    The effect of stump ligation techniques on operative time in laparoscopic appendectomy
    (20 haziran 2021) Kutluer, Nizamettin; Aksu, Ali; Kanat, Burhan Hakan; Aday, Ulaş; Böyük, Abdullah; Doğan, Serhat
    Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the effect of stump ligation techniques on operative time in laparoscopic appendectomy. Material and methods: The patients who underwent laparoscopic appen dectomy in our General Surgery Clinic between January 2016 and August 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The effects of stump ligation tech niques used in the operations on operative times were evaluated. Results: Sixty consecutive patients were screened and 3 groups, 20 patients in each group, were formed based on stump ligation techniques. Extracor poreal knotting – loop ligation was used in Group 1; intracorporeal knotting was used in the Group 2; hem-o-lok clip was used in Group 3.There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of gender distribution and mean age. However, there was a significant difference be tween the hem-o-lok clip group (Group III) and the intracorporeal knot group (Group II) in terms of operative time. Group III had a shorter operative time. The Group III patients had the shortest operative time, while the Group II patients had the longest operative time (p < 0.05). Conclusions: We can speculate that hem-o-lok clip among the stump liga tion techniques reduces the cost, is a safe method and shortens the opera tive time. However, prospective randomized studies with a large sample size comparing different techniques are needed to determine the ideal treat ment procedure. At the same time, stapler use may be considered in cases where the base of the appendix is too inflamed or necrosed. It is known that the use of a stapler and endoloop is more expensive than all other tech niques. However, the most important issue for the surgeon is patient safety; therefore the most appropriate technique should be preferred.

    Giant Fibroadenomas in Young Women
    (Galenos Yayinevi, 2020-06-09) Kanat, Burhan Hakan; Kutluer, Nizamettin; Arslan Solmaz, Özgen; Bozdağ, Pınar
    Objectives: In this study, we consider a fibroadenoma with a size >5 cm as a giant fibroadenoma (GFA). This definition is not universally acceptedbut has been used in several studies. We retrospectively presented fibroadenoma cases that were treated in our clinic, together with a review of thecurrent literature.Materials and Methods: The GFA cases that were surgically treated in our clinic between January 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectivelyreviewed. The data were collected from patient files, discharge reports, surgical notes, pathology reports, patient follow-up forms, and digitalrecords. Patients whose data were not fully available were excluded from the study. The patients were analyzed in terms of age, duration ofsymptom, macroscopically size of the mass and location.Results: Eight patients were analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 31.5±5.8 (23-41) years. The mean time of diagnosis before the operationwas 36.75±14.49 (18-60) months. The lesion was in the left breast for five patients (62.5%) and in the right breast for three patients (37.5%). Themean size of fibroadenomas was 52.5±2 (50-56) mm.Conclusion: There is not a consensus in the ideal treatment protocol of GFAs. A careful physical examination and radiological examination aresufficient for diagnosis, but a biopsy will be beneficial in the context of a GFA. We think that excision should be done in the treatment of GFAs.

    Have malignancy rates increased in thyroidectomy cases
    (27 mart 2021) KANAT, Burhan Hakan; Çay, Ferhat; Kutluer, Nizamettin; Aksoy, Nurullah; BOZAN, Mehmet Buğra; Arslan Solmaz, Özgen; KARACA KARAGÖZ, Zühal; İrtegün, Sinan; Aydın, Yusuf
    ntroduction: This study aims to review thyroidectomy cases performed by a single surgeon in a single centre during the course of 1 year, to determine if the malignancy rate increased, and to compare the results with the liter ature. Material and methods: We retrospectively evaluated data of patients who underwent thyroidectomy between August 2018 and August 2019 in the General Surgery Clinic of our hospital. The malignancy rate was calculated and analysed according to the demographic data of the patients (gender and age), preoperative thyroid nodule sizes, and postoperative pathological mass sizes. Also, age, preoperative nodule size, and tumour size were all evaluated according to gender. Results: There were a total of 60 patients (14 (23%) male and 46 (77%) fe male). The pathology result revealed 16 (26.7%) malignant and 44 (73.3%) benign biopsies. The mean age was 46.72 ±12.08 years (20–74). We found that age, preoperative nodule size (cm), pathological tumour size (cm), and thyroid function tests were not significantly associated with malignancy. However, when age, preoperative nodule size, and tumour sizes were evalu ated according to gender, it was found that tumour sizes were significantly larger in men than in women (p < 0.001). In addition, the mean age of male patients was higher than that of women (p = 0.025). Conclusions: The malignancy rate has increased in the thyroidectomies per formed in our centre. This finding is consistent with relevant studies from the last 30 years. Therefore, it is likely that clinicians will continue to handle an increased number of thyroid malignancies

