Item Factors affecting parametrial involvement in cervical cancer patients with tumor size <= 4 cm and selection of low-risk patient group(2021) Akilli, Huseyin; Tohma, Yusuf Aytac; Gunakan, Emre; Kucukyildiz, Irem; Tunc, Mehmet; Haberal, Nihan Reyhan; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0002-5240-8441; 0000-0001-9418-4733; 0000-0001-8854-8190; 0000-0001-9852-9911; 33506671; AAX-3230-2020; AAE-6482-2021; ABI-1707-2020; AAK-4587-2021Objective: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting parametrial involvement in cervical cancer patients with tumor size <= 4 cm and selection of the low-risk patient group based on long-term oncologic outcomes. Material and Methods: Cervical cancer patients operated in the gynecologic oncology division between 2007 and 2013 were retrospectively evaluated. One-hundred and sixty-eight patients with tumor size <= 4 cm were identified. Of these, 159 (86.8%) underwent radical hysterectomy plus pelvic-para- aortic lymphadenectomy and nine (13.2%) underwent fertility-sparing surgery [radical trachelectomy (n= 7); large conization (n=2)]. Factors affecting parametrial invasion, including lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), deep stromal invasion (DSI), lymph node metastases, and tumor size, were evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 23.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Median age was 49.5 years and median tumor size was 2.5 cm ( 0.45-4 cm). In both univariate and multivariate analyses, the risk of parametrial involvement was increased with LVSI with a hazard ratio (HR) of 3.45 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-10.8] and DSI with a HR of 4.1 (95% CI: 1.18-14.8), while tumor size of <= 2 cm was only significant in univariate analyses. Furthermore, 26 early-stage patients were identified with low-risk factors and they had no parametrial involvement, lymph node metastases, recurrence, or death from disease over 77 months. Conclusion: Parametrial involvement in low-risk cervical cancer is very rare and less radical procedures may be safe in these patients.Item Early pregnancy after bariatric surgery: a single-institute preliminary experience(2020) Gunakan, Emre; Bulus, Hakan; Tohma, Yusuf Aytac; 0000-0001-9418-4733; 31840970; AAE-6482-2021Background/aim: Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is an issue of growing importance with increasing number of women undergoing bariatric surgery. Therefore, in this study we present patients who conceived after sleeve gastrectomy and evaluate the obstetric outcomes. Materials and methods: This retrospective case-control study includes 23 women who conceived after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Patients were evaluated in two groups according to the number of months between surgery and conception (group 1: <= 12 months; group 2: >12 months). Results: The mean body mass index of patients before surgery and at the time of conception was 46.6 kg/m(2) and 29.7 kg/m(2), respectively. Nine patients (39.1%) had a history of infertility. There was no statistical difference between groups 1 and 2 for haemoglobin, ferritin, and 25-OH Vit-D levels or maternofoetal complication rates and pregnancy outcomes. Enteral nutrition requirements and intravenous iron replacement needs were higher in group 1, although this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Pregnancy in the first years after sleeve gastrectomy seems to have similar obstetric outcomes compared to pregnancies occurring later, but it remains a controversial issue. Although the results did not have statistical significance in our study, well-designed prospective series may determine the role of enteral nutrition and intravenous iron replacement in patient management.Item A Pregnant Woman with Jaundice in the Intensive Care Unit(A Pregnant Woman with Jaundice in the Intensive Care Unit, 2020) Yesiler, Fatma Irem; Sahinturk, Helin; Gunakan, Emre; Gedik, Ender; Zeyneloglu, Pinar; 0000-0003-0159-4771; 0000-0001-8854-8190; AAJ-1419-2021Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is a life-threatening disorder characterized by maternal liver failure, and it occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy or postpartum period. The resultant effects include coagulopathy, electrolyte abnormalities, and the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), which may require liver transplantation. Therefore, pregnant women having MODS should be managed in an intensive care unit (ICU) with multidisciplinary inputs to facilitate the appropriate supportive care. We present a successful case report of a pregnant women admitted to the ICU with jaundice and MODS without the need for liver transplantation and organ support therapies. A 20-year-old patient in her first pregnancy at 31 weeks gestation who presented with nausea, vomiting, and jaundice was admitted to our hospital. She was referred from a rural medical center (a center 608 kilometers away) to the ICU due to the possible diagnosis of acute liver failure requiring liver transplantation. Acute physiology and chronic health assessment score was 12, sepsis related organ failure score was 8, and Glasgow coma scale was 15 on ICU admission. AFLP was considered in the patient and an emergency delivery was performed by caesarean section. She recovered with intensive care support after pregnancy delivery without the need for liver transplantation. The patient was discharged from the ICU and hospital after 6 and 10 days, respectively. AFLP should be suspected in the differential diagnosis of a pregnant woman with jaundice and hyperbilirubinemia who is admitted to the ICU in the third trimester of pregnancy or postpartum period. Intensivist should not delay in the diagnosis of AFLP due to its morbid complications and high mortality. Early diagnosis, prompt pregnancy delivery, and intensive care support in the peripartum and postpartum periods may improve maternal and fetal outcomes
