Iatrogenic vascular injuries due to spinal surgeries are rare but serious complications. Surgical management of these is challenging with high morbidity rates. In this study we aim present the results endovascular iatrogenic surgeries.We retrospectively reviewed 11 patients (5 male, 6 female) who had cervical and lumbar surgeries. Clinical findings were bleeding (n=5), leg edema (n=6) right heart failure severe dyspnea (n=1). The age range between 42-67 (mean: 57.1). Six imaging before...

Awake craniotomy is a special method to prevent motor deficits during the resection of lesions that are located in, or close to, functional areas. Although it more commonly performed in adult patients, reports pediatric cases undergoing awake limited literature. In our clinic, where we frequently use this 2 selected for lesion surgery. At an early age, these diagnosed with epilepsy presented cerebral lesions, but since enclosed areas, surgical was not regarded as treatment option at time....

Abstract Isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation is accepted as one of the earliest events in tumorigenesis gliomas. This causes preferential accumulation D- relative to L-enantiomer 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). Minimally invasive techniques detect IDH1 may prove useful for clinical practice. We adopted 2 different diagnostic approaches status glioma patients: Evaluation and L-2-HG levels cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), urine, plasma, identification using cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)...

Abstract Objective: This prospective study was performed to determine whether extracorporeal shock‐wave lithotripsy (ESWL), widely used for treating renal and ureteral stones, affects the kidney interlobar artery resistive index (RI). Material Methods: A total of 43 patients (30 with 13 stones) underwent color Doppler examination before 30 min 3 h after ESWL. Seventeen nine stones 2 weeks later. Measurements were made near (nearby region), at least cm from (remote region) in contralateral...

Abstract Background: We review our trauma cases over the last 11 years and discuss diagnosis treatment modalities. Methods: One hundred thirty‐five patients with renal injuries who had been hospitalized in Urology General Surgery clinics of Dicle University hospital between 1990 2001 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients evaluated regard to age, sex, cause trauma, transport time, diagnostic methods, grade injuries, associated organ treatments complications. Results: forty‐one established...

Irisin is an exercise-induced myokine that alleviates endothelial dysfunction and reduces insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus. We conducted this cross-sectional prospective study to determine the association of serum irisin levels erectile diabetic patients. compared 34 patients with 30 without dysfunction. In our study, were found be statistically significantly higher those (p = .016) according correlation analysis, had a negative HbA1C value (r −.294, p .018). Based on results...

Ureteral injury is a rare condition. It difficult to identify the best diagnostic methods and treatment. We report our experience with penetrating ureteral injuries secondary gunshot wounds. The of diagnosis treatment options these cases are described discussed.A retrospective review due trauma between January 1990 December 2005, in Urology General Surgery departments hospital. injures were graded according AAST-OIS. evaluated mechanism injury, initial urinalysis, radiologic operative...

Vascular compression has been reported to be the most common reason for vago-glossopharyngeal neuralgia (VGN). The treatment may include medications, ganglion blockade with a radiofrequency ablation, and microvascular decompression (MVD). A review of literature reveals that VGN develop due choroid plexus compression, number cases is very limited. current case fifth in relevant literature. In this paper, shown intraoperatively during rare idiopathic using MVD. Complaints patient have resolved...

Bu çalışma, perkütan nefrolitotomide (PNL) spinal ve genel anestezinin sonuçlar üzerindeki etkilerini karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.

MATERIAL METHODS:This study was conducted between October 2016 December 2017 involving 18 cases.The DTI-bN method, addition to stimulation, done...

Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate is one rare variants prostatic carcinoma, and its incidence among all carcinomas reported to be 0.3% in literature. If tumor variant containing extracellular mucin <25% resected mass, histology defined as with mucinous features. The displays similar prognostic features classic adenocarcinoma. In this study, treatment surveillance processes our three patients were presented along a literature review.