    Is body mass index and obesity surgery mortality score important in perioperative complications of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy before discharge?
    (Colegio Brasileiro de Cirurgia Digestiva, 2021) Bozan, Mehmet Buğra; Kutluer, Nizamettin; Aksu, Ali; Azak Bozan, Ayşe; Kanat, Burhan Hakan; Büyük, Abdullah
    Background: Morbid obesity surgery and related complications have increased with time. Aim: To evaluate the relationship between perioperative complications before discharge and preoperative body mass index and obesity surgery mortality score in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Method: 1617 patients who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were examined in terms of demographic data, presence of comorbidities, whether there were complications or not, type of complications and obesity surgery mortality score. Results: Complications were seen in 40 patients (2.5%) and mortality wasn’t seen in the early postoperative period before discharge. The mean age of patients with complications was 36.3±10.02 years (19-57) and without complications 34.12±9.54 (15–64) years. The preoperative mean BMI values of patients with and without complications were 45.05±3.93 (40–57) kg/m2 and 44.8±3.49 (35–67) kg/m2 respectively. According to BMI groups 40–45 kg/m2, 45–50 kg/m2 and 50 and over, there was not any statistical significance seen in three groups in terms of complication positivity and major-minor complication rates. There was not any statistical significance seen between the patients with and without major-minor complications and obesity surgery mortality score. Conclusion: There was not any relation between perioperative laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy complication rates before discharge and BMI and obesity surgery mortality scores.

    Use of silver nitrate application as mini-invasive treatment of pilonidal sinus disease
    (Editura Celsius, 2021) Kanat, Burhan Hakan; Yazar, Fatih Mehmet; Kutluer, Nizamettin; Solmaz, Özgen Arslan; Bozan, Mehmet Buğra; Çay, Ferhat; Eröz, Erhan; Saçlı, Atakan
    Objective: To investigate the cure rate and adverse effects of silver nitrate application for treatment of pilonidal sinus disease (PSD). Methods: Number of sinus pit orifices, and complications with silver nitrate application and debridement for sacrococcygeal PSD between January 2015 and July 2018 were analyzed in this retrospective study. Data were obtained from surgical, discharge, and outpatient follow-up records. Among 56 patients who were treated with silver nitrate stick, 11 patients with incomplete hospital records were excluded from the study. Demographic data including age, gender, length of follow-up, number of silver nitrate applications, number of involved sinuses and recurrence and complication rates were recorded. Results were expressed as frequencies, means, and range of values. The Mann Whitney U and chi square tests were used to evaluate significance. Results: Mean age was 24.3 ± 5.18 (range, 14-36) years, and recurrence occurred in 4 (8.9%) patients. Complications developed in 10 (22.2%) patients and included abscess, erythema, and necrosis in 5 (11.1%), 2 (4.4%), and 3 (6.6%) patients, respectively. The recurrence rate was significantly higher in patients who developed abscesses during the follow-up period (p = 0.001) than those who did not. There was no statistically significant correlation between the recurrence rate and number of sinuses or the number of silver nitrate applications. Conclusion: Low morbidity and high healing rates achieved with silver nitrate provide support for this application as a feasible and effective conservative outpatient treatment for PSD in certain patients.
