We would like to draw attention to the overconsumption of Sorbus domestica and discuss the management options of patients presenting with different symptoms due to phytobezoars.
Material And Methods: Data from patients diagnosed with phytobezoars in the Department of General Surgery from 2010 to 2016 were prospectively collected and evaluated.
Background: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder associated with cardiovascular disease, characterized by a chronic proinflammatory and prothrombotic state. The size and hemostatic potential of circulating platelets (PLTs) differ, with larger PLTs containing more granules and producing greater amounts of vasoactive and prothrombotic factors. This study aimed to investigate the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on PLT count and mean platelet volume (MPV) in morbidly obese patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of melatonin on intestinal anastomosis after intestinal ischemia/ reperfusion injury (IRI).
Methods: Thirty Wistar albino rats of both sexes were divided into 3 groups: sham, control, and treatment. IRI was performed by clamping the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for 30 minutes, followed by reperfusion.
Objective: This study aims to report on scientific production in bariatric surgery (BS).
Background: BS has gained popularity particularly in the last two decades and its indications have extended with the laparoscopic development and the metabolic activity of the surgical treatment. However, there is still little information on scientific production related to BS.

Objective: This study investigated and compared the effects of antibiotic and steroid lavage on survival and cytokine levels in an experimental abdominal sepsis model.
Background: In abdominal sepsis, abdominal lavage with saline or antibiotic solutions is a well-documented intervention known to have positive impact on survival; however, the effects of steroid lavage in abdominal sepsis have not yet been investigated.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-six Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 24).
Background: The present objective was to identify effects of early melatonin application on healing of anastomotic wound and inflammation in an experimental sepsis model.
Methods: A total of 60 Wistar albino rats were divided into 2 groups. Cecal ligation puncture (CLP) and colonic resection anastomosis were performed on both the control group and the melatonin treatment group.

The imaging findings provide that these tumors are differentiated from the other cystic lesions of the pancreas, especially from the chronic pancreatitis, where the treatment protocol is completely different. Therefore, the correct diagnosis and classification of the IPMN ensures that the patient receives the correct approach and the appropriate surgery, if necessary.
