Item Risk Factors for Urinary Tract Infection After Kidney Transplant: A Retrospective Analysis(2020) Tekkarimaz, Nihan; Ozelsancak, Ruya; Micozkadioglu, Hasan; Caliskan, Kenan; Demiroglu, Yusuf Ziya; Arslan, Ayse Hande; H, Mehmet; 0000-0001-5142-5672; 0000-0001-7631-7395; 0000-0002-0788-8319; 0000-0002-8767-5021; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 31424358; AAE-7608-2021; AAD-9088-2021; AAD-5716-2021; AAJ-7201-2021; AAJ-8097-2021Objectives: Urinary tract infections are the most common type of infections in kidney transplant recipients. They are also important factors for increased morbidity and mortality. The aims of this study were to evaluate the number of urinary tract infections, to identify possible donor/receiver-based risk factors, and to evaluate the impact of these infections on graft function. Materials and Methods: Medical records of patients who had undergone kidney transplant between 2010 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Our study included 145 patients (49 women [33.8%] and 96 men [66.2%]), with mean age of 35.2 +/- 12.4 years. There were 105 episodes of urinary tract infections in 55 of 145 patients (37.9%) during the first year after transplant. Female sex (P = .001), glomerulonephritis as primary kidney disease (P = .04), pretransplant diabetes (P = .05), and presence of ureteral stent (P = .03) were significant risk factors for the development of urinary tract infections. The most frequent pathogens identified were Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Mean glomerular filtration rate at 12 months was significantly lower in patients with urinary tract infection than in patients without infection (80 +/- 25 vs 68 +/- 28 mL/min; P = .006). Conclusions: In kidney transplant recipients, urinary tract infections are common complications and have negative outcomes on graft function. These infections remain an important disease that requires frequent investigations and new ways of approach for prevention.Item Mucormycosis with Orbital Apex Syndrome in a Renal Transplant Recipient(2015) Haberal, Mehmet; Kursun, Ebru; Turunc, Tuba; Demiroglu, Yusuf Ziya; Yabanoglu, Hakan; Demir, Senay; Caliskan, Kenan; Moray, Gokhan; Arslan, HandeMucormycosis is a rarely encountered invasive fungal infection with high mortality. Solid organ transplantation is one of the risk factors for mucormycosis. Mucormycosis can be classified in six different groups according to the anatomical localization; rhinocerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, disseminated, and other less common involvements. This paper presented a mucormycosis case with rhinoorbitocerebral involvementin a renal transplantation receiver, which manifested with orbital apex syndrome.Item Laparoscopic Repair of Morgagni Hernia(2015) Arer, Ilker Murat; Yabanoglu, Hakan; Aytac, Huseyin Ozgur; Caliskan, Kenan; Torer, NurkanMorgagni hernia is a congenital herniation of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity through a retrosternal diaphragmatic defect and make up about 1 % - 5 % of all types of congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Surgical repair of Morgagni hernias is usually indicated when patients are symptomatic and have a high risk of strangulation or incarceration of the contained viscera. 71-year-old male patient admitted to emergency department with a 2-day history of abdominal pain, vomiting and obstipation. Laparoscopic repair for Morgagni hernia was performed. Laparoscopic repair for Morgagni hernia with mesh repair is secure, satisfactory and easily performed.Item The Effect of the Use of Synthetic Mesh Soaked in Antibiotic Solution on the Rate of Graft Infection in Ventral Hernias: A Prospective Randomized Study(2015) Yabanoglu, Hakan; Arer, Ilker Murat; Caliskan, Kenan; 25590831Wound infections and seroma formations are important problems in ventral hernia repair operations using synthetic mesh grafts. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the use of synthetic mesh soaked in vancomycin solution on the rate of graft infection. The total number of subjects was 52. The subjects were randomized into 2 groups using a software program. Group 1 (n = 26) was the control group. In group 2 (n = 26), synthetic mesh was soaked in a Vancomycin solution before it was implanted. The patients were compared with respect to demographic characteristics and preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables. There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to the available variables. Seroma development was significantly more common in group 2 (P < 0.041). Three patients (5.7%) developed superficial wound infection, and 9 (17%) developed surgical site infection 2-type wound-site infection. No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of infection. The use of synthetic mesh soaked in vancomycin solution had no beneficial effects on the rate of wound-site infection. Future randomized, controlled, large-scale studies using the same mesh and suture types, and meshes soaked in larger spectrum antibiotics are needed.Item Can red cell distribution width be used as a predictor of acute cholecystitis?(2017) Arer, Ilker Murat; Yabanoglu, Hakan; Caliskan, Kenan; 0000-0003-0268-8999; 0000-0002-1161-3369; 0000-0002-8767-5021; 28740954; AAJ-7865-2021; AAJ-7201-2021; AAK-2011-2021Objective: Acute cholecystitis is a common disease requiring accurate markers for diagnosis and proper treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of red cell distribution width (RDW) in acute cholecystitis. Material and Methods: 299 were included in the study. The subjects were divided into 2 groups; group 1 (n: 46) acute cholecystitis group and group 2 (n:253) chronic cholecystitis group. The patients were compared with respect to demographic characteristics, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and red cell distribution width. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed between groups with respect to gender, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and red cell distribution width level (p<0.05). The mean red cell distribution width level of group 1 and 2 was 14.19 +/- 2.02% and 15.03 +/- 2.51%, respectively. Conclusion: Red cell distribution width level can be used as a predictor of acute cholecystitis. Multicenter prospective studies should be performed to elucidate the exact role of RDW level in acute cholecystitis.
