Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent appendectomy between years 2010 and 2014 were retrospectively evaluated. All patients' pregnancy outcomes were followed-up by using university registry system and telephone interview. Patients were evaluated regarding age, gestational age, clinical and laboratory examinations, imaging studies, mean time interval between emergency department and operation, mean operative time, pregnancy outcome and pathologic results of the appendix. Results: Thirty-nine patients were included in the study. Sixteen of 39 patients were in the first, 15 of them in the second and 8 of them were in the third trimester of the pregnancy. Three patients underwent laparoscopic appendectomy and the rest underwent laparotomy. In pathologic evaluation of the appendix, seven patients (17%) had normal appendix, 4 patients had perforated appendix, one patient had neuro-endocrine tumor and rest of the patients had appendicitis. Two missed abortion occurred after operation, rest of the patients had live birth. Six of them were preterm and 31 had term birth. Twelve patients delivered through vaginal birth and the rest via caesarean section. Twenty patients were in the first half of the pregnancy (group 1) and 19 patients were in the second half of the pregnancy (group 2). There were no significant differences between the groups in operation time and mean time interval between emergency administration and operation. Conclusion: Delayed operation and negative appendectomy can cause adverse pregnancy outcomes. Expectant management in suspected cases may decrease negative appendectomy rates but can also lead to perforation. Computed tomography and MRI ought to be considered if ultrasonography is inconclusive. Tocolytic regimens can be administered to prevent threatened preterm labor. Obstetric indications were valid for delivery mode. Amaç: Gebeliğinde apendektomi yapılan hastaların gebelik sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi.

It can be seen as a relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia. Sometimes it can be seen in the form of a solid tumour without any evidence of leukaemia. A case of a 44-year-old male patient who was admitted with symptoms and signs of mechanical intestinal bowel obstruction was operated on. The operation findings showed small bowel obstruction due to a mass. The mass was then resected with end-to-end intestinal anastomosis. The resected mass pathology results were consistent with myeloid sarcoma. The post-operative period was uneventful and adjuvant therapy was applied. In this case report we aimed to evaluate the clinical signs and treatment modalities of small intestinal myeloid sarcoma.

Parallel to these developments, there has been a significant increase in the number of publications in the related field. Our study aimed to evaluate Turkey's publications related to endocrine surgery in the international arena. Material and Methods: Members of the general surgery departments from academic centers in Turkey were determined. Using these member names, a PubMed search was performed for English papers related to "endocrine surgery." For searching papers from non-academic centers, the same engine was used. To reach manuscripts possibly missed by the PubMed search, 3 national calls were made through the website of the Turkish Society of Endocrine Surgery. The obtained papers were divided into "thyroid," "parathyroid," "adrenal," and "neuroendocrine tumors" and were listed according to the publication year. In addition, all manuscripts were listed according to the publishing journal and the 2012 impact factor of that journal. This study did not require ethical approval, because it did not involve evaluation of experimental or patient data. Results: A search of Turkish general surgery clinics revealed 497 international publications, between 1976 and 2012. When listed according to the year of publication, most publications were found to be in the year 2009. Papers appeared mostly in "Surgery Today." The mean impact factor of the journals where the papers have been published was 1.9 (0.1-13.8). The rates of thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal tissue and neuroendocrine tumors related publications were 69%, 10%, 15% and 6%, respectively. Since this study is not an experimental study or a study related to patient data, we did not apply for ethical approval. Conclusion: The contribution of Turkish general surgeons' to world science is apparent when evaluated in terms of publications related to endocrine surgery until recently. Particularly, since 2002, with the increase in the number of publications in the field of endocrine surgery, there has been an increase in Turkey's importance on the international platform.

The Boston mechanism (BM) is responsive to the latter two policies in that a stronger priority-based or reserve-based affirmative action makes some minority student better off. However, a stronger quotabased affirmative action may yield a Pareto inferior outcome for the minority under the BM . These positive results disappear once we look for a stronger welfare consequence on the minority or focus on BM equilibrium outcomes.

