Giriş ve Amaç: Mide kanseri coğrafi bölgelere göre değişen sıklıkta görülmektedir. Biz bu çalışmada İzmir’e diğer bölgelerden göç edenlerin mide kanseri görülme sıklığını ve özelliklerini araştırdık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastanemize başvuran ve mide kanseri tanısı alan 20 yaşından büyük hastaların verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Patolojisi aden...
Objective: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is an important health problem in Turkey. Mortality and morbidity rates arise by accompanion of Hepatitis D infection (HDV). Prevalence of Hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) in HBV-positive individuals varies according to the regions in Turkey with 20% occurence in the western and up to 46% in the eastern parts...
Background:
Liver transplantation (LT) is an important treatment for acute liver failure and end-stage liver disease. Due to the limited supply of livers, there are still thousands of candidates waiting for transplantation in Turkey. We aimed to analyze LT waiting list access by demographics and etiology, particularly the diagnosis of hepatocellul...
Purpose:
Despite advances in prevention techniques, screening, and new technologies in both diagnosis and treatment, the incidence and mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continue to rise. To obtain the best treatment result for HCC, early diagnosis is the key. In this study, we investigated the accuracy of noninvasive fibrosis markers, wh...
Purpose:
Data on recurrence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) and its long-term impact on liver transplant (LT) are limited. In this study, we investigated the incidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the long-term effect of postoperative HDV recurrence HDV coinfection in our liver transplant patients.
Patients and methods:
Between 2004 and 2018, all p...
Purpose:
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease of unknown origin. Although the course of PSC is variable, it frequently is progressive, leading to cirrhosis and requiring a liver transplantation (LT) in more than half of the patients. PSC is the fifth most common indication for LT in the United States and one...
Purpose:
The variation of multiple bile ducts in a living donor graft is not infrequent; however, the literature on the impact of the number of bile ducts on postoperative biliary complications is scarce. We investigated whether the number of biliary duct anastomoses affects the rate of postoperative biliary complications in patients undergoing li...
Background:
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global health problem, and the need for liver transplants is ever-growing. For optimal surgical success, risk factors must be identified and HCV viral load must be reduced to a minimum to avoid complications. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of HCV viral load on the post-tra...
Background:
Venous outflow reconstruction of modified right-lobe liver grafts has been shown to prevent the occurrence of graft congestion and subsequent complications, including graft loss. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of Dacron grafts for venous reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT)....
Purpose:
Estimation of graft volume is critical in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy of software-aided automated computer tomography (CT) volumetry in the preoperative assessment of graft size for LDLT and to compare this method with manual volumetry.
Materials and methods:
Forty-one dono...
W hile the global prevalence of liver cirrhosis is not exactly known, the prevalence in the United States is found to be in 0.15% to 0.27% of the population. Approximately 25% of the population of countries such as England, France, Italy, Spain, and Finland is categorized as obese, and people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty l...
Introduction:
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) occurs throughout the world and causes gastroduodenal diseases. There is data indicating a change in the prevalence of H. pylori infection worldwide. The prevalence of H. pylori is 80% in Turkey, while it is higher in many developing countries, and the rate of infection varies throughout the world. In...
Introduction:
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used in the diagnosis and therapy of biliary tract diseases. The ERCP is an invasive procedure that does not increase complications in the elderly. Few studies have assessed the safety of ERCP in the elderly. Life expectancy is rising, which causes an increasing demand for ERCP...
Background
The purpose of the study was to evaluate some of the hormones in patients with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.
Methods
The men patients with chronic hepatitis B (Group 1), liver cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis B (Group 2), were included in this study. Additionally, a control group of healthy volunteers (Group 3) was formed. We inv...
Ingestion of foreign bodies can be a common problem especially among children, alcoholics, psychiatric patients, and senile patients, but ingestion of a metallic dinner fork is uncommon. Foreign bodies with smooth edges usually do not pose significant problems, but a sharp foreign object that is not retrieved at the earliest may penetrate the wall...
