    (2021) Gezer, Hasan Ozkan; Temiz, Abdulkerim; Ezer, Semire; Yazici, Nalan; Demir, Senay; Hasbay, Bermal; Oguzkurt, Pelin; 0000-0002-4635-2613; 0000-0002-4209-9075; 0000-0001-6702-7265; A-4719-2018; AAJ-9529-2021; AAM-5138-2021; AAK-9310-2021
    Objective: Pancreatic rumors in children are exceedingly rare and hence present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to pediatric surgeons. In this study, we aimed to present our experiences and treatment outcomes related to these rare tumors. Methods: The clinical data, laboratory investigations, radiological imaging, and the pathology and surgical details of patients with pancreatic tumors who were diagnosed between 2005 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of 9 patients (5 men) were included in the study. The most common symptom at the time of presentation was vague abdominal pain. A pancreatic rumor was detected incidentally in 4 patients. All tumors were non-functional primary rumors. Histopathological diagnosis of these tumors were solid-pseudopapillary tumors (n=3), congenital pancreatic cysts (n=3), pancreatoblastoma (n=1), rhabdomyosarcoma (n=1), and an undifferentiated carcinoma (n=1). In addition, 8 patients were treated surgically (through tumor excision, central pancreatectomy + distal pancreaticojejunostomy, distal pancreatectomy, and cystogastrostomy). Two deaths from tumor dissemination were recorded. The patients were followed-up at a mean duration of 72 months (range: 6-120 months). Conclusion: Pediatric pancreatic tumors arc rare and are usually benign in nature. They present symptoms that are often nonspecific. In non-metastatic cases, surgical tumor removal is the preferred method for the treatment. For most tumors, surgical resection is the optimal treatment that may be successfully performed with low morbidity rate when the lesion is either in the body or in the tail of the pancreas. The long-term outcomes with this approach are generally good.

    Treatment of young patients with pilonidal sinus disease with the original (unmodified) Limberg flap standardized for the first time
    (2020) Gezer, Hasan Ozkan; Ezer, Semire Serin; Ince, Emine; Temiz, Abdulkerim; 0000-0002-9597-3264; 0000-0001-8789-6003; 0000-0002-4635-2613; 32353919; A-4719-2018; J-3197-2013; AAJ-9529-2021
    Background Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is commonly seen in young adults but may also affect adolescents. Our goal was to present results from operated patients, with a focus on the original Limberg flap, which we standardized for the first time. Methods This study was a retrospective review of 60 teenage patients who underwent surgery in a single pediatric surgery center over approximately 15 years. Results Of the 60 patients, 33 (55%) were male and the mean age was 14.20 +/- 1.31 (9-17) years. After pilonidal sinus excision, primary repair and Limberg flap were performed in 45 (75%) and 15 (25%) patients respectively. There were no complications in the patients who underwent the Limberg flap technique, whereas 49% of the patients who underwent primary repair exhibited complications. The mean follow-up was 6.7 +/- 4.8 years. Conclusion We standardized the Limberg flap for the first time in children with measurements and consider that it meets expectations: it is not difficult to perform, it has low complication and recurrence rates, it requires an acceptable period to return to normal activities, and gives satisfactory cosmetic results. We did not identify any complications in patients treated with the Limberg flap excision and post-operative epilation. We consider that findings achieved by the treatment of original, standardized Limberg flap excision is comparable with all of the treatment methods reported in the literature related with children.
