| OUR EXPERIENCES ON URGENT ABDOMINAL RELAPAROTOMIES | | Author : BULENT CALIK, OMER ENGIN, AYVAZ ULAS URGANCI | | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Objectives of this study were to evaluate the reasons and outcomes of urgent abdominal relaparotomies.Data on patient demographics, details of the initial operation, indications for relaparotomy, complication and mortality rates were collected in 5806 patients who underwent surgery between January 2005 and October 2010.45 patients underwent relaparotomy (26 female, 19 male). The mean age was 51.1 (range 19-77) years. The initial operations in these cases were: 23 cholecystectomies (18 laparoscopic, 5 open), 7 appendectomies, 4 incisional hernias, and 3 gastrectomies. The most common reasons for relaparotomy included: peritonitis, intraabdominal abscess, and intraabdominal bleeding. The mean time interval between initial operation and relaparotomy was 8 days. The highest rate of relaparotomy rate was observed in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We suggest that the most efficient way of reducing urgent abdominal relaparotomy rate is actually "avoiding the possible complications during the first surgery". Number of education programs for using new surgical equipments and participation of these programs should be encouraged by general surgery ascociations. |

| ISOLATED RENAL CYST HYDATID OPERATED WITH A PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS OF LIVER CYST HYDATID: A CASE REPORT | | Author : SAVAS YAKAN, ZAFER KOZACIOGLU, ENVER ILHAN, OMER ENGIN, MEHMET AKIF USTUNER, ABDULLAH SENLIKCI | | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Hydatid cyst disease, introduced by E. Granulosus, is a parasitic disease which is possible in any organ or tissue but more commonly in liver (75%) and lungs (15%). Urinary tract involvement develops in only 2- 4 % of cases and isolated renal cysts are extremely rare. In this article, we present a case preoperatively radiologically diagnosed as liver cyst hydatid but during the operation who turns out to be a renal cyst hydatid and discussed it in the light of the current literature. |
