Two (10%) of the 20 patients who were potent preoperatively lost the ability to ejaculate. None of the patients who were potent postoperatively had developed major urinary symptoms one year after surgery. Minor disturbances in bladder function were reported in 5 (25%) patients. Conclusion: Total mesorectal excision with the autonomic nerve-preserving technique yields good results in terms of sexual and urinary functional outcome, and should be considered for adoption as a standard surgical procedure for primary rectal cancer.

In recent years, however, ingestion of the pins that are used for securing turbans has frequently been observed among young Islamic women. This article reviews the patients who were admitted to our emergency unit for turban pin ingestion. Methods Between 2005 and 2009, 42 patients were admitted to our emergency unit with problems involving turban pins. The patients’ characteristics were analyzed, including age; marital status; career; type, number, and location of pins; and history of gastrointestinal surgery. Results The patients ranged in age between 11 and 48 years. Of the patients, 22 were single, and 20 were married; 19 were students, and 23 were housewives. The patients visited the emergency unit within 1 to 12 h after they had ingested the pins. Eight of the patients had ingested two pins each, while the others had ingested one pin each. The pins ingested most frequently were those with ball heads. Spontaneous excretion took 3 to 16 days. Of the patients who did not pass the pins spontaneously with feces, the pins were extracted at endoscopy in three and at laparotomy in one. The patients were followed up for 4 to 49 months. No pathological problems were noted during follow-up. Conclusions Turban pin ingestion is common in Islamic populations, and the treatment requires a systemic approach and careful follow-up. Pin ingestion can be prevented by increasing public awareness and avoiding holding pins in the mouth when fixing a turban or wearing a type of turban that does not require pins.

Oncocytomas are mostly asymptomatic, and the majority of tumors are discovered incidentally. In this case report, we present a case of a patient with a giant oncocytoma arising from her left kidney. Case presentation We describe a 25-year-old Turkish woman who was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain and a 3-year palpable abdominal mass, which was found present since her second pregnancy. Examination revealed a 15 × 20-cm mass in her abdominal cavity. Computed tomography revealed a mass with regular outlines, measuring 18 × 11 × 12 cm, associated with the left kidney, and causing marked hydroureteronephrosis. We excised the mass and performed a left nephrectomy on our patient. The immunohistopathology of the mass was consistent with renal oncocytoma. No local or distant metastasis was seen at 6 months postoperatively. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the second largest renal oncocytoma described in the English language literature. This is also the first reported giant oncocytoma that presented during pregnancy.

Intussusception due to inflammatory fibroid polyps is uncommon; moreover, ileo-ileal intussusception has only rarely been reported. Here, we report an 11 × 7 cm giant inflammatory fibroid polyp of the small bowel that presented as intussusception in a 73-year-old woman. Ultrasonography demonstrated a solid, homogeneous, echogenic mass surrounded by the typical mural layers of an invaginated ileum. The immunohistopathological diagnosis after segmental ileal resection was an ileal inflammatory fibroid polyp. Although encountered rarely in adults, physicians should be aware of invagination and consider it in each case of acute abdomen because of the wide spectrum of clinical settings.

The device has been used successfully in abdominal surgery and has been introduced as a new method for hemostasis during thyroidectomy. This study compares the efficacy and advantages of LigaSure, when used for thyroidectomy in benign nodular thyroid disease, with the conventional clamp-and-tie technique. Methods Between December 2003 and December 2008, 410 patients underwent thyroid surgery (333 with the conventional clamp-and-tie technique and 77 with LigaSure). Nine patients did not sign the ethical approval document and so were excluded from the study; the results of 68 LigaSure patients were evaluated. The main outcomes measured were age, sex, operating time, postoperative hypocalcemia, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, and drain use. Statistical analysis consisted of the chi-squared test and Student’s t-test. Results The mean operating time was significantly shorter in the LigaSure group by 24.1±1.7 minutes for a total thyroidectomy (P<0.0001) and 7.6±0.1 minutes for one side total plus other side sub- total thyroidectomy (P<0.0001). Bleeding during surgery was significantly lower in the LigaSure group (P<0.0001). There were no significant differences between the study groups in terms of postoperative hypoparathyroidism, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, and postthyroidectomy hemorrhage. Conclusion The LigaSure vessel sealer is a safe, effective alternative for thyroid surgery that reduces the overall operating time. However, its higher cost is a significant handicap for its use in surgery in developing countries.

