Öğe Adaptive changes of bowel in rats with various length of thiry-vella fistulas(2011) Akçora, BülentPurpose: The aim of the current experimental study was to determine interaction between functional and dysfunctional bowel segments in terms of structural changes in the gut mucosa. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two male rats were divided into four groups in which following operations were performed respectively: Group 1; sham operation, Group 2; 5% Thiry-Vella fistula, Group 3; 80% Thiry-Vella fistula, and Group 4; 5% Thiry-Vella fistula plus 75% bowel resection. At the end of the 14 days, ileum in continuity and Thiry-Vella fistula samples were examined histologically. Results: Mucosal thickness in ileal samples in continuity were 605±24 µ, 615±14 µ, 731±16 µ, 860±44 µ, in Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Group 3 and Group 4 were significantly different from other groups (p<0.05). Mucosal thickness in Thiry-Vella fistula samples were 335±5.4 µ, 425±7.7 µ, 528±42 µ in Group 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Each group was significantly different from eachother (p<0.05). Conclusion: While intestinal adaptive changes related to SBS in continuity were not occurred apparently in Group 3, ileal mucosal thickness increased significantly in Group 4. Long segment Thiry-Vella fistula might have decreased adaptation in functional bowel probably by consuming of systemic factors.Öğe An atypical bladder diverticulum presented with recurrent peritonitis : Case report(2011) Temiz, Abdulkerim; Akçora, Bülent; Atik, EsinMesane divertikülleri detrusor kasının doğuştan zayıflığından kaynaklanır.

Bu yazıda, perfore apandisiti taklit eden ve perforasyon olmadan tekrarlayan jeneralize peritonite neden olan mesane divertikülü olan bir olgu sunuldu.Öğe Çocuklarda anorektal travma sonucu gelişen rektum perforasyonu : İki olgu sunumu(2011) Temiz, Abdülkerim; Akçora, Bülent; Temiz, Muhyittin; Aslan, AhmetAnorektal yaralanma çocuklarda nadir görülen bir klinik tablodur. Rektum ve diğer intrapelvik organların yaralanmaya eşlik etmesi açısından da önemlidir. Olgu 1: Karın ağrısı ve kusma şikayetleri ile başvuran 9 yaşındaki erkek hastada, karında yaygın hassasiyet ve defans tespit edildi. Ayakta karın grafisinde diyafragma altında serbest hava izlendi. Ameliyatta rektum ve mesane perforasyonu tespit edildi. Yara onarımı ve sigmoid kolostomi yapıldı. Olgu 2: Altı yaşında kız hasta, ağaçtan düşme sonrası gelişen perineal yaralanma nedeniyle kliniğimize başvurdu. Fizik muayenesinde perinede anal kanaldan yaklaşık 4 cm uzaklıkta, 2 cm çaplı, derin planda ilerleyen perineal yara tespit edildi. Ayakta karın grafisinde diyafragma altında serbest hava gözlendi. Ameliyatta rektum perforasyonu tespit edilen hastada, perforasyon onarımı ve sigmoid kolostomi yapıldı. Anorektal yaralanmalarda morbidite ve mortalitenin azaltılması için erken ve doğru tanı, yaralanmanın şekli ve tipinin doğru belirlenmesi, ek organ yaralanmaların tespiti ve uygun yöntemle tedavisi gereklidir. Tedavide gereken olgularda kolostomiden kaçınılmaması gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.Öğe Çocukta rüptüre akciğer kist hidatiği olgusu(2012) Çelik, Tanju; Akçora, Bülent; Tutanç, Murat; Durgun Yetim, Tülin; Karazincir, Sinem; Akın, Mehmet Mustafa; Çelikkaya, Mehmet Emin; Kurtoğlu, AhmetABSTRACT Hydatid cyst (HD), a very common disease in the world, is often transmitted to humans through dog feces. HD is especially common in countries where agriculture and animal husbandry is prevalent. HD is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The clinic course of HD usually features settling in the liver and lungs. Lung involvement with chest pain, cough, shortness of breath can cause non specific symptoms such as fever and hemoptysis. Diagnostic interventions for HD include chest X-ray tomography, and physical examination. Although the treatment options of HD vary according to the clinical findings of the patients, the primary treatment may be considered as surgery. The most frequently applied methods of surgical treatment are cystectomy and capitonnage. Medical treatment is usually warranted for complicated cases, including the patients with multiple and unresectable lesions, patients who refuse surgery and the patients who cannot tolerate surgery. Treatment with albendazole and its derivatives are used. In this case report, we present a child with primary complaints of cough, chest pain, dyspnea, fatigue and fever who was latterly diagnosed with lung HD.(Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2012; 36: 45-7)Öğe Comparative results after transabdominal Duhamel and Boley procedures in Hirschsprung disease(Logos Medical Publishing, 2019) Çelikkaya, Mehmet Emin; Atici, Ahmet; El, Çi?dem; Urfali, Senem; Akçora, BülentObjective: Hirschsprung Disease (HD) is a neurocristopathy resulting from the migration failure of neural crest cells during intestinal development. It results in aganglionic colon and causes a functional constipation in children. We aimed to compare functional outcomes such as voluntary bowel movements, encopresis and constipation in patients with HD following Boley and Duhamel procedures. Method: Patients who underwent pull through procedures using Boley or Duhamel methods were included in the study. All patients underwent a three-stage operation (opening of the ostomy, definitive operation and closure of the ostomy). Krickenbeck criteria were used to evaluate postoperative functional outcomes including voluntary bowel movements, soiling and constipation. Results: Twenty-seven patients were male and 12 were female. 12 patients underwent Boley and 27 patients Duhamel procedure. In the majority of patients, the pathology was in the rectosigmoid region (n:28, 71.79%). The rates of voluntary bowel movement were 83.33% in the Boley and 85.18% in the Duhamel group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p<0.05). No significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of the frequency and degree of soiling (Duhamel 22.21%, and Boley 16.66%, p>0.05). In the Duhamel group, constipation was more frequent than Boley group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Each technique has advantages and disadvantages compared to each other. In the majority of cases no serious complication is encountered, regardless of which technique is chosen for definitive surgery. It is recommended that the surgeon should continue to use the technique it is accustomed to and does well. © 2019 Turkey Association of Pediatric Surgery.Öğe Corrigendum to “The Efficacy of Shear-Wave Elastography-Performed Simultaneously with Doppler Sonography-For Differentiating Between Testicular Torsion and Epididymo-Orchitis” [J Pediatr Surg 54/8 (2019) 1644–1649](S0022346818308145)(10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2018.12.005)(W.B.

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of somatostatin treatment for decreasing blood loss of uncontrolled liver hemorrhage model in rats.Twenty-one male rats were divided into 3 groups including group 1; nontreatment, group 2; isotonic saline infusion and group 3; isotonic saline plus SMT infusion. Intra-abdominal bleeding was induced by transection of median lobe of liver. Mean arterial pressures (MAP), amount of intra-peritoneal blood collection and hematocrit (Hct) changes were evaluated for 60 minutes.There was no difference in the MAP changes between the groups until 25th minute. Thereafter, MAP remained similar in the group 1 while gradually increased (P < 0.05) in the group 2 and 3. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups 2 and 3. End of study, the highest Hct value was determined in the nontreatment group (41.0 ± 3.26 %) and it significantly different from other two groups. We found increase of Htc value in the group 3 (32.3 ± 2.75 %) when compared with group 2 (29.7 ± 4.19 %), but it was not statistically significant. The highest intra-peritoneal blood volume was determined in group 2. We found decrease of the hemorrhage in the group 3 when compared with the group 2, but it was not statistically significant. Somatostatin using has a tendency, although not statistically significant, to decrease of intraperitoneal hemorrhage from liver in the rat model. © 2009 OMU All rights reserved.Öğe Duodenal hematoma, a rare cause of abdominal pain: Case report(Duzce University Medical School, 2012) Tutanç, Murat; Arica, Vefik; Akçora, Bülent; Davran, Ramazan; Arica, Seçil Günher; Başarslan, Fatmagül; Çelik, TanjuLocalisation of the duodenum is usually retroperitoneal and its exposure to trauma is rare. But any damage to the duodenum can have serious consequences. Duodenal hematoma most commonly develops after abdominal blunt trauma. We present a six-year-old boy with duodenal hematoma as a rare cause of abdominal pain. © 2012 Düzce Medical Journal.Öğe Öğe Effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester on renal damage in rabbits with partial ureteral obstruction(2009) Akçora, Bülent; Altu?, Muhammed Enes; Hakverdi, Sibel; Kontaş, Tünay; Öztürk, Atakan; Bayraktar, SuphiObstructive urologic diseases may cause renal injury related to intensty and duration of occlusion. In experimental studies, many pharmacological agents were used to decrease the harmful effects of obstruction on kidney. This study was designed to investigate effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on the parsial ureteral obstruction in rabbits. Twenty-one New Zealand rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups each containing 7 animals. Group 1, 2 and 3 were defined as control (sham), partially