Abstract
A 61-year-old male patient with bilateral lung transplantation was admitted to the outpatient clinic with increasing respiratory distress for a month. Bilateral diaphragm eventration was observed in his examinations. Bilateral diaphragm plication was successfully performed abdominally in the patient who had a complaint despite supportive treatment. The respiratory capacity of the patient returned to normal. The abdominal approach may be a good alternative option in cases where intrathoracic surgery cannot be performed due to adhesions in patients with eventration after lung transplantation.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the largest metastatic lymph node (MLN) size on postoperative outcomes of patients with stage II-III gastric cancer (GC). Methods A total of 163 patients with stage II/III GC who underwent curative surgery were included in this single-center retrospective study. The lymph nodes were counted, each lymph node was analyzed for metastatic involvement by histopathological examination, and the diameter of the largest metastatic lymph node was recorded. The severity of postoperative complications was assessed by Clavien-Dindo classification system. Two groups of 163 patients were defined according to ROC analysis with cut-off value of histopathologically maximum MLN diameter. A comparative analysis of demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of the patients and their postoperative outcomes were performed. Results The median hospital stay was significantly longer in patients with major complications compared to patients without major complications [18 days (IQR: 13-24) vs. 8 days (IQR: 7-11); (p < 0.001)]. The median MLN size was significantly larger in deceased patients compared to survived [1.3 cm (IQR: 0.8-1.6) vs. 0.9 cm (IQR: 0.6-1.2), respectively; (p < 0.001)]. The cut-off value of MLN size predicting mortality was found as 1.05 cm. MLN size ≥1.05 cm had nearly 3.5 times more negative impact on survival. Conclusions The largest metastatic lymph node size had a significant association with survival outcomes. Particularly, MLN size over 1.05 cm was associated with worse survival outcomes. However, the largest MLN was not shown to have any effect on major complications. Further prospective and large-scale studies are required to draw more precise conclusions.

Abstract
Background The metastatic lymph nodes (MLN) are interpreted to be correlated with prognosis of the colorectal cancers (CRC). The present retrospective study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of the largest MLN size in terms of postoperative outcomes and its predictive value in the prognosis of the patients with stage III CRC. Methods Between May 2013 and December 2018, a total of 101 patients who underwent curative resection for stage III CRC retrospectively reviewed. All patients were divided into two groups regarding cut-off value (<1.05 cm and ≥1.05 cm) of maximum MLN diameter measured histopathologically. A comparative analysis of demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of the patients and their postoperative outcomes were performed. Results Two groups carried similar demographic data and preoperative laboratory variables except the lymphocyte count, hematocrit (HCT) ratio, hemoglobin level and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) value (p<0.05). The patients with MLN diameter ≥1.05 cm (n=46) needed more erythrocyte suspension and were hospitalized longer than the patients with a diameter <1.05 cm (n=55) (p=0.006 and 0.0294, respectively). Patients with MLN diameter < 1.05 cm had a significantly longer overall survival than patients with MLN diameter ≥ 1.05 cm (75,29 vs. 52,57 months, respectively). Regarding the histopathologic features, the patients with MLN diameter ≥1.05 cm had larger tumor size and higher number of MLN than those with diameter <1.05 cm (p=0.049 and 0.001). Conclusion The size of MLN larger than 1.05 cm may be predictive for a poor prognosis and lower survival of stage III CRC patients. The largest MLN size may be a proper alternative factor to the number of MLNs in predicting prognosis or in staging CRC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, the purpose was to determine the anatomical localizations of the cervical esophagus length, hiatal clamp, and esophagogastric junction depending on age and gender in patients who undergo Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). MATERIALS AND METHODS The images of the patients who underwent EGD between 2018 and 2020 were analyzed retrospectively in this study. The distance of the anatomical localizations of the cervical esophagus length, hiatal clamp, and esophagogastric junction to the anterior incisors, and the relations of this distance with the demographic characteristics and clinical manifestations of the patients were investigated on the esophagogastroduodenoscopy data. RESULTS A total of 298 patients (174 women/124 men) were included in the study. The cervical esophagus length and the distance of the esophagogastric junction and hiatal clamp localization of the patients were found to be 15.06±0.57 cm, 37.51±2.23 cm and 38.62±2.23 cm, respectively. It was also found that the mean values of all lengths in males were higher at a statistically significant level than in females (p<0.001; p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Knowing these anatomical localizations may be important in predicting complications that may occur in this region in EGD and planning the precautions to be taken. We also believe that it will guide clinicians in determining hiatal hernia and related deficiencies.

