Aim: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) occurs in 30-80% of elective surgeries depending on the method of anesthesia, type of surgery and patient characteristics. It has been shown that prolonged preoperative fasting may increase rather than prevent complications. The aim of this study was to…
Aim: The research evaluated long-term clinical and radiological results between polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium rod fixation in adult isthmic spondylolisthesis to establish the best implant material choice. Methods: The study included 91 patients (48 PEEK and 43 titanium) who received posterior instrumented fusion surgery for…
Aim: Intravenous thrombolytic therapy is an effective and safe method in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to dissection. Our knowledge about the clinical results and reperfusion rates of the endovascular treatment of dissection associated with intracranial vessel occlusion is limited. In our study,…
Aim: Patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures tend to experience a higher frequency of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). This study aimed explore the influence of intraoperative end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO₂) levels on the occurrence of PONV in robotic surgery. Methods: This observational clinical study included…
Aim: To assess the concordance between preoperative endometrial biopsy and final postoperative histopathological findings in patients with endometrioid-type endometrial cancer, and to identify factors associated with diagnostic discrepancies. Methods: This retrospective study included 134 patients who underwent surgery between 2005 and 2018 following a preoperative…
Aim: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy causes hemodynamic changes such as decreasing preload, compression on vena cava inferior. These effects are correlated with increased intraabdominal pressure due to pneumoperitoneum. This study aims to evaluate the effect of granisetron (1 mg) in the prevention of post-induction hypotension in adult…
Aim: Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) primarily affects young males but typically presents as a secondary condition in older adults. Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is a life-threatening condition that requires urgent intervention, often arising due to underlying chronic pulmonary diseases. This study aims to evaluate the etiological…
Aim: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated favorable effects on metabolic parameters, yet their impact on liver fibrosis indices such as the Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score remains underexplored. Understanding the comparative efficacy of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin in modulating hepatic and metabolic markers could guide therapeutic…
Aim: This study investigated IL-6 expression in placentas of patients diagnosed with preterm and term premature rupture of membranes (PROM) via immunohistochemical and in silico analysis. Methods: Placentas of 40 healthy patients and 40 preterm and 40 term patients diagnosed with term PROM who gave…
Aim: Early diagnosis of renal dysfunction has clinical and prognostic importance for liver cirrhosis. The disadvantages are that creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are dependent on age and muscle mass in demonstrating renal dysfunction. There is a need for parameters that can detect renal…
