(Hindawi Ltd, 2010) Sumer, Aziz; Carparlar, M. Ali; Uslukaya, Omer; Bayrak, Vedat; Kotan, Cetin; Kemik, Ozgur; Iliklerden, Umit
We report on a case of gossypiboma. A 54-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with abdominal mass. She had undergone a caesarean operation 23 years previously. The mass in the right abdominal quadrant was suspected by abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The mass was removed by laparotomy excision and the final diagnosis was gossypiboma.
Intrahepatic Splenosis After Splenectomy Performed for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
(Aves, 2015) Toktas, Osman; Yavuz, Alpaslan; Iliklerden, Umit; Yilmaz, Deniz; Bayram, Irfan
The term splenosis describes autotransplantation or implantation of ectopic splenic tissue within the abdominal cavity or in any other unusual body compartment. In addition to the diagnostic dilemma it causes, splenosis may also lead to persistence or recurrence of hematologic dysfunctions by its preserved immune activity especially in cases of splenectomy due to hematologic indications. Herein, we present a 40-year-old female who had splenectomy for idiopatic thrombocytopenic purpura, and was identified to have splenic tissue within left lobe of the liver during further assessment of ongoing thrombocytopenia.
Small Bowel Obstruction Due To Mesodiverticular Band of Meckel's Diverticulum: a Case Report
(Hindawi Ltd, 2010) Sumer, Aziz; Kemik, Ozgur; Olmez, Aydemir; Dulger, A. Cumhur; Hasirci, Ismail; Iliklerden, Umit; Kotan, Cetin
Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. Common complications related to a Meckel's diverticulum include haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, and inflammation. Small bowel obstruction due to mesodiverticular band of Meckel's diverticulum is a rare complication. Herein, we report the diagnosis and management of a small bowel obstruction occurring due to mesodiverticular band of a Meckel's diverticulum.
Transcervical Resection of Two Parathyroid Adenomas Located on the Anterior Mediastinum
(Aves, 2018) Toktas, Osman; Iliklerden, Umit; Yerlikaya, Baran; Kotan, Cetin; Batur, Abdussamet
The mediastinum is a possible location of ectopic parathyroid adenoma. Most ectopic parathyroid glands in the mediastinum are found in the superior mediastinum within the thymus. In this article, two cases with ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenomas that were excised via transcervical resection are presented. Preoperative examination of the two cases was performed. Laboratory tests supported hyperparathyroidism. For both patients, the results of radiologic and scintigraphic examinations of the cases were compatible with parathyroid adenoma masses in the anterior mediastinum. Transcervical resection was performed via suprasternal incision through the sternal notch and the posterior wall of the sternum space by blunt dissection with the finger. The soft lesions were removed en bloc in both cases. The parathyroid hormone levels of the two cases decreased dramatically after the operation. Transcervical resection may be an alternative method to major surgery in anterior mediastinal small masses.
