Methods: This study conveys our observations made at Kahramanmaraş Sütçüimam University Faculty of Medicine Hospital, where we worked as a volunteer team between February 7 and 14, 2023. Results: During the first few days, there were registration problems due to lack of electricity, water, and internet, as well as issues with sterile surgical environments. In the following days, a lack of auxiliary health personnel was revealed as the main difficulty. Conclusion: Since coordination is important when working as a team in the aftermath of an earthquake, staff from the same center should be deployed together if possible, and a team leader should be selected. Alternative recording systems should be established in case of power outages and computer problems. Secretaries, auxiliary health staff, and technicians should be included in the team in addition to doctors and nurses.

Kostik özofajial hasarlar striktür oluşumuna yol açarlar. Striktürleri engellemek için deneysel olarak birçok sayıda ajan kullanılmış olsa da çok azı klinik uygulama kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı korozif özofagus yanıklarında gelişecek striktürü engellemek için striktür oluşmadan özofagusa stent yerleştirmenin, striktür oluştuktan sonra balon dilatasyon ve kesici balon dilatasyon yapmanın striktür tedavisinde ve kilo kaybına etkilerini araştırmaktır. Kırk rat beş gruba ayrılmıştır. Kostik özofajial yanıklar gehano tarafından tariflendiği şekilde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Grup K’ya sadece salin verilmiştir. Grup Y hasarlanmış ve tedavi edilmemiştir. Grup B hasarlanmış ve 3. ve 4. hafta balon dilatasyon yapılmıştır. Grup KB hasarlanmış ve 3. haftada kesici balon tedavisi uygulanmıştır. Grup S hasarlanmış ve hasarın hemen sonrasında aynı seansda silikon stent yerleştirilmiştir. 6. haftada distal özofajial segmentlerde stenoz indeksi...

Methods: This study was conducted on patients who underwent surgery for appendicitis to compare the COVID-19 pandemic period versus the same period the year before. Data regarding demographics, age, the time between symptom onset and admission to hospital, laboratory, ultrasonography and pathology results and Alvarado score were considered. Results: A total of 211 patients were operated on for appendicitis, 132 patients in the control group and 79 patients in the COVID-19 group. No significant differences between the groups in terms of age, gender and the distribution of appendicitis severity were found. The median time between the onset of symptoms and admission to the hospital was 2.72 days during the COVID-19 pandemic period and there was a significant difference between the two groups(p=0.043).

We report a 9-year-old child with obstructive jaundice caused by compression of the intrapancreatic portion of the bile duct by a hydatid cyst located at the pancreatic head. Furthermore, we considered that this is a reportable case in aspect of childhood development. The patient was treated successfully by surgical procedure and albendazole chemoprophylaxis. The postoperative course was uneventful. In endemic areas, hydatid cysts should be considered among the differential diagnosis in cystic lesions of any organ including the pancreas.

Recently, a transscrotal approach has been recommended for hydroceles in children. This report describes our experience with hydrocele with omentum incarceration. Methods This retrospective study reviewed the records of ten children who underwent inguinal hydrocele repair with omentum incarceration in our clinic. Results The mean age of the patients was 4.5 years (range 1.5-16). Hydroceles were located on the right side in all patients. Scrotal erythema, inguinal pain, signs of intestinal obstruction and hernia sac were not determined. Hydrocele repairs were made by inguinal approach in all patients. The procesus vaginalis was rougher than normal and noted as the hernia sac. Thus, the hernia sacs were opened and omental incarceration was defined in all cases. Omentum protruded into the abdomen in all cases. A high ligation was performed and the distal parts of the sacs were fenestrated. Conclusions In the light of our experience, a scrotal approach to hydrocele repair in children would be difficult in cases of incarceration with hernia. Omental incarceration may cause hydrocele, and this hydrocele can be confused with normal hydrocele. Therefore, we would continue to recommend an inguinal approach for childhood hydroceles.

It is more common in childhood or early adolescence of African-American females. Case Report: We present a case of a 4-year-old girl with tumoral calcinosis treated surgically. The case is rather rare in terms of the age of the patient and the localization of the masses (gluteal site). In our patient, the biochemical findings were normal, except for hyperphosphatemia and elevated alkaline phosphatase. Conclusions: Total excision appears to lead to a good clinical outcome and a low incidence of local relapse.

Current treatment modalities may result in wound infection, fascial separation, and abdominal domain loss. We report a GO infant who required a delayed closure and was managed using sterile incision drape and polypropylene mesh. Methods: A 3080 g full-term female infant was born with a GO. The skin was dissected from the fascia circumferentially without opening the amniotic sac and the peritoneum. Subsequently, two polypropylene meshes of 10 × 10 cm in diameter were sutured to each other. Inner surface of the mesh silo was covered with sterile incision drape. This texture was sutured to the fascial margin. Then, the skin was sutured to the mesh and the silo was closed from the side and above. On the 4th day the reduction was started using thick sutures without anesthesia. This procedure was repeated on every 3rd day. When it came closer to the skin margins, constriction was performed using right angle clamps, each time placed 2 cm proximally to the previous sutures in a circular manner. Silo was removed easily and the skin, subcutaneous layers, and fascia were then approximated on the 42nd day. Results: The postoperative course was uneventful and the infant was well with left inguinal hernia repaired in the 3rd month. Conclusion: The method we used can be performed at bedside and without the application of anesthesia, but should be tried on more patients to determine its effect.

Imaging and laboratory studies suggested this was a sacrococcygeal teratoma. On the 16th day of age, the tumor was completely removed. Histopathologic examination of the tumor showed malignant Triton tumor (MTT). Thus, we describe a female newborn without a family history of neurofibromatosis with an MTT that mimics a sacrococcygeal teratoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a sacrococcygeal MTT detected in a neonate.

Of these, 6I became incarcerated at some time, the highest incidence being in the youngest infants; the bowel was not strangulated in any of these hernias. No untoward effects were seen to result from a short trial of conservative treatment in incarcerated hernia.

The outcomes after stent placement were also compared with those after balloon dilatation and cutting balloon dilatation performed after stricture development. Groups were compared with regard to stricture development and weight loss. 40 rats were divided into 5 groups. CEB was created as described by Gehanno et al. In Group A (control) no CEB was performed and the esophagus was only rinsed with saline. Group B rats underwent CEB with no subsequent treatment. Group C rats underwent CEB followed by balloon dilatation in the 3 (rd) and 4 (th) week. Group D rats underwent CEB followed by cutting balloon dilatation in the 3 (rd) week. Group E rats underwent CEB with subsequent placement of a silicon stent in the same session. The animals were sacrificed in the 6 (th) week, and the stenosis index (SI), collagen deposition, and hydroxyproline (HP) levels were determined in the esophageal segments and statistically compared. Although weight loss occurred in Group C and Group B rats (238.87±15.95 g vs. 233.83±19.01 g), weight loss in Group C rats was less marked compared to Group B. Similarly, the SI in Group C was lower compared to that of Group B and the difference was statistically significant. Although there was no difference in weight between the rats in Group C and Group B before the procedure (p=0.318), there was statistically significant difference thereafter (p=0.002). The SI of Group D was also lower compared with that of Group B, and the difference was statistically significant. Weight gain in Group E rats was similar to that noted in Group A rats and was higher compared to Group B; this difference was statistically significant. The SI for Group E was lower compared to that of Group B. Stenting performed at the time of corrosive injury and cutting balloon dilatation performed after stricture formation had a positive effect with regard to SI and weight gain in an animal model.
