Hiatal hernia is a rare condition, which may be cause of important clinical problems either as mediastinal mass or failure the antireflux mechanism. Nineteen patients treated for paraesophageal hiatal hernias were included in study. We investigated demographic data, diagnostic studies and symptoms together with type operation outcome. Respiratory gastrointestinal complaints prominent most patients. Plain X-ray, contrast radiological study esophagoscopy used workup. Surgical repair was...

Objective To investigate the histopathological outcome of incised urethral plate after tubularized incised‐plate urethroplasty (the Snodgrass procedure to repair hypospadias) in a hypospadiac rabbit model, as it can produce meatal and neourethral strictures, healing with scarring. Materials methods The study comprised 10 male New Zealand White rabbits (2.2–2.4 kg); under general anaesthesia ventral urethra was completely excised 1 cm from meatus proximally model hypospadias formed. A...

Testis torsion is a surgical emergency, and sometimes we cannot sufficiently prevent injury even detorsion of the testis performed in appropriate time period due to some reasons such as tissue edema. In this experimental study, investigated effect tunica albuginea incision (TAI) on testicular torsion-detorsion model (TDM).Twenty four male rats were used. The randomly divided into three groups. Group I, (TT) 720° was created. After 4 hours period, detorsioned. Then longitudinal incisions made...

With advances in neonatal anesthetic and surgical care, a safe, one stage, definitive procedure has been possible Hirschsprung's disease. Since 1996, we have performed this type of operation the early infancy period. We aimed to review our data state feasibility these age groups.At Dr Behçet Uz Children's Hospital, treated 10 patients with single stage Duhamel-Martin between 1996 2000. Of patients, seven were boys. Six diagnosed first week evaluated by means age, sex, at diagnoses,...

Objective: The meatal advancement and glanuloplasty (MAGPI) technique is still successfully used for the repair of distal hypospadias. has been modified considerably since it was first described in 1981. primary drawbacks procedure are complications regression stenosis. aim this study to present a modification MAGPI correction Material Methods: Ten cases with hypospadias were operated on using our procedure. involves excision pull‐out, tag‐shaped piece glanular tissue through vertical...

Fibroepithelial polyps of glans penis are very rarely seen in childhood. A 6-month-old male admitted to our institution with a slowly enlarging mass on the ventral side penis. The was totally excised, and hystopathological diagnosis fibroepithelial polyp. All reported cases published previously, except one, adult age all them have been associated history long-term condom catheter use. presence case childhood; however, suggests that pathology might be congenital. This is second pediatric...

Objectives. To observe early renal parenchymal cellular changes in an experimental model of vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) and to show whether the apoptotic pathway plays a role these changes. Material methods. Fourteen New Zealand breed rabbits were used divided into two equal groups (control groups). Urine samples obtained sterile manner cultured. In study group, was created right kidneys surgically. Renal scintigraphy voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) performed both on Day 17. The examined...

Schwannomas usually occur in adults being between the second and fifth decades, such neoplasms are extremely rare a pediatric population. In addition, they not normally found retroperitoneal region. Here, we present case of schwannoma an adrenal location where tumor was able to be preoperatively differentiated from other benign or malign gland tumors. our opinion, this can included differential diagnosis nonfunctioning mass children.

We have shown in a previous study that sucralfate is beneficial the prophylaxis and treatment of hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced intestinal injury. The aim this to investigate whether has any effect on prevention apoptosis ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced

Experimental studies have shown that different suture materials used in testis fixation cause some degree of inflammation the testis. This study was planned to compare histological changes were caused by fibrin glue which is a tissue sealant and silk polypropylene for transparenchymal fixation. 28 prepubertal rats divided into 4 groups. Testis fixed tunica vaginalis group 1, 2 3. Group as control. Testicular seminiferous tubular diameter evaluated changes. The least observed group, while...

The primary goal of surgical therapy for short bowel syndrome is to increase intestinal absorptive capacity. Many procedures have been described this purpose. One these ileal reverse-segment procedure. This procedure after massive small-bowel resection an alternative way treat syndrome, but how it affects morphology in has not investigated. aim study investigate macroscopic and microscopic effects on the bowel.Twenty rats underwent 80% small bowel. were separated into two groups (n = 10). In...

To investigate long-term testicular function in pentoxifylline- and NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-treated rats prior to spermatic artery ligation by assessing serum inhibin B concentration, a reliable endocrine marker of spermatogenesis.Forty prepubertal were randomly divided into four equal groups. Right orchiectomy was performed all rats. Intraperitoneal pentoxifylline L-NAME administered Groups 1 2, respectively. Rats Group 3 did not receive any medication. The arteries the...
