    Hand-made Extracorporeal Knotting versus Hem-o-Lok Clip for Stump Closure in Laparoscopic Appendectomy
    (2019) Arer, Ilker Murat; Avci, Tevfik; Yabanoglu, Hakan; 31839096
    Objective: To compare hand-made extracorporeal knotting and hem-o-lok clip for the closure of appendix stump regarding safety, complications and cost-effectiveness. Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: Baskent University Adana Teaching and Research Center, between January 2010 and December 2016. Methodology: A total of 287 patients, who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy, were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into hand-made extracorporeal knotting and hem-o-lok clip groups. Patients were compared according to age, gender, duration of symptoms, serum leukocyte count, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, intraoperative findings, operation time, hospital stay, pathology report and complications. Results: Of 287 patients, 149 (51.9%) were female and 138 (48.1%) were male. The mean age was found 34.9 years. No statistical difference was observed between groups according to age, gender, duration of symptoms, serum leukocyte count, ASA score, operation time and hospital stay. Intraoperative findings were different between groups (p<0.05). Overall postoperative complication rate was 6.6%. No statistical difference was observed regarding complications Conclusion: Both hand-made extracorporeal knotting and hem-o-lok clips can be used for stump closure in laparoscopic appendectomy. Hand-made extracorporeal knotting is an effective, safe and costeffective method alternative to hem-o-lok clips.

    Role of preoperative C-reactive protein value and neutrophil ratio in the determination of conversion from laparoscopic appendectomy to open appendectomy
    (2018) Aydin, Huseyin Onur; Avi, Tevfik; Tezcaner, Tugan; Kirnap, Mahir; Yildirim, Sedat; Moray, Gokhan; 0000-0003-3795-5794; 0000-0003-3795-5794; 0000-0003-2498-7287; 30394496; AAH-9198-2019; S-8185-2018; AAF-4610-2019; M-1422-2019
    BACKGROUND: In this study, we aimed to investigate the factors causing conversion from laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) to open appendectomy (OA) in patients with acute appendicitis and to investigate the role of preoperative C reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil ratio in this conversion and determine a cut-off point for these parameters. METHODS: Records of patients who underwent LA due to acute appendicitis at our general surgery department between January 2011 and January 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. The preoperative American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) scores, Alvarado scores, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein level, and neutrophil ratio were evaluated. RESULTS: LA was performed in 394 patients with an initial diagnosis of acute appendicitis. A conversion to OA (cOA) was performed in 17 patients (4.31%). A CRP value of >= 108.5 mg/L and a neutrophil ratio of >= 81.5% were found to be statistically significant for the cOA (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Our study results showed that male gender, age, elevated neutrophil ratio, and CRP value were the main risk factors for cOA in patients who were scheduled for LA due to acute appendicitis.
