    Abstract Gossypiboma refers to foreign bodies left inside the body during surgery, such as sponges and gauze. These foreign bodies represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. A 57-year-old female presented to us with right upper abdominal pain. Her past history was non-contributory except for an open cholecystectomy 20 years previously. A physical examination revealed tenderness to palpation on the right of the abdomen, while the remaining examination was normal. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed a well-defined calcified mass of 5 cm that was compatible with a mesenteric cyst. During surgery, the mass was found to be adherent to the mesocolon and to have invaded the colon wall. A right hemicolectomy and ileotransverse anastomosis was performed. The pathological mass was considered to be a gossypiboma that had been left behind during the earlier cholecystectomy. The body's reaction to the foreign body was seen to extend beyond the lamina propria and muscularis propria. Gossypiboma is an undesired and life-threatening but preventable surgical complication. This condition may present with non-specific findings and a clinical scenario that mimics various disorders, even after many years. A diagnosis of gossypiboma should be kept in mind for patients with a history of previous operations and undergoing surgery due to the suspicion of a mesenteric cyst.

    Abstract Purpose: Bibliometric and Altmetric analyse the most influental publications and provide important perspectives regarding article impact. The Altmetric Score (AS) is an automatically calculated metric for monitoring social media attention. The hypothesis is that would citation number correlate positively with AS?
    Methods: Gastric cancer as a search term was entered into Thomson Reuter's Web of Science database to identify articles in the last decade. The 50 most cited articles were analysed by topic, journal, author, year, and AS.
    Results: By bibliometric criteria, it was observed that there were 63,154 articles published in the literature on gastric cancer in the last decade. The most cited article was made by Bang et al for the treatment of HER2-positive advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer. The study with the highest altmetric score was published by Bass et al and described the molecular evaluation of gastric cancer as part of the cancer genome atlas. The majority of the top 50 most cited article types were original scientific papers (n=39). The highest number of publications was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (n=9) and the most contributing country was the United States (n=22). Positive correlation was detected between the number of citations and AS. We revealed a negative correlation between AS and numbers of years since publication of the article.
    Conclusion: The remarkable result of this study is that both the citation and AS of the articles provide important but different viewpoints.

    Abstract Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a widely accepted procedure that has gained popularity among both bariatric surgeons and patients. There is still limited data in the literature on the formation of gallstones following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, and so the present study determines the incidence of and potential risk factors related to the development of gallstones following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The data of patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at a single center due to morbid obesity between January 2014 and December 2017 was retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups, as those with gallstones detected on ultrasound at 12 months and those without gallstones. Data of the two groups was compared. BMI did not differ significantly between patients with positive (+) and negative (-) ultrasound findings (p > 0.05). Aside from age, hypertension, and coronary artery disease, other preoperative parameters showed no significant association with the development of gallstones in USG (-) and USG (+) patients. The present study identified no significant relationship between a decrease in BMI following LSG and the postoperative development of gallstones. Preoperative hypertension and coronary artery disease were found to be significantly related to the development of gallstones after surgery. The authors suggest that patients with preexisting CAD and hypertension in the preoperative period must be followed-up with ultrasound more meticulously.

    Abstract Aim: The presence and frequency of surgical complications indicate the quality of the surgery performed. However, a standard classification system should specify, describe, and compare complications. Clavien Dindo classification is an easily applicable classification in the evaluation of complications. Our study aimed to reveal the severity of complications and the factors affecting them by using the Clavien Dindo classification in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
    Methods: Between January 2015 and December 2020, we retrospectively collected the laparoscopic colorectal surgery complications using Clavien Dindo grading in patients in our colorectal surgery unit in the database. The outcome variables studied were age, gender, BMI, ASA score, postoperative length of hospital stay, operation procedure, cancer size, postoperative mortality.
    Results: There were 53 males and 17 female patients, with a mean age of 56,9±13,4.(19-81). Seventy patients, 32 (45%), had at least one postoperative complication. About complications; 58.6% were rated as Clavien I, 22.9% as Clavien II, 8.6% as Clavien IIIa, 4.3% as Clavien IIIb, 2.9% as Clavien IVa, and 2.9% as Clavien V. There was no Clavien grade IVb complication in any of the patients. Length of hospital stays was significantly higher in patients with had major complex surgery and had higher scores. Clavien Dindo classification was positively statistically significantly related to the day of hospitalization in male and female sex (p<0.001 for all). In addition, positively significantly related to Clavien Dindo classation and tumor diameter in the female sex (p=0.014) detected.
    Conclusions: In laparoscopic colorectal surgery, the Clavien-Dindo classification can be easily applied and used safely to determine complication rates. The reason for this statistical difference that we detected in our study and that occurs in women may be due to anatomical differences or the surgeon's experience.

