Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative hypoalbuminemia on the development of intra-abdominal septic complications (IASCs) after primary anastomosis for patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Methods All CD patients undergoing bowel resection with a primary anastomosis during the study period from 2007 to 2015 were enrolled. The association of preoperative hypo...

background the nasal septal deviation (nsd) is one of the major causes of nasal obstruction. this condition increases upper airway resistance. in this study we evaluated the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mpap) in patients with markedly deviated septum. methods sixty two patients with nsd (age range: 26-45 years, 34 men and 28 women) were included in the study. mean pulmonary artery pressure w...

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of direct-interrupting surgery on gastric mucosal congestion in patients with esophageal varices. Fifteen such patients underwent endoscopy in the preoperative, early postoperative and late postoperative periods. The index of local blood volume (lHb) and that of oxygen saturation (1802) were endoscopically measured using a tissue reflectance sp...

OBJECTIVE This study summarises the outcomes of 149 patients who underwent surgery for antenatally diagnosed unilateral hydronephrosis. METHODS The medical records of such patients over a 23-year period were reviewed retrospectively. Age at the time of operation, preoperative and postoperative mean pelvic diameter on ultrasound, split renal function, washout patterns on scintigraphy, and earl...

tubal pregnancies are common but presence of hydatidiform mole in tube is a rare entity. a woman of 53years presented with acute abdomen, preoperative pregnancy test was positive and ultrasonography suspected the case as hydatidiform mole in right tube. the patient was treated with total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy as her family was completed. subsequent histopat...

OBJECTIVE To study the influence of anatomic preoperative characteristics (based on the parameter, foveal central thickness, measured by optical coherence tomography) and functional characteristics (based on the parameter, best corrected visual acuity, [BCVA]) on functional recovery after epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery. METHODS A total of 88 eyes (of 86 patients), on whom a vitrectomy due ...

OBJECTIVES Upper air obstruction leads hypoxia, it is also known that S-100B levels increase by glial activations indicate cerebral hypoxic injury. This study aimed to evaluate the preoperative and postoperative S-100B levels in children with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study comprised 40 patients with indications for tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy followi...

Objective. The purpose of this study is to determine the changes in oxidative damage and antioxidant parameters in open heart surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in preoperative and early postoperative periods. Methods. A total of three consecutive arterial blood samples were obtained from the patients in the study group, in preoperative, early postoperative, and postoperative periods, ...

The anaesthetic management of adenotonsillectomy in children with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is characteristic due to respiratory and cardiac side effects. A detailed physical examination in the preoperative period should be performed, including children's respiratory and cardiac systems. If they have an active infection, surgery should be postponed until the end of medical treatment. Pr...

Introduction: Blockade of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) with ACE inhibitors (ACEi) or Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) is common in patients being treating for hypertension and cardiovascular disease [1]. Evidence is limited to guide anesthesiologists in the management of these drugs in the preoperative period [2]. Practice ranges from stopping or continuing these drugs on every pat...
