Mediastinal and Retro-Orbital Emphysema Following an Uncomplicated Endoscopic Sphincterotomy
(2005) Aydin, M.; Kisli, E.; Ozgoren, E.; Soylemez, O.; Baser, M.; Aslaner, A.
We report a case of mediastinal and bilateral retro-orbital emphysema following an uncomplicated endoscopic sphincterotomy. The concurrent presence of these complications following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is rare. The simultaneous occurrence of these two complications in the same patient has not been previously reported in the literature. Furthermore, we define the first case of mediastinal and bilateral retro-orbital emphysema following endoscopic sphincterotomy.
Multiple Bowel Perforations in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
(2005) Aydin, M.; Baser, M.; Kösem, M.; Aslaner, A.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a connective tissue disorder that has rarely been seen with acute surgical manifestations. Intestinal perforation is one of the most devastating complications of SLE which necessitates prompt surgical intervention. We report a case having multiple intestinal perforations on exploration and has undergone primary repair. SLE should be taken into account as a diagnosis of choice in patients with bowel perforation.
The Role of Octreotide Versus Placebo in the Prevention of Post-Ercp Pancreatitis
(H G E Update Medical Publishing S A, 2007) Kisli, E.; Baser, M.; Aydin, M.; Guler, O.
Background/Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of a single administration of intravenous octreotide infusion in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis and progressing hyperamylasemia. Methodology: One hundred and twenty (71 female, 59 male) patients who had been diagnosed with pancreaticobiliary pathology were included in this study. 100 microgram (0.1mg) octreotide diluted in 60mL normal saline solution administered intravenously 60 minutes prior to the procedure and continued during the procedure and after the procedure. Placebo was given in 87 patients. Patients were assessed clinically and serum amylase level was also measured before the procedure and 3, 12, and 24 hours after the procedure. We define clinical pancreatitis as serum amylase level greater than 4-5 times in conjunction with clinical assessment. Results: Hyperamylasemia was assessed in 14 of 33 (42.4%) administered octreotide patients. Clinical findings of pancreatitis were observed in 5 of these 14 (11.5%) patients. Hyperamylasemia was also assessed in 41 of 87 (47.1%) administered placebo patients. Clinical findings of pancreatitis were observed in 10 of these 41 (11.5) patients. There were no significant differences between the groups, statistically (p > 0.05) (Pearson chi-square test). Conclusions: The results of this trial indicate that a single administration of intravenous octreotide infusion does not prevent ERCP-induced pancreatitis and effect serum amylase level.
Sleep Quality in Patients With Hemorrhoids
(2003) Kisli, E.; Agargun, M.Y.; Inci, R.; Ozturk, T.; Baser, M.
Night symptoms such as itchy and constipation may disturb sleep and worsen sleep quality in patients with hemorrhoids. The aim of this study was examine sleep quality in these patients. Thirty patients with external hemorrhoids (15 males and 15 females) participated in the study. A control group comprised 30 healthy subjects (15 males and 15 females). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which is an instrument with previously established reliability and validity, was administered to assess sleep quality during previous month. Habitual sleep efficiency scores and global PSQI scores of the patients with hemorrhoids were significantly higher than the controls' scores. In patients with hemorrhoids, subjective sleep quality is poor. Constipation and pruritus may disturb sleep and worsen sleep quality. Improved sleep may be an important treatment focus in the clinical management of these patients.
An Unusual Choledochal Echinococcosis
(2006) Kisli, E.; Baser, M.; Kotan, Ç.; Arslantürk, H.H.; Etlik, Ö.; Bayram, I.
Hydatid disease caused by the Echinococcus granulosus is a common health problem in Turkey, Middle East and Mediterranean Countries. The most affected organs are the liver and the lungs. The other organ involvements such as spleen, kidney, brain and muscle are rare. Here we present a case of hydatid cyst of the choledochus with an inactive group of liver hydatid cyst, producing obstructive jaundice.
