergent curative surgery.

Methods: The study included all patients with colorectal cancer, who underwent surgery for curative intent between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2014 in General Surgery Department of Kartal Training and Research Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups according to the type of admission (emergent or elective).

Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume can be a predictor for severity of acute appendicitis.

Background: Early diagnosis of perforation in acute appendicitis (AA) allows surgeons to select the most appropriate treatment. The aim of the present study was to determine whether preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) could predict perforation in AA.

Methods: Data collected from 413 consecutive patients with AA and 100 healthy controls were analyzed retrospectively.

Donor Contraindications to Living Kidney Donation: A Single-Center Experience.

Objective: Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice in end-stage renal disease. In Turkey, the inadequate cadaveric donor supply has resulted in transplantation from living kidney donors (LKD) in 80% of transplant operations. LKD candidates undergo a thorough general medical evaluation and are approved to donate their kidneys only if no contraindication is found.

A Simple Method to Evaluate Whether Pancreas Texture Can Be Used to Predict Pancreatic Fistula Risk After Pancreatoduodenectomy.

Introduction: Soft pancreas is one of the most important risk factor for postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pancreatic attenuation index utilized to assess the pancreatic texture with computed tomography can be used to predict the risk of developing a clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Methods: We reviewed 76 consecutive patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy between 2012 and 2014.
