BACKGROUND The extent of lymphadenectomy during laparoscopic right colectomy can affect the oncological outcome and the safety of surgery. The principle of complete mesocolic excision (CME) has been gradually accepted and increasingly applied by colorectal surgeons. The aim of this study is to investigate whether extended lymphadenectomy (CME) in laparoscopic colectomy could improve the oncolog...

This work is aimed to describe linearly expand-contract plastic ellipsoids given via quadratic form of a bounded positively defined self-adjoint operator in terms its spectrum.Let $Y$ be metric space and $F\colon Y\to Y$ map. $F$ called non-expansive if it does not increase distance between points the $Y$. We say that subset $M$ normed $X$ (briefly an LEC-plastic) every linear $T\colon X \to X$...

Right-sided colon cancers (RCC) and left-sided (LCC) have different epidemiological, physiological, pathological, genetic, clinical characteristics, which result in differences the course, prognosis, outcome of disease. The objective our study is to compare right-sided regarding clinicopathological survival characteristics. This a retrospective 664 patients with cancer treated at medical oncolo...

Lymph node metastasis to the iliac or inguinal region of colon cancer is extremely rare. We experienced a case of ascending colon cancer with synchronous isolated right external iliac and inguinal lymph node metastases but without any regional lymph node metastasis. An 83-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to anemia. Colonoscopy and computed tomography revealed an ascending colon c...

Hydatid disease is very common in endemic areas and is one of the most frequent parasitoses in Turkey. We present a rare case of hydatidosis related to the right hepatic colon lumen. Hydatid cysts were present on the liver, in the right adrenal region, and also on the hepatic flexura, surrounded by the right colon and omentum. In our case, a cyst adjacent to the ascending colon had ruptured int...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine which was the optimal side for the conduit to be placed (right or left colon) for antegrade continence enema implantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between July 1999 and March 2006, 31 patients underwent the construction of a catheterizable conduit using the Malone principle (MACE) In 22 cases the conduit was re-implanted in the right colon and in ...