obstructed, and partially obstructed plus CAPE treatment, respectively. All animals were sacrified at the end of 3 weeks. Malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels were measured. In addition, kidney tissues stained with Hematoxylin-eosine were evaluated using Cleasson's histopathological criteria. MDA, NO and SOD levels were not significantly different among all groups. Mean MPO levels of groups 1, 2 and 3 were 0.22±0.07 U/g protein, 0.36±0.09 U/g protein, 0.27±0.10 U/g protein respectively. A significant increase was found in group 2 when compared to group 1(p<0.05). Kidneys of group 3 were significantly protected in terms of 2 out of 9 histopathologic criteria when compared to group 2 (p<0.05). There was significant difference between group 2 and group 3 in terms 2 out of 9 histopathologic criteria (p<0.05); injury of kidneys in group 3 was less than in group 2. MDA, NO and SOD levels which are used to detect renal injury in complete ureteral obstruction model, did not show any significant difference in partial obstruction model in our study. In the light of our biochemical and histopathologic findings, we can say that CAPE treatment has a tendency to decrease the degree of renal injury in the partial obtruction model. © 2009 OMÜ Tüm Haklari Saklidir.Öğe Effects of probiotic use on bacterial translocation in created rat models with biliary obstructions(Atatürk Üniversitesi, 2019) Çelikkaya, Mehmet Emin; Akçora, Bülent; Hakverdi, Sibel; Özer, Burçin; Ulutaş, Kemal Türker; Duran, NizamiObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of the combined use of probiotic strains on the development of bacterial translocation in addition to liver and intestinal tissue damage due to biliary obstruction in rats. Materials and Methods: Here, 3 groups each consisting of 10 rats were created:group 1 (sham group), group 2 (obstructive jaundice), and group 3 (obstructive jaundice+probiotic). Groups 1 and 2 were given 1 cc physiological saline solution by oral gavage twice a day; group 3 was given a probiotic solution that included Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Enterococcus faecium, and Bifidobacterium longum microorganisms by oral gavage twice a day. Results: Markers for liver damage were also found to be significantly improved (p<0.05) in the treatment group (group 3). Whencompared with groups 2 and 3 in terms of liver histology, damage was found to be significantly more severe in group 2 (p<0.01). With regard to ileal villous depth and ileal inflammation, the pathology was found to be significantly more severe in group 2 than that in group 3 (p<0.05). In blood, spleen, and mesenteric lymph node cultures, group 2 showed a microbiological growth rate of 33.8–58.8%, whereas group 3 showed a microbiological growth rate of 14.3–28.6%. This reduction was evaluated to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our study showed that the combined use of a probiotic in bile duct obstructions reduced bacterial translocation and alleviated pathological changes arising in the liver and terminal ileum histologyÖğe Effects of tranexamic acid on amount of hemorrhage in rats with splenic laceration(2009) Akçora, Bülent; Altu?, Muhammed Enes; Öztürk, Atakan; Özer, CahitThe purpose of this study is to evaluate whether administration of tranexamic acid (TNA), an anti-fibrinolytic drug, would decrease amount of bleeding on splenic laceration model in rats. Fourteen Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into two groups each contain 7 rats. Group 1 was splenic laceration + %0.9 NaCl infusion; group 2 was splenic laceration + %0.9 NaCl infusion + TNA treatment. All rats were sacrificed at the end of 60 minutes. The groups were evaluated in terms of hematocrite changes and the amount of intra-abdominal blood accumulations. There were significant difference between preoperative and post-operative hematocrite (Hct-1 and Hct-2, respectively) levels of the two groups (p<0.05). Hct-2 level of group 2 was higher than that of group 1, but it was not significantly important (P=0.097). Blood loss of rats in group 2 was less than in group 1, but it was not significantly important (P=0.073), as well. We can say that using TNA has a tendency, although not statistically significant, to decrease of intraperitoneal hemorrhage from a lacerated spleen in rats. This treatment method may yield better results when used in other animal species which have similar coagulation properties with human. © 2009 OMÜ Tüm Haklari Saklidir.