    Outcomes of Total Parathyroidectomy with Autotransplantation versus Subtotal Parathyroidectomy Techniques for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Chronic Renal Failure
    (2020) Sari, Ramazan; Yabanoglu, Hakan; Hargura, Abdirahman Sakulen; Kus, Murat; Arer, Ilker Murat; 0000-0001-6529-7579; 0000-0002-1161-3369; 0000-0003-3492-9953; 0000-0003-0268-8999; 31931926; AAJ-7870-2021; AAG-1897-2021; AAJ-7865-2021; AAK-2011-2021
    Objective: To compare the safety and the effectiveness of total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation versus subtotal parathyroidectomy for refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease. Study Design: A comparative study. Place and Duration of Study: Baskent University, Adana Medical and Research Center, Adana, Turkey, from January 2012 to November 2018. Methodology: Patients operated upon for refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism by the general surgery team were inducted. Overall, 25 (40%) patients underwent total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (Group 1), whereas 37 (60%) patients underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy (Group 2). Patient files were retrospectively analysed for recurrence or persistence of hyperparathyroidism. Results: A total of 62 patients, 32 (52%) of whom were females, with a mean age of 41.4 +/- 15.8 years for group 1; and 30 patients were males with a mean age of 43.1 +/- 16.7 years for group 2 were assessed in this study. The presenting complaints were bone pains and malaise supported by laboratory values that showed consistently elevated parathyroid hormone levels (>200 pg/ml). In the postoperative follow-up, 29 patients (46.8%) had transient hypocalcemia, while 3 (5%) had persistent hypoparathyroidism. In Group 1, one (4%) patient had a recurrence, while 4 (16%) patients had persistent hyperparathyroidism. In contrast, two (5.6%) patients in Group 2 had recurrence, whereas 8 (22%) patients had persistent hyperparathyroidism. Conclusion: Both surgical options can be safely utilised in the management of refarctory secondary hyperparathyroidism. Moreover, regardless of the procedure used, all the parathyroid glands must be explored. However, due to high morbidity and failure rates of subsequent surgeries, the surgeon should be keen and thorough in the initial procedure.

    Impact of surgeon factor on radiocephalic fistula patency rates
    (2016) Arer, Ilker Murat; Yabanoglu, Hakan; 26900457
    Introduction: Hemodialysis with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has been widely accepted treatment modality for patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). Radiocephalic fistulas are considered to be the most desirable for the initial vascular access. The aim of this study is to investigate the surgeon factor on radiocephalic fistula patency rates. Methods: A total of 186 patients with diagnosis of CRF underwent Radiocephalic fistula for hemodialysis access were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to operating surgeon. Patients were evaluated according to demographic characteristics, secondary patency rates, second AVF creation and complications. Results: Mean age was 57.7 +/- 14.8 years. The most common etiology of CRF was idiopathic (66.6%). 40 (75.5%) patients in group 1 and 122 (91.7%) patients in group 2 were pre-dialysis patients (p < 0.05). Overall secondary patency rate was 77.4%. Patients in group 1 and group 2 have secondary patency rates of 83% and 75.2%, respectively (p = 0.458). Second AVF creation was done in 2 (3.8%) patients in group 1 and 23 (17.3%) patients in group 2 (p < 0.05). Postoperative complication rate was 9.6%. Conclusion: Operating surgeon is not a major factor of secondary patency in radiocephalic arteriovenous fistulas. (C) 2015 The Authors.

    Listeriosis in a Patient Undergoing Hemodialysis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
    (2017) Tekkarismaz, Nihan; Ozelsancak, Ruya; Torun, Dilek; Aliskan, Hikmet Eda; 0000-0001-7631-7395; 0000-0001-9060-3195; 0000-0002-0788-8319; 0000-0002-6267-3695; AAD-9088-2021; AAE-2282-2021; AAD-5716-2021; AAD-9111-2021
    Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) infection is an uncommon manifestation in patients with chronic renal failure. In this article, we present a case of L. monocytogenes bacteremia in a patient undergoing hemodialysis. In addition, we are also present the listeriosis cases in hemodialysis patients reported so far in the literature. The patient was a 58-year-old man who was undergoing hemodialysis and had been admitted to hospital with fever. On the 5th day of admission, L. monocytogenes was detected in his blood cultures. He responded dramatically to ampicillin treatment. Listeriosis is a disease that requires careful microbiological laboratory examination. If the patient cultures are not analyzed carefully, the disease can be misdiagnosed. Only early diagnosis and adequate treatment can ensure a good prognosis.
