    Abstract Objective: In current literature, no studies evaluated effect of energy-based vessel-sealing-devices on quality of life after sutureless total thyroidectomies. This study aimed to identify any potential differences between two energy-based vessel-sealing-devices (Harmonic Focus, Ligasure LF1212) in patients with benign thyroid disorders who underwent sutureless total thyroidectomy.
    Materials and methods: Differences in quality of life of patients were evaluated using data obtained by Thy-PRO-39-Tr questionnaire prior to and four-week after surgery. Total and domain-based alterations in quality of life were compared between groups according to energy-based vessel-sealing-devices type (Group L, Group H). Additionally, data including demographics, height, weight, body mass index, neck circumference, sternomental distance were collected.
    Results: Of 1032 patients, 200 were eligible for study, at the end 193 were analysed. There were no differences between groups in terms of age, sex, body mass index, tobacco use. Analysis did not reveal any differences in overall quality of life between groups (P = .42). However, in "eye symptoms" (P < .001) and "cognitive functions" (P = .002) domains, Harmonic provided statistically improved quality of life. Effect on cognitive function was greater in patients of advanced age.
    Conclusions: Especially in elderly patients with worsening eye conditions and cognitive functions, use of Harmonic may enhance patients' outcome by increasing quality of life in addition to optimizing surgical outcome when compared to Ligasure.

    Abstract Background: Axillary lymph node status is one of the most important prognostic factors for breast cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after mastectomy is highly controversial. There is not enough data about SLNB in the early period after nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). This study investigated the feasibility of SLNB in the early postoperative period of NSM.
    Materials and methods: Patients who were operated on for breast cancer in Acibadem Maslak Hospital between 2009 and 2018 were searched retrospectively. Results of SLNB as the second session in patients whose final pathology report revealed breast carcinoma after contralateral/bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and mastectomy for benign lesions were evaluated.
    Results: In the early period (median 14 days) after NSM, SLNB was performed by intradermal radioisotope injection in five patients with occult breast cancer in contralateral/bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and in one patient with preoperatively suspicious mass which yielded breast cancer at final pathology. In five (80%) patients, SLNB was performed, whereas in one patient axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) was performed due to the undetectability of SLN. In one patient, micrometastasis was observed, whereas no metastasis was observed in other patients including the one who underwent ALND. No complication due to SLNB was detected. No recurrence and distant metastasis were detected in a mean follow-up of 42.82 (19-70) months. While SLNB did not change the treatment of patients with contralateral occult carcinoma, other patients had hormonal therapy due to negative SLNB.
    Conclusion: SLNB in the early postoperative period of NSM can be performed by intradermal radioisotope injection. However, further studies are needed to determine the feasibility of SLNB in the early postoperative period of NSM.

    Abstract Background: Preoperative evaluation of axillary lymph node status is very important for the choice of primary treatment in breast cancer. This study assessed predictive properties of positron emission tomography-computerized tomography for axillary lymph node metastasis.
    Methods: Patients who were operated between 2014-2019 for early breast cancer and who had preoperative positron emission tomography-computerized tomography images were included. Positron emission tomography-computerized tomography results and histopathologic results were compared retrospectively.
    Results: Medical records of 223 patients who were operated for early breast cancer and have had positron emission tomography-computerized tomography were evaluated. positron emission tomography-computerized tomography revealed that axillary lymph node status is positive in 97 patients and negative in 126 patients. In histopathological examination, tumor cells were found in 86 patients, of those 27 were negative while 59 were positive in positron emission tomography-computerized tomography. Furthermore, 137 patients were free from tumor cells, in which 99 were negative and 38 were positive in positron emission tomography-computerized tomography. Positive and negative predictive value of positron emission tomography-computerized tomography for metastatic axillary lymph nodes were found 60.8% and 78.5%, respectively.
    Conclusions: Clinically, positron emission tomography-computerized tomography has low negative predictivity for determination of axilla in early stage or operable breast cancer. Even though it is valuable for the systematic scanning, positron emission tomography-computerized tomography can be overlooked for axillary evolution.

    Abstract Introduction: A mesocolic plane, central vascular ligation (CVL) and proper proximal-distal margins are the essential components of complete mesocolic excision (CME). In the transmesocolic approach, we identify the middle colic vessels and enter the lesser sac through the mesocolon for ascending colon and caecum tumors.
    Aim: To investigate the feasibility and identify the technical details of this technique.
    Material and methods: The clinical and pathological findings of 26 patients who had undergone laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with CME between 2010 and 2020 were collected retrospectively. All operation videos were recorded and reviewed by the authors with regard to the components of CME. In the transmesocolic approach, dissection starts with identification of the middle colic vessels directly. After division of the middle colic vessels, we enter the omental bursa and dissection continues from superior to inferior direction.
    Results: There were 26 patients in the study. The mean age was 59.3 ±16.1. There were 15 female and 11 male patients with a mean body mass index of 25.9 ±16.1 kg/m
    Conclusions: The transmesocolic approach seems to be feasible and safe for CME in right sided colon cancers. However, more prospective randomized studies are needed to use the transmesocolic approach as a standard technique.