Öğe Effects of wrist fixation board in children on the complication rates of peripheral venous catheters(Ankara Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, 2019) Atıcı, Ahmet; Çelikkaya, Mehmet Emin; El, Çiğdem; Akçora, BülentPURPOSE: Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion is the most frequently used invasive intervention that is performed in more than 80% of hospitalized children. It is a known that seemingly innocent PIVC may result in various morbidities such as phlebitis, infection, extravasations, and may even lead to mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of a new fixation board (wrist-ankle fixation board) on PIVC lifespan and complications rates in pediatric patients undergoing PIVC insertion in the joint area. Material and methods: A total of 49 patients who were treated in the pediatric surgery ward between June and July 2018 and who underwent PIVC insertion were prospectively followed. The patients were divided into the following two groups: ‘Group 1’ in which a wrist-ankle fixation board was used and ‘Group 2’, which was allocated as the control group using Hypoallergenic Elastic Fixation Tape. PVC life and complications (infiltration, purification, displacement) were recorded. Results: Forty-nine patients were included in the present study and they were divided into the following two groups: 25 patients in Group 1 and 24 patients in Group 2. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of age and gender (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in PIVC lifespan between Groups 1 (31.8 hours) and 2 (29.5 hours) (p = 0.151). The complication rate was noted to be 4% in Group 1 and 29% in Group 2. The difference in complication rates between the two groups was statistically significant (p = 0.02). Conclusions: The rate of complications was lower in pediatric patients with PIVC compared to the other method with the use of a new fixation board (ankle-ankle fixation fixation method). However, no significant results were obtained regarding PIVC life.Öğe EFFECTS OF WRIST FIXATION BOARD IN CHILDREN ON THE COMPLICATION RATES OF PERIPHERAL VENOUS CATHETERS(2019) Atıcı, Ahmet; Çelikkaya, Mehmet Emin; El, Çigdem; Akçora, BülentPURPOSE: Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion isthe most frequently used invasive intervention that is performed inmore than 80% of hospitalized children.

Materials and Methods: Records of 142 children who underwent bronchoscopy due to foreign body aspiration between March 2013 and April 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The data of 20 patients who cooperated with the spirometry process were included in this study (Group 1). Twenty patients who were admitted to the routine pediatric surgeon polyclinic without any lung problem and pain complaints were included in the study as a control group (Group 2). Forced expiratory flow rate (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, and forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of forced vital capacity (FEF 25–75) parameters were recorded in the first second. Results: Based on the statistical analysis results, there was no significant effect of age, sex, and BMI on FEV1, FVC, and FEF 25–75 values. The effect of bronchoscopy procedure on the same values, the difference between FEV1 and FVC values was statistically significant, whereas the difference between FEV1/FVC and FEF 25–75 values was not statistically significant for Groups 1 and 2. Conclusion: There was no long-term negative effect on lung capacities assessed using spirometry in our patients who received early-diagnosis and intervention within 24 h.Öğe A giant pulmonary hydatid cyst causing respiratory failure: Case report(2010) Akçora, Bülent; Karcio?lu, Murat; Tutanç, Murat; Davran, Ramazan; Inano?lu, Kerem; Temiz, AbdulkerimThe clinical signs of hydatidosis depend on the size and location of the cyst. Small pulmonary cysts are usually asymptomatic unless it they show complications such as perforation and enfection. However, large cysts may be symptomatic by compression of the adjacent vital organs. We report a 6-year-old girl with huge hidatid cyst in the left hemithorax, who required emergency surgical intervention because of respiratory distress. © 2010 Düzce Medical Journal.Öğe Graves’ disease with exophtalmia in a two-year old child(2011) Yalçın, Hülya; Akçora, Bülent; Balcı, AliThyrotoxicosis is one of the rare disorders diagnosed in childhood and adolescence. The most frequent cause is Graves disease. One of the Graves' disease complications is thyroid-associated orbitopathy. A 2-year-old girl was referred to our hospital for decreased weight gain. Her physical examination was normal except for a palpable thyroid tissue and exophtalmia. After laboratory examination, she was referred to the departments of nuclear medicine and radiology for the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism and Graves ophthalmia. When evaluated with the physical examination, laboratory and imaging results the patient was diagnosed as Graves’ disease with orbital involvement. So the patient was taken on methimazole treatment.

