Factors affecting complications and clinical outcome in patients with Mirizzi syndrome. Single center experience.

Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is a syndrome that causes chronic destructive and fibrotic changes because of compression and inflammation in the main biliary tract. MS remains to be a serious problem due to its high morbidity. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the diagnostic tools, risk factors and clinical output data we apply to our patients with MS in the light of the literature.

Management of hepatic artery trauma during hepato-pancreato-biliary procedures: Evolving approaches, clinical outcomes, and literature review.

Background: One of the most feared complications of surgeons dealing with hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery is hepatic artery (HA) injury. Here, we aimed to evaluate our clinical experience (laceration, transection, ligation, and resection) related to HA traumas, which have serious morbidity and mortality risks, in the light of literature data and the rapidly evolving management methods in recent years.

Methods: The files of 615 patients who were operated on for HPB pathologies in the last decade, in our hospital, were retrospectively reviewed.

Clinical Analysis of Pancreaticoduodenectomies for Benign Pathologies.

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of General Surgery, İzmir Katip Celebi University, School of Medicine, Turkey between January 2015 and June 2020.

Is subtotal cholecystectomy safe and feasible? Short- and long-term results.

Background: Cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. However, it may result in some unpleasant conditions such as bile duct injury (BDI), bile leak, and vessel injury. Subtotal cholecystectomy (SC), which has been introduced as an alternative method for reducing the complication rates, has been reported to have lower risk of BDI when compared to total cholecystectomy.

The Effects of Operation Technique on Recurrence of Incisional Hernia Repair.
