JOURNAL ARTICLE
Gökhan Sert, Ahmet Hamdi Sakarya
BACKGROUND: The continuous open-loop technique accelerates anastomosis and eliminates the risk of inadvertently catching the back wall, which is the primary cause of technical failure when using interrupted sutures in microsurgical anastomosis. Combined with airborne suture tying, the total anastomosis time is significantly reduced. We conducted an experimental and clinical study to compare this combination to the conventional technique. METHODS: Experimentally, anastomoses were performed on the femoral arteries (0...

BACKGROUND: Sigmoid volvulus is a pathology that can be mortal because it is frequently encountered in elderly patients. In case of bowel gangrene, mortality and morbidity increase further. We planned a retrospective study, in which the effectiveness of the model was evaluated by creating a model that aims to predict whether intestinal gangrene is present in patients with sigmoid volvulus only by blood tests and thus to quickly guide treatment methods. METHODS: In addition to demographic data such as age and gender, laboratory values such as white blood cell, C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), potassium, and colonoscopic findings and whether there was gangrene in the colon during the operation were evaluated retrospectively...

BACKGROUND: Supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHFs) are the most common types of elbow fractures in children. Closed reduction percutaneous pinning (CRPP) is the primary surgical treatment of SCHFs. In cases that cannot be managed with closed reduction, treatment with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is necessary. We aimed to compare CRPP and ORIF through a posterior approach regarding clinical and functional outcomes in pediatric SCHF cases. METHODS: Patients with Gartland type III SCHF who underwent CRPP or ORIF with posterior approach at our clinic between January 2013 and December 2016 were included in this retrospective study...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are rarely seen and they are usually diagnosed in the neonatal period. Congenital diaphragmatic de-fect, also known as Bochdalek hernia, usually occurs with the persistence of the pleuroperitoneal canal in the left posterolateral region of the diaphragm in the embryological period. Although it is rarely seen in the adults, conditions such as intestinal volvulus, strangulation, or perforation with congenital diaphragm defect progress with high mortality and morbidity. In this study, we reported our case that we operated for intrathoracic gastric perforation with congenital diaphragmatic defect...

BACKGROUND: Subdural empyemas (SDEs) are rare intracranial infections mostly secondary to sinusitis. Incidence of SDEs is 5-25%. Interhemispheric SDEs are even rarer, which makes their diagnosis and treatment difficult. Aggressive surgical interventions and wide-spectrum antibiotics are needed for treatment. In this retrospective clinical study, we intended to evaluate the results of surgical management supported by antibiotics in patients with interhemispheric SDE. METHODS: Clinical and radiological features, medical and surgical management and outcomes of 12 patients treated for interhemi-spheric SDE have been evaluated...

Traumatic asphyxia, which is manifested by facial edema, cyanosis, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and petechiae on the upper chest and abdomen, is a very rare clinical syndrome in children. In adults, the incidence of traumatic asphyxia was reported as 1 case/18,500 accidents, but the actual incidence is not known for pediatric population. Traumatic asphyxia is a mechanical cause of hypoxia resulting from sudden compression of the thoracic-abdominal region and the valsalva maneuver is necessary for the development of this syn-drome...

BACKGROUND: Patients operated under emergency conditions have a higher risk of death and complications than those per-formed under elective conditions. Especially the patient group with high comorbidity needs to be evaluated more specifically. Accord-ing to the surgical risk and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scoring, the perioperative risk should be determined quickly, and the relatives of the patients should be informed. This study aimed to evaluate the factors affecting mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery...

BACKGROUND: Burns are a global health problem, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The use of models to predict mortality is more common in developed countries. In northern Syria, internal unrest has continued for 10 years. A lack of infrastruc-ture and difficult living conditions increase the incidence of burns. This study in northern Syria contributes to the predictions of health services provided in conflict regions. The first objective of this study specific to northwestern Syria was to assess and identify risk factors in the burn victim population hospitalized as emergencies...