Material And Methods: A total of 770 patients that had operated at gynecologic oncology department for a suspicious ovarian mass were investigated. Of the patients 28 were diagnosed as extra ovarian diseases presenting abdominal or pelvic mass. Collected data were age, diagnosis, tumor markers, imaging findings, tumor diameters, stage, time for follow up, overall survival, pathology results. Results: Final diagnosis of the patients that had a prediagnosis of ovarian cancer were as follows: 10 (35,7%) with appendix carcinoma, 6 (21%) with colon or breast cancer metastasis, 6 (21%) with tuberculosis, 3 (10,7) with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), 2 (7,1%) with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, 1 (3,6%) with peritoneal mesotelioma, 1 (3,6) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Among minimally invasive methods, phenol therapy is frequently used in adults and successful results are reported. However, studies on phenol treatment in adolescents with PS are limited and the number of patients is small. Therefore, our study aims to determine whether 80% liquid phenol treatment can be used as first-line therapy in this age group. Materials and Methods: Primary and recurrent SPS patients aged between 14 and 19 years who were treated with 80% liquid phenol were included in this study. Patient data were obtained from their files retrospectively. Results: Of the patients, 69 (69.7%) were male and 30 (30.3%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 17.4±1.3 (min-max 14-19). The total recurrence and complication rates after phenol administration were 10.7% and 16.1%, respectively. According to the Likert-type questionnaire, the mean satisfaction rate was 8.7±1.7 (min-max 5-10). Conclusion: In our study, it has been shown that 80% liquid phenol treatment can be successfully applied in adolescents with PS with low recurrence and low major complication rates. In addition, we think that 80% liquid phenol treatment should be recommended as the first-line treatment option for both primary and postoperative recurrent adolescent patients with PS, as it ensures a quicker return to work /school and shows high satisfaction rates.

Material and methods: The hospital database was utilised to identify the colorectal cancer patients. Eighty-six patients diagnosed with colorectal adenocarcinoma, who had hepatic metastases on the initial diagnostic stage or on the follow-up investigations, were enrolled the study. Computed tomography (CT) images of the study population were reviewed for the primary location of the colorectal tumour, and the side and number of hepatic metastases. Results: A total of 481 metastases were counted on CT from 22 right-sided and 64 left-sided colon tumours. The ratio of right-to-left hemiliver involvement was 1.97 : 1 for whole study population. The right-to-left ratio was calculated as 1.55 : 1 for right colon tumours and 2.17 : 1 for left colon tumours (p = 0.106). In the subgroup analysis with unilobar metastatic patients, again there was no significant difference in terms of the colorectal tumours' primary location (p = 0.325). Conclusions: The lobar distribution of hepatic metastases from colorectal adenocarcinoma may not be associated with the primary tumour localisation

Here, we present a case with primary gallbladder pleomorphic sarcoma of which diagnosis was based on morphology and immunohistochemistry. A 70-year-old male presented with three months of abdominal pain in the upper right quadrant and weight loss. The patient reported a past medical history of chronic cholecystitis. Using abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the patient was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer. Radical cholecystectomy, with segment 4b and 5 resection of the underlying liver tissue and dissection of the pericholedochal lymph nodes were performed. Patient's postoperative course was unremarkable and he was discharged on the postoperative 5 th day. The immunohistochemical analyses supported the diagnosis of primary gallbladder pleomorphic sarcoma. The patient was referred to the department medical oncology for adjuvant chemotherapy Primary gallbladder pleomorphic sarcoma is a very rare histological type with an unclear pathogenesis. A better understanding of pathogenesis and treatment for this disease, with the larger case series may be better addressed.

Because of similar imaging modalities and similar clinical findings, it is difficult to distinguish between preoperative parathyroid adenomas and parathyroid carcinoma. A 70-year-old female patient presented with fatigue and generalized bone pain. Her laboratory tests, neck and parathyroid scintigraphy were compatible with primary hyperparathyroidism with a significantly elevated level of parathormone. With the imaging methods which supported parathyroid adenoma, the patient was operated with a presumptive diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma. The postoperative course was unremarkable and she was discharged on the postoperative fifth day. Postoperative pathology was reported as parathyroid carcinoma developed in a parathyroid adenoma. Parathyroid carcinoma and parathyroid adenoma have similar clinically and imaging methods, it is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.

In addition, all manuscripts were listed according to the publishing journal and the 2012 impact factor of that journal. This study did not require ethical approval, because it did not involve evaluation of experimental or patient data. Results: A search of Turkish general surgery clinics revealed 497 international publications, between 1976 and 2012. When listed according to the year of publication, most publications were found to be in the year 2009. Papers appeared mostly in "Surgery Today." The mean impact factor of the journals where the papers have been published was 1.9 (0.1-13.8). The rates of thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal tissue and neuroendocrine tumors related publications were 69%, 10%, 15% and 6%, respectively. Since this study is not an experimental study or a study related to patient data, we did not apply for ethical approval. Conclusion: The contribution of Turkish general surgeons' to world science is apparent when evaluated in terms of publications related to endocrine surgery until recently. Particularly, since 2002, with the increase in the number of publications in the field of endocrine surgery, there has been an increase in Turkey's importance on the international platform.

