BACKGROUND: Bezoars are indigestible lumps which are usually found in stomach. Types of bezoar include phytobezoar, trichobezoar, lithobezoar, pharmacobezoar, plasticobezoar, lactobezoar and metal bezoar. Trichobezoars mostly affect females in 20s and 30s with a rarity in paediatrics. Unexplained complaints with a palpable mass are commonly found in these patients. Treatment involves retrieval of mass with searching for others. The purpose of this study was to present data and surgical management of cases with trichobezoars...

Previous reports describing laparoscopic deroofing as a management modality for a hepatic cyst with biliary communication remain limited. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman who was monitored for 4 years for a giant hepatic cyst in the right lobe of the liver. She presented to our department with a chief complaint of abdominal distension. Moreover, imaging revealed a 24-cm giant hepatic cyst. During laparoscopic deroofing, minimal bile leakage from the intra-cyst wall was observed, which was laparoscopically closed with sutures...

A direct sliding inguinal hernia descends through the superficial inguinal ring and encroaches on nearby organ structures, such as the bladder. This type of hernia is rare with a 2-5% incidence and occurs due to a weakness within the lower abdominal wall, usually associated with advancing age, that permits the distal colon to descend into the inguinal canal. Direct sliding inguinal hernias are a rare subset of inguinal hernias that require meticulous dissection due to their incorporation of nearby organs such as the bladder or colon...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Serdar Senol, Servet Karagul
The hemidouble stapler technique (HDST) in laparoscopic intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy has aspects that pose risks to the safety of the anastomosis. We developed a new esophagojejunostomy technique that converts a double-stapled anastomosis to a single-stapled anastomosis in laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG). The aim of this study is to compare the results of two techniques. Patients who underwent LTG for gastric cancer in our hospital between October 2016 and May 2022 were included in the study. Patients were retrospectively reviewed in two groups: those who underwent HDST and the ghosting double stapling technique (GDST)...

BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoids are conventionally associated with increased postoperative infection risk. It is necessary to clarify if preoperative glucocorticoid exposure is associated with postoperative infection in appendectomy patients and if the association is different for open and laparoscopic appendectomies. METHODS: A Danish nationwide study of appendectomy patients between 1996 and 2018. Exposures were defined as high (≥ 5 mg) versus no/low (< 5 mg) glucocorticoid exposure in milligram prednisone-equivalents/day preoperatively...