    Abstract Introduction: Brigatinib is a next-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor that targets a wide variety of ALK mutations and ROS1 rearrangements. While pancreatic enzyme elevations due to brigatinib are well known, we wanted to present a case that caused liver toxicity.
    Case report: ALK and ROS1 translocations were detected in a 58-year-old patient diagnosed with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. In the patient who had a good response with brigatinib, more than 5-fold elevation was detected in liver enzymes at the fifth month of treatment.
    Management & outcome: After excluding other hepatitis factors, the patient was thought to have autoimmune hepatitis, and methylprednisolone was started and liver enzymes were decreased.
    Discussion: Increased creatine kinase and lipase levels are common side effects associated with brigatinib, while liver toxicity is rare. Autoimmune hepatitis due to brigatinib was considered because of hepatic toxicity that developed in the fifth month of treatment and responded well to steroids.

    Abstract Pelvic exenteration is a highly morbid operation and remains one of the most catastrophic surgical procedures in gynecological oncology. We would like to present the case of total pelvic exenteration for vaginal cancer after radiotherapy for endometrial cancer as a secondary cancer. A 62-year-old woman, whose gravida: 3, parity: 2, body mass index: 35.9 kg/m², presented with complaints of vaginal bleeding. She had undergone a surgery because of a stage IB grade 2 endometrioid-type adenocarcinoma seventeen years previously. Following the surgery, she had external pelvic radiotherapy and brachytherapy. A palpable, solid and ulcerative mass was detected extending from the vaginal cuff area to the vestibulum vagina on the left postero-lateral wall of the vagina. The 5-cm vaginal mass was seen at vaginal examination. A punch biopsy from a pathological examination of the tumoral lesion was reported as a squamous cell carcinoma. Pelvic exenteration was performed and ileo-perineal fistula occurred after six months this surgery. In conclusion, we considered that this malignancy was a secondary malignancy induced by radiotherapy.

    Abstract Aim: Laparoscopic appendectomy is increasingly used in the treatment of acute appendicitis. We aimed in the present report to evaluate the reliability of the Hem-o-Lok clip used in appendix stump capping for occluding orifice .
    Material and methods: In this study, sequential laparoscopic appendectomy cases, in whom Hem-o-Lok clips was employed, in a single center between January 2017 and June 2020 because of acute appendicitis were retrospectively analyzed.
    Results: The study was completed with a total of 305 cases who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy with hem-o-lok clips within the specified date range. There were no intraoperative complications in any of the cases. The number of women was 94 (30.8%) and the number of men was 211 (69.2%). The average age was 32.7 years. There were 275 (90.2%) patients without appendix perforations and 30 (9.8%) patients with perforations.Postoperative complications occurred in 13 patients. Surgical site infection in five patients, mechanical intestinal in two patients, intraabdominal abscess in five patients, and hematoma at the trocar entry site in one patient were observed. There were no intraoperative complications in any of the patients.
    Conclusions: Hem-o-Lok clip can be applied safely in laparoscopic appendectomy for the capping of the appendix stump, with its easy-to-use and low-cost features.
    Key words: Acute appendicitis, Laparoscopic appendectomy, Hem-o-lok clip.
