Item EFFECTS OF LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT SURGERY ON SURVIVAL IN ELDERLY AND OCTOGENARIAN PATIENTS(2018) Aydin, Huseyin Onur; Avci, Tevfik; Tezcaner, Tugan; Karagulle, Erdal; Yildirim, Sedat; 0000-0003-3795-5794; 0000-0002-8522-4956; 0000-0002-3641-8674; 0000-0001-5225-959X; 0000-0002-5735-4315; S-8185-2018; C-6247-2017; AAD-9865-2021; AAF-1698-2021; AAF-4610-2019Introduction: Life expectancy has significantly increased in the last decade. The decision to perform surgery has always been challenging in elderly patients. We aimed to evaluate outcomes in patients who underwent surgery for lower gastrointestinal tract diseases and investigate factors influencing morbidity and mortality, particularly in octogenarian patients, and the effects of age on prognosis and survival in the postoperative period. Materials and Method: This study included patients aged >= 70 years who underwent lower gastrointestinal tract surgery; patients were divided into three groups as 70-75 years, 75-79 years, and >= 80 years. Age, gender, type of surgery, ASA score, length of hospital stay, morbidity, 30-day mortality, and overall survival were evaluated. Results: The surgery was performed to 598 patients due to lower gastrointestinal tract diseases. There was a significant increase in the ASA score with increasing age (Chi-square=35.472; p<0.001). The survival rate was significantly higher in patients with malignancies than in those with benign diseases, and in patients who underwent elective surgery than in those who underwent emergency surgery (p<0.001). When patients were examined according to age groups, the overall survival was similar across groups (p=0.217). Conclusion: There was no significant difference between octogenarian and younger patients for complications and survival. Thus, planned surgical interventions in elderly patients will not negatively affect survival and surgical interventions and can be safely performed in these patients.Item Retroperitoneal cystic lesion mimicking malign sarcoma as a complication of lost gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(2018) Aydin, Huseyin Onur; Soy, Ebru Hatice Ayvazoglu; Avci, Tevfik; Yildirim, SedatItem Long-term and Perioperative Outcomes of Laparoscopic and Open Surgery for Rectal Cancer(2018) Aydin, Huseyin Onur; Ekici, Yahya; Karakayali, Feza Yarbug; Tezcaner, Tugan; Ozgun, Gonca; Yildirim, Sedat; Moray, GokhanObjectives: The necessity of comparing oncologic results with the use of minimally invasive surgery in rectal cancer has arisen. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the treatment approach in rectal cancer and to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic and open surgery. Methods: Patients who underwent surgery for rectal carcinoma between January 2006 and January 2016 in our institution were evaluated. The results were compared between the two groups according to open or laparoscopic surgery. Clinical characteristics, preoperative and postoperative results, pathological examination results, and disease-free survival rates were compared after the surgical procedure. Results: A total of 121 patients were included in the study. Of the patients, 50 underwent open, and 71 underwent laparoscopic surgery. The median follow-up times were 56.75 months in the open surgery group and 55.2 months in the laparoscopic surgery group. Pathological examination revealed similar numbers of lymph nodes in both groups (p>0.05). The duration of hospital stay was statistically significantly lower in the open surgery group than in the laparoscopic group (p<0.05). The rates of disease-free survival were 74% in the open surgery group and 82.5% in the laparoscopic group, and no statistically significant difference was found (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in complication and recurrence between laparoscopic and open surgery for rectal cancer in our study. The duration of hospital stay of patients was statistically significantly lower in the laparoscopic group than in the open surgery group. Laparoscopic or open surgical options could be preferred according to the clinical suitability of the patient, experience of the surgeon, and resources of the center in rectal cancer treatment.
