    (Mdpi, 2024) Gul, Mehmet Onur; Akcicek, Mehmet; Iflazoglu, Nidal; Corbaci, Kadir; Emir, Cuma Ali; Guzel, Mehmet; Parsak, Cem Kaan
    (1) Background: In our study, we aimed to determine the accuracy rates of imaging methods for sigmoid, rectosigmoid colon, and rectum cancer. (2) Methods: Patients with tumors located in the rectosigmoid colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum who were operated on were included. Upon admission, we examined the patients' first diagnostic colonoscopies and their preoperative repeat control colonoscopies and computed tomography (CT) report. (3) Results: In this study, 23 patients (57.5%) were male. The overall accuracy rates were 80.0% (32/40) in colonoscopy, 65.0% (26/40) in preoperative CT, and 87.5% (35/40) in retro CT, and the differences among the examination methods were statistically significant (p = 0.049). The sensitivity levels decreased to 50.0% for colonoscopy and preoperative CT and 75.0% for retro CT in rectosigmoid colon tumors. In rectal tumors, the sensitivity levels were 75.0% in colonoscopy, 60.0% in preoperative CT, and 80.0% in retro CT. In two patients, the tumor location was given incorrectly, and postoperative pathological evaluations indicated T3N0 tumors; the initially planned treatment was thus changed to include radiotherapy in addition to chemotherapy in the postoperative period because the tumor was located in the middle rectum. (4) Conclusions: Accuracy in tumor localization in sigmoid, rectosigmoid, and rectum tumors still needs to be improved, which could be accomplished with prospective studies. CT evaluations for cancer localization in this patient group should be re-evaluated by a radiologist.

    Early relaparotomy in recipients after living donor liver transplantation: causes, risk factors, and consequences
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2024) Barut, Bora; Ceylan, Cengiz; Zengin, Akile; Guzel, Mehmet; Dalda, Yasin; Yilmaz, Sezai
    Background/aim: Despite advancements in surgical methodologies and the extensive perioperative and postoperative care administered to recipients, the prevalence of complications requiring early relaparotomy following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) remains persistent. This study sought to analyze the determinants influencing relaparotomy occurrences in the initial 30 days following LDLT. Additionally, it was aimed to evaluate the impact of early laparotomy on both graft and patient survival within this distinct patient cohort. Materials and methods: The study encompassed recipients (n = 535) aged 18 years and older who underwent primary LDLT at our institution from January 2019 to December 2021. Exclusion criteria involved patients necessitating early retransplantation. Early relaparotomy was specified as surgical intervention within the initial 30 days following LDLT. Results: The study enrolled a total of 535 patients, among whom 85 (15.9%) underwent early relaparotomy. The median age of the patients was 54 (range: 41-60) years, with a predominant male representation (66.2%). Univariate analysis comparing the laparotomy and nonrelaparotomy groups revealed statistically significant differences in the creatinine (p = 0.043) and sodium (p = 0.025) levels, graft side (p < 0.001), etiology (p = 0.005), and blood loss (p = 0.012). In the multivariate analysis, creatinine (p = 0.039; OR = 1.668; 95% CI = 1.027-2.709) and left lobe graft (p < 0.0001; OR = 3.611; 95% CI = 1.960-6.652) emerged as independent risk factors for relaparotomy. Conclusion: The primary causes of early relaparotomy following LDLT include postoperative bleeding, biliary leakage, and vascular complications. Preoperative elevation in creatinine and sodium levels, the presence of Budd-Chiari syndrome, utilization of a left lobe graft, and intraoperative blood loss are identified as risk factors associated with early relaparotomy after LDLT. Patients undergoing early relaparotomy exhibit inferior survival rates compared to those who do not.

    A new model for prediction of bowel gangrene in sigmoid volvulus
    (Turkish Assoc Trauma Emergency Surgery, 2023) Ceylan, Cengiz; Baran, Necip Tolga; Kocaaslan, Huseyin; Gungorur, Omer; Cengiz, Emrah; Guzel, Mehmet; Angin, Yavuz Selim
    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. In the analysis of the data, independent risk factors were determined by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyzes as well as Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed for statistically significant continuous numerical data, and cutoff values were determined and Malatya Volvulus Gangrene Model (MVGM) was created. The effectiveness of the created model was again evaluated by ROC analysis.RESULTS: Of the 74 patients included in the study, 59 (79.7%) were male. The median age of the population was 74 (19-88), and gangrene was detected in 21 (28.37%) patients at surgery. In univariate analyzes, leukocytes <4000/mm3 and >12000/mm3 (OR: 10.737; CI 95%: 2.797-41.211, p=0.001), CRP >= 0.71 mg/dl (OR: 8.107 CI 95%: 2.520-26.082, p<0.0001), potassium >= 3.85 mmoL/L (OR: 3.889; 95% CI): 1.333-11.345, p=0.013), and LDH >= 288 U/L (OR: 3.889; CI 95%: 1.333-11.345, p=0.013), whereas, in multivariate analyzes, only CRP >= 0.71 mg/dL (OR: 3.965; CI 95%: 1.071-15.462, p=0.047) was found to be an independent risk factor for bowel gangrene. The strength of MVGM was AUC 0.836 (0.737-0.936). In addition, it was observed that the probability of bowel gangrene increased approximately 10 times if MVGM was >= 7 (OR: 9.846; 95% CI: 3.016-32.145, p<0.0001).CONCLUSION: Besides being non-invasive compared to the colonoscopic procedure, MVGM is a useful method for detecting bowel gangrene. In addition, it will guide the clinician in taking the patients with intestinal loop gangrene to emergency surgery without wasting time in the treatment steps, as well as avoiding complications that may occur during colonoscopy. In this way, we think that morbidity and mortality rates can be reduced.
