    (Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2023) Katrancioglu, Ozgur; Akkas, Yucel; Sahin, Ekber; Demir, Fatmagul; Katrancioglu, Nurkay
    Background: This study aims to investigate the prevalence of chest deformity in middle- and high-school students in Sivas province of Turkey, to identify the risk factors associated with the psychological and physical disorders caused by the deformity, and to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment guidance by increasing awareness of this problem. Methods: Between October 2011 and May 2012, a total of 15,862 students (8,508 males, 7,354 females; mean age: 15.9 +/- 1.3 years; range, 12 to 19 years) from public schools were included. A number of schools were randomly selected for study, and the students were screened by physical examination. A study protocol was developed in which patients with deformities were questioned about family history and symptoms. Results: Chest wall deformity was detected in a total of 250 students (1.6%). The prevalence rates of pectus carinatum and pectus excavatum in the children were 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively. The overall prevalence of chest wall deformity was 1.6%. Conclusion: Chest wall deformity is more common in boys and pectus carinatum is the most common deformity type. Chest wall deformity is more common in the 15-16 age group and female sex is a risk factor for psychological discomfort.

    Is intraoperative embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate an alternative option in carotid body tumors surgery? A case report
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Katrancioglu, Nurkay; Serhatlioglu, Faruk; Katrancioglu, Ozgur
    Introduction and importance: The risk of intraoperative bleeding is relatively considerable because carotid body tumors (CBT) have rich vascular structures. Aim is to reduce intraoperative bleeding with preoperative embolization. We present a unique technique for the successful surgical removal of a challenging CBT using intraoperative direct percutaneous intratumoral n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) embolization in a patient whose preoperative embolization failed and the operation could not be continued due to intraoperative bleeding.Clinical presentation: A 67-year-old female patient presented with 7 cm Shamblin class 3 CBT on her right neck. Due to the failure of the preoperative embolization, bleeding developed during the operation. In the case of Shamblin class 3 CBT, the primary concern was not the volume of bleeding, but the difficulty in seeing the dissection line due to hemorrhage. Intraoperative n-BCA straight embolization totally controlled the bleeding. The CBT was then readily removed.Clinical discussion: Effective management of intraoperative hemorrhage is essential to ensure successful progression of surgical procedures of CBT. Hemorrhage causes complete disappearance of the dissection line, which is already difficult to detect due to adventitia invasion. It is clear that another method is needed when preoperative embolization or covered stenting fails. n-BCA has been used in the endovenous treatment of varicose veins for a long time, but to the best of our knowledge, there is no other case of its use in intraoperative CBT embolization. Conclusion: Direct intraoperative embolization with n-BCA may be an alternative when other techniques are insufficient.

    Is there a relationship between Haller Index and cardiopulmonary function in children with pectus excavatum?
    (Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2023) Katrancioglu, Ozgur; Ozgel, Mehmet; Inceoglu, Feyza; Katrancioglu, Nurkay; Sahin, Ekber
    Background: This study aims to systematically examine the cardiopulmonary functions in children with pectus excavatum and to compare the obtained findings with the Haller Index.Methods: Between September 2017 and June 2018, medical records of a total of 31 patients (27 males, 4 females; mean age: 14.8 & PLUSMN;2.0 years; range, 9 to 18 years) with pectus excavatum were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into Group 1 (<2.5), Group 2 (2.5 to 3.19), and Group 3 (>3.2) according to the Haller Index. All groups were systematically evaluated based on pulmonary function tests and echocardiography. Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and the forced expiratory volume in 1 second/ forced vital capacity ratio were calculated. Left ventricular end -diastolic diameter, ejection fraction, mitral valve prolapses, and right ventricular cavity in the apical four-chamber position were evaluated with echocardiography.Results: Of the patients, 19.4% were in Group 1, 38.7% in Group 2, and 41.9% in Group 3. The mean Haller Index value was 3.09 & PLUSMN;0.64. According to pulmonary function test results, 16.1% of the patients had restrictive disease and 6.5% had obstructive disease. There was a negative correlation between the index and forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity, and there was a statistically significant decrease in these values, as the Haller Index increased (p<0.017). There was a significant difference in the ejection fraction among the groups (p<0.001) and, as the Haller Index increased, ejection fraction statistically significantly decreased.Conclusion: Our study results show a negative correlation between the severity of pectus excavatum and pulmonary dysfunction and, as the severity increases, left ventricular function may be affected by the deformity. As a result, there seems to be a significant relationship between the severity of the deformity and cardiopulmonary functions.