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer is the most frequently detected cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Although it is mostly seen in older patients, breast cancer affects women aged 24 to >70 years, with poorer prognosis in young patients. Young age remains a controversial topic in the literature. This study aimed to identify subtype differences and the effect of age on early-stage breast cancer outcomes.
    Methods: A total of 300 consecutive patients underwent surgery between 2011 and 2015 for early-stage breast cancer. Of these, 248 were eligible for this study and were divided into three groups: group Y (aged ≤35 years), group M (aged >35 and ≤45 years), and group E (aged >45 years). The clinical and pathological features and data related to recurrence, metastasis, and death were recorded.
    Results: No statistical differences were found between groups regarding histopathological features except for higher histological grade and Ki-67 levels in group M. Additionally, group Y recorded no progression (recurrence or metastasis) or death. Disease-free survival was 117.8 months (95% CI 111.8-123.8) for group M, which was significantly shorter than that for group E (
    Conclusion: A very young age cannot be considered an independent risk factor for poor prognosis. Rather than age, histological grade and Ki-67 index are more important factors in early-stage breast cancer.

    Abstract Background: This study investigates the effects of COVID-19 on the breast cancer stage and the volume of breast cancer surgery in a specialized breast institute.
    Methods: Data of 332 patients who were diagnosed and treated for breast cancer between December 2019 and November 2020 were evaluated retrospectively according to periods of pandemic.
    Results: A significant decrease in the number of operations, especially upfront surgeries rather than surgeries after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, was detected in the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that patients with complaints were mostly admitted during this period (
    Conclusion: Surgical volume is significantly affected in the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic. To overcome overload due to delayed surgeries related to pandemics, some hospitals should be spared for oncological treatments. Following the early period, mostly luminal type, early-stage patients were admitted, probably because of increased self-awareness and short wave duration, but the breast cancer stage was not affected.

    Abstract Metastasis is the second most common type of adrenal gland mass. In patients undergoing follow-up for nonadrenal malignancy, adrenalectomy is performed when metastasis to adrenal gland is suspected on the basis of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging. This study investigated the efficacy of PET-CT in the discrimination of metastatic lesions from nonmetastatic lesions in the adrenal glands. In this multicentric study, data was collected from enrolled centers. Forty-one patients who underwent surgery for suspected adrenal metastases were evaluated retrospectively. The following data types were collected: demographic, primary tumor, maximum standardized uptake value of adrenal mass (a-SUVx) and detectability in computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging, and specimen size and histopathology. Six patients were excluded due to unavailability of PET-CT reports and 4 for being primary adrenal malignancy. The rest were divided into 2 groups (metastatic: n = 17, 55% and nonmetastatic: n = 14, 45%) according to histopathology reports. There was no statistical difference between the analyzed values, except the a-SUVx (P < .05). The a-SUVx cutoff value was defined as 5.50 by receiver operating characteristic curves and compared with literature. There was no statistical difference when each group was divided as low and high (P > .05). It was found that PET-CT was able to discriminate metastatic lesions from primary benign lesions (P = .022). PET-CT can discriminate primary benign lesions and metastatic lesions by cutoff 5.5 value for a-SUVx.

    Abstract Background: Up to 33% risk of occult contralateral inguinal hernia has been reported. This study aims to evaluate diagnostic and treatment modalities in the case of occult contralateral hernia and the role of ultrasonography (USG).
    Materials and methods: Patients who had undergone inguinal hernia repair between 2009 and 2018 were studied retrospectively. The detection rate of occult inguinal hernia by USG and results of laparoscopic totally extra peritoneal repair (TEP) were evaluated.
    Results: Of 295 patients, USG was performed to the contralateral site in 80 with clinically unilateral hernia and occult hernia was detected in 44 (55%). Bilateral TEP was performed for these patients. There was no recurrence and no significant complication.
    Conclusions: As it is noninvasive, easily accessible and has high sensitivity, USG is recommended in diagnosis. In the case of occult contralateral inguinal hernia, bilateral TEP is considered as a safe procedure. Thus, the need for a second operation and related complications can be prevented. We recommend routine USG to detect whether contralateral occult inguinal hernia is present.

    Abstract Background: Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) is considered the gold standard treatment in adults with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) refractory to medical therapy. However, the retrieval of the spleen in LS is still a technical challenge, despite the use of various commercial retrieval bags. This study reports the feasibility and reliability of using a saline bag for spleen retrieval in a reduced port splenectomy.
    Methods: Between 2007 and 2020, 55 consecutive patients underwent LS for ITP. Data were collected retrospectively. To retrieve the spleen, a 1 liter sterile saline bag was used.
    Results: Fifty-five patients underwent LS. There was only one complication related to the saline bag: an iatrogenic ileal injury during the morselization process.
    Conclusion: One-liter saline bag is feasible, and widely available. No additional instruments or cost is required and there is no need to extend the wound for spleen retrieval during LS.