The Boston mechanism (BM) is responsive to the latter two policies in that a stronger priority-based or reserve-based affirmative action makes some minority student better off. However, a stronger quotabased affirmative action may yield a Pareto inferior outcome for the minority under the BM . These positive results disappear once we look for a stronger welfare consequence on the minority or focus on BM equilibrium outcomes.

Among minimally invasive methods, phenol therapy is frequently used in adults and successful results are reported. However, studies on phenol treatment in adolescents with PS are limited and the number of patients is small. Therefore, our study aims to determine whether 80% liquid phenol treatment can be used as first-line therapy in this age group. Materials and Methods: Primary and recurrent SPS patients aged between 14 and 19 years who were treated with 80% liquid phenol were included in this study. Patient data were obtained from their files retrospectively. Results: Of the patients, 69 (69.7%) were male and 30 (30.3%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 17.4±1.3 (min-max 14-19). The total recurrence and complication rates after phenol administration were 10.7% and 16.1%, respectively. According to the Likert-type questionnaire, the mean satisfaction rate was 8.7±1.7 (min-max 5-10). Conclusion: In our study, it has been shown that 80% liquid phenol treatment can be successfully applied in adolescents with PS with low recurrence and low major complication rates. In addition, we think that 80% liquid phenol treatment should be recommended as the first-line treatment option for both primary and postoperative recurrent adolescent patients with PS, as it ensures a quicker return to work /school and shows high satisfaction rates.

Material and methods: The hospital database was utilised to identify the colorectal cancer patients. Eighty-six patients diagnosed with colorectal adenocarcinoma, who had hepatic metastases on the initial diagnostic stage or on the follow-up investigations, were enrolled the study. Computed tomography (CT) images of the study population were reviewed for the primary location of the colorectal tumour, and the side and number of hepatic metastases. Results: A total of 481 metastases were counted on CT from 22 right-sided and 64 left-sided colon tumours. The ratio of right-to-left hemiliver involvement was 1.97 : 1 for whole study population. The right-to-left ratio was calculated as 1.55 : 1 for right colon tumours and 2.17 : 1 for left colon tumours (p = 0.106). In the subgroup analysis with unilobar metastatic patients, again there was no significant difference in terms of the colorectal tumours' primary location (p = 0.325). Conclusions: The lobar distribution of hepatic metastases from colorectal adenocarcinoma may not be associated with the primary tumour localisation

Here, we present a case with primary gallbladder pleomorphic sarcoma of which diagnosis was based on morphology and immunohistochemistry. A 70-year-old male presented with three months of abdominal pain in the upper right quadrant and weight loss. The patient reported a past medical history of chronic cholecystitis. Using abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the patient was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer. Radical cholecystectomy, with segment 4b and 5 resection of the underlying liver tissue and dissection of the pericholedochal lymph nodes were performed. Patient's postoperative course was unremarkable and he was discharged on the postoperative 5 th day. The immunohistochemical analyses supported the diagnosis of primary gallbladder pleomorphic sarcoma. The patient was referred to the department medical oncology for adjuvant chemotherapy Primary gallbladder pleomorphic sarcoma is a very rare histological type with an unclear pathogenesis. A better understanding of pathogenesis and treatment for this disease, with the larger case series may be better addressed.

Because of similar imaging modalities and similar clinical findings, it is difficult to distinguish between preoperative parathyroid adenomas and parathyroid carcinoma. A 70-year-old female patient presented with fatigue and generalized bone pain. Her laboratory tests, neck and parathyroid scintigraphy were compatible with primary hyperparathyroidism with a significantly elevated level of parathormone. With the imaging methods which supported parathyroid adenoma, the patient was operated with a presumptive diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma. The postoperative course was unremarkable and she was discharged on the postoperative fifth day. Postoperative pathology was reported as parathyroid carcinoma developed in a parathyroid adenoma. Parathyroid carcinoma and parathyroid adenoma have similar clinically and imaging methods, it is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.