Aganglionik kolon ile sonuçlanır ve çocuklarda fonksiyonel kabızlığa neden olur. Bu çalışmada, Boley ve Duhamel yöntemlerinin ardından HD’li hastalarda istemli barsak hareketleri, dışkı kaçırma ve kabızlık gibi fonksiyonel sonuçları karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Boley veya Duhamel yöntemleri ile abdominal pull through yapılan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm hastalara üç aşamalı operasyon uygulandı (ostomi açılması, definitif operasyon ve ostomi kapanması). İstemli bağırsak hareketi, dışkı kaçırma ve kabızlık dahil olmak üzere postoperatif fonksiyonel sonuçları değerlendirmek için Krickenbeck kriterleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların 27’si erkek, 12’si kadındı. On iki hastaya Boley, 27 hastaya Duhamel yöntemi ile pull-through uygulandı. Hastaların çoğunda patoloji rektosigmoid bölgede idi (n: %28 71.79). Boley grubunda istemli bağırsak hareket oranı %83,33, Duhamel grubunda %85,18 idi. İki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu (p>0,05). İki grup arasında dışkı kaçırma sıklığı ve derecesi açısından anlamlı fark bulunmadı (Duhamel %22,21, Boley %16,66, p>0,05). Duhamel grubunda kabızlık Boley grubundan daha fazlaydı (p<0,05). Tartışma: Her tekniğin birbirilerine göre avantaj ve dezavantajları vardır. Definitif cerrahide hangi tekniğin seçildiğinden bağımsız olarak vakaların çoğunda ciddi bir komplikasyona rastlanmaz. Cerrahın alıştığı ve iyi yaptığı tekniği kullanmaya devam etmesi önerilir.Öğe İnternal juguler flebektazi: İki olgu sunumu(2007) Akçora, Bülent; Karazincir, Sinem; Balcı, Ali; Fansa, İyad; Temiz, Abdülkerim; Sangün, Özleminternal juguler flebektazi (İJF) genellikle ağlama, öksürme ve Valsalva gibi intratorasik basıncı artıran manevralar sırasında, boyunda belirgin hale gelen şişlik şeklinde kendini gösterir.

Her ne kadar bu lezyonların çoğu cerrahi olarak eksize edilse de, asemptomatik vakalar konservatif olarak izlenmelidir.Öğe Is fixation suture necessary in undescended testicle surgery?(İnönü Üniversitesi, 2019) Atıcı, Ahmet; Çelikkaya, Mehmet Emin; Akçora, BülentAim: It is still controversial whether or not testicular fixation is required for undescended testes surgery. In this study, we aimed to compare the results of the patients with undescended testis in a single center, who underwent orchiopexy with or without transfixation suture. Material and Methods: The medical records of the patients with undescended testes who were operated at our tertiary pediatric surgery department were retrospectively analyzed between July 2015 and November 2018. Patients were divided into two groups as fixation performed (Group 1) and not performed (Group 2). Group 1 included n=30 patients (40 testes) and Group 2 included n=41 patients (49 testes). The age of the patients, type of undescended testis, surgical technique and complication rates were determined Results: The mean age of the patients was 37.2 (12-104) months in Group 1 and 41.2 (12-110) months in Group 2. In both groups, complications such as recurrence, testicular atrophy, testis torsion, and hernia or hydrocele formation were not observed. One patient in Group 2 developed wound infection, which was recovered with antibiotic treatment. Conclusion: As a result of the short-term follow-up of our study, there was no clinically significant difference between the two groups. Therefore, we recommend the use of other techniques that do not include parenchymal suture fixation during orchiopexy, and avoiding the routine use of testicular parenchymal sutures if possible.