Here, we describe a 33-year-old female who was admitted with abdominal pain, vomiting, no passage of gas or feces, and abdominal distension for 3 days. She had a splenectomy at another medical center 4 years previously. An upright plain abdominal film revealed small bowel obstruction with marked small bowel air-fluid levels. The physical examination revealed muscular guarding and rebound tenderness in the periumbilical region. Therefore, a laparotomy was performed. A surgical compress was removed at enterotomy and the final diagnosis was gossypiboma. Because a retained surgical compress may lead to medicolegal problems, it is important to count the material used before and after a surgical procedure to reduce the risk of this problem.

The aim of this study is to discuss the familial tendency for hernia in 5 members of a family of 11 people. To our knowledge, no other large family with inguinal hernias has been reported in the English literature. Methods This study presents the surgical procedures and follow-up results of right inguinal hernias seen in 5 of 11 members from one family. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), biochemical parameters, type of hernia and surgical procedure, and follow-up results were evaluated retrospectively. Results This study included five patients (three males, two females) presenting with right direct inguinal hernias. The initial symptoms began at an average age of 18.2 years (range 15–22), and the mean BMI of the patients was 20.6 kg/m2 (range 19.3–22.1). Three underwent hernia repairs with polypropylene surgical mesh and two with polyglactin–polypropylene composite mesh (Vypro II). The patients’ blood vitamin C levels were lower than those of the other family members, while their 24-h urinary hydroxyproline levels were higher. The patients were followed for an average of 16.4 months (range 3–33 months). No complications developed during follow-up. Conclusion The occurrence of the same type of hernia in more than one family member and the altered biochemical results indicate that the hernias may have resulted from a familial connective tissue disease. In patients with hernias, if a familial tendency is suspected, a detailed examination for connective tissue diseases may help to confirm the diagnosis.

There are only 5 cases of CC located outside the anal canal in the literature. The first occurrence of a CC presents as intraabdominal abscess. We describe a 23-year-old male patient who was admitted with fever and severe abdominal pain. Computed tomography imaging showed diffuse wall thickening about 10-11 cm above the rectosigmoid junction, intraabdominal abscess and a soft tissue lession covering the pelvis with a size of 8 × 8.5 cm including cystic necrotic areas. We performed Hartman procedure since the mass was nonresectable. Histopathological examination showed CC. In total, three times radiotherapy and a concurrent three-drug regimen of irinotecan, fluorouracil and folinic acid chemotherapy were administered for 6 weeks. As a result, the patient was lost because of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome that developed 3 months after radio-chemotherapy.

We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who was referred complaining of dyspareunia during coitus. We performed digital vaginal and rectal investigations, ultrasound, colonoscopy, and computed tomography. These examinations confirmed the presence of a lesion measuring about 6 × 5 × 5 cm in size attached to the posterolateral left rectum wall. We performed a circumanal excision, then arrived at the mass between the muscles of the pelvic floor. Pathological studies indicated that the tumor was a high-grade GIST, and was clear at the surgical margins. On follow-up, a GIST was found at the gastric fundus via an endoscopic biopsy. Imatinib treatment was initiated because the patient refused a second operation. The gastric lesion disappeared 6 months after imatinib treatment. Dyspareunia disappeared 1 month after operation.

We describe the case of a 59-year-old woman with a history of abdominal surgery in which a migrated biliary stent resulted in an ileal perforation. Patients with comorbid abdominal pathologies, including colonic diverticuli, parastomal hernia, or abdominal hernia, may be at increased risk of perforation from migrated stents.
