Item The results of interventional catheterization in infants weighing under 2,000 g(2019) Varan, Birgul; Tokel, N. Kursad; Yakut, Kahraman; Erdogan, Ilkay; Ozkan, Murat; 32082877Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the early and mid-term results of interventional cardiac catheterization and procedure-related complications in infants weighing <2,000 g. Methods: Between May 1998 and April 2017, 22 patients (14 males, 8 females; mean age 14 +/- 8.4 days; range, 1 to 30 days) weighing < 2,000 g who underwent a total of 23 interventional cardiac catheterization were retrospectively analyzed. Procedures were balloon coarctation angioplasty in 14, balloon atrial septostomy in five, balloon aortic valvuloplasty in one, balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in one, patent ductus arteriosus closure in one, and stent placement in the ductus in one patient. Another patient underwent balloon coarctation angioplasty and balloon aortic valvuloplasty in the same session. Results: The overall success rate of the interventional procedures was 95.6%. The mean follow-up was 3.2 +/- 1.6 years (range, 1 to 5.5) for 18 patients with available records. The rate of serious complications was 18%. The most frequent complications in the early period were low hemoglobin levels requiring erythrocyte suspension transfusion (54.5%) and vascular injury (54.5%). Two patients required reintervention, one patient required surgery after the second intervention, and three patients required only surgery. Six patients underwent palliative interventional procedures, and interventional procedures led to definitive treatment in five patients. Conclusion: The mortality and morbidity rate of surgery is high in premature under 2,000 g infants and interventional heart catheterization can be life-saving in this patient group, although it is associated with significant complications in low birth weight newborns.Item Comparison of Three Surgical Techniques in Pilonidal Sinus Surgery(2018) Kartal, A.; Aydın, H.O.; Oduncu, M.; Ferhatoğlu, M.F.; Kıvılcım, T.; Filiz, A.İ.; 30779699Our study aims to compare the surgical outcome of Limberg transposition flap, Karydakis flap, and primary closure after excision to treat sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. A total of 634 patients with pilonidal sinus who underwent surgery were evaluated retrospectively from January 2014 to January 2016. The patients were divided into three groups. Limberg transposition flap (LTF) was performed in 131 patients (group 1), Karydakis flap (KF) was performed in 232 patients (group 2) and primary closure (PC) after excision was performed in 271 patients (group 3). Patient demographics, operative and postoperative outcomes were recorded and analyzed retrospectively. The mean age (p=0.98), sex ratio (p=0.74) and removed sinus volume (p=0.67) were not statistically different between groups. Mean operative time was 54.3 ± 6.4 min for group 1, 46.8 ± 10.5 min for group 2, and 26.9 ± 5.8 min for group 3 respectively (p=0.01). When the length of hospital stay was compared, there was a significant difference in favor of primary closure (p=0.01). Regarding early surgical complication, Karydakis flap technique was superior to other groups (p<0.001). The recurrent rate was higher in the primary closure group (p<0.001). In our study, the primary closure method regarding the duration of surgery and hospitalization; Karydakis method regarding postoperative complications (seroma, hematoma, wound dissociation, infection, recurrence) were superior to the other two methods.Item A rare complication of total knee arthroplasty: Type l complex regional pain syndrome of the foot and ankl(2016) Soylev, Gozde Ozcan; Boya, Hakan; 0000-0001-6110-4004; 0000-0001-8742-5543; 27726920; W-7391-2019; AAJ-4917-2021Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful and disabling disorder that usually affects the extremities. This complication may affect the knee joint after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We report a unique case of CRPS of the foot and ankle, which was an unusual involvement site for CRPS after TKA.