Abstract
AIM The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a valuable parameter that indicates the immunonutritional status of patients with malignant tumors. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients operated for colorectal cancer between January 2013 and December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The relationship between PNI and morbidity was investigated in the 314 patients included in the study. Based on previous studies, the PNI cutoff value was set at 45, and the patients were duly divided into two groups: PNI <45 and PNI ≥45. The demographic and clinicopathological characteristics, as well as postoperative complications in the two groups, were compared. RESULTS There was no statistical difference in gender, localization, T stage, N stage, perineural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, stage, Ca19-9 values, and body mass index(BMI) between the two groups. In contrast, there was a statistically significant difference in age, complications, and CEA values. (p=0.008, p<0.001, p=0.043, respectively). The median age was lower in patients with high PNI scores than in the low PNI group (61 vs. 64 years). When the patients were examined for complications, 36 (37.1%) patients were observed in the high PNI group, compared to 155 (71.4%) in the low PNI group. In terms of overall survival, the mean life expectancy was 68.112 2.646 months for patients with low PNI group, compared to 84.626 2.701 months in the high-PNI group, and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.001). CONCLUSION This study's findings suggest that the preoperative prognostic nutritional index may indicate postoperative complications and prognosis. The most significant benefit of this marker is that it can be improved preoperatively and practically. KEY WORDS Nutritional Status, Morbidity, Colorectal Neoplasms.

Abstract
PURPOSE The hepatic bridge as an anatomical variation may lead to recurrence and treatment failure in cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) by constituting an obscure region during surgery. This report aimed to highlight the relationship between the hepatic bridge and various prognostic factors in peritoneal carcinomatosis. METHODS Data of 101 patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis in a single centre were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic characteristics, primary origin of peritoneal carcinomatosis, classification of hepatic bridge, Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) score, and completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score were analysed. RESULTS The tumour was proven histopathologically in 18 (28.6%) of 63 patients who underwent distal round ligament (DRL) resection. The PCI score was found to be significantly higher in patients with tumour in DRL compared to the ones without tumour (p < 0.001). The median PCI score of patients with implant positive DRL was 18 (12-20) and this score was 3 (2-6) for patients with implant negative DRL (p < 0.001). The ROC curve concerning the risk of an implant penetrating the round ligament revealed the optimal cut-off value of PCI at 10 with 88.9% sensitivity and 79.3% specificity. CONCLUSION The round ligament should be removed, regardless of the PCI score, as a standard in mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix and malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. DRL should be removed when PCI is equal or higher than 10 for PC due to colorectal and ovarian cancers.

Abstract
Background We aimed to evaluate a comparative analysis of the prognostic value of the metastatic lymph node ratio (LNR) and pN (TNM) in stage III gastric cancer. Patients and Methods A total of 159 stage III gastric cancer patients with curative gastrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Cutoff values for LNR were designated according to 25%, 50% and 75% percentiles, 0.07, 0.20 and 0.44 respectively. The LNR was divided into four groups as 0 > LNR1 ≤ 0.07; 0.07 > LNR2 ≤0.20; 0.20 > LNR3 ≤0.44; 0.44 > LNR4 ≤1. Results The mean age of the patients was 61.1 ± 11.3 years. Male predominance was apparent (73.6%). The 1-year overall survival and recurrence rates were 73.6% and 33.6%, respectively. The univariate cox regression analysis demonstrated age and LNR were the main variables that affected overall survival (OS) (p < 0.05). Harvested lymph nodes less than 16 did not affect OS (p = 0.255). The results of the multivariate cox regression analysis revealed that only LNR was an independent prognostic factor (P < 0.001), while pN was not (p > 0.05). Similar results, as with overall survival, could not be revealed clearly for disease free survival (DFS). Conclusions LNR was an independent significant prognostic factor and superior to pN staging in predicting OS but not for DFS in stage III gastric cancer patients. The high LNR levels in our research were found to be associated with poor survival rates. The percentile system we used to determine cutoff values may be considered as a reliable method. Similarly, LNR also provides a reliable prognostic parameter in future staging systems to help guide treatment algorithm plans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic factors affecting survival in patients with a deep gastric wall invasion of T3-T4 advanced gastric cancer. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Kartal Koşuyolu High Specialty Training and Research Hospital, between November 2006 and December 2018. METHODOLOGY A retrospective review was made of 252 patients; and the clinicopathological characteristics and survival status in the presence of T1-T2 and T3-T4 patients were investigated. The cumulative survival of the two groups was analysed with a Kaplan-Meier test, and the differences were analysed with a log-rank test. The prognostic factors for T3-T4 patients were established through a stepwise Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Of the total, 52 (20.6%) patients had T1-T2 and 200 (79.4%) had T3-T4 gastric wall invasion. Statistical differences were noted in the Lauren classification as gender, tumor size, presence of lymph node involvement, presence of vascular and perineural invasion, and overall survival (p <0.001). A univariate analysis of the prognostic factors affecting survival in T3-T4 patients revealed a difference in the tumor localisation, tumor size, the presence of involved lymph nodes, perineural invasion, and vascular invasion. A multivariate analysis of the prognostic factors affecting survival identified differences in tumor size, the presence of involved lymph nodes and perineural invasion. CONCLUSION The most significant prognostic factor affecting survival in patients with T3-T4 gastric cancer, based on the depth of gastric wall invasion, was the tumor size, lymph node involvement and perineural invasion.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of intraoperative hyperlactatemia and its risk factors in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 75 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection for colorectal cancer. Initial lactate levels were determined from blood gas analysis before the incision. The end lactate values were recorded after the termination of the pneumoperitoneum. Hyperlactatemia defined as lactate levels between 2 mmol/L and 5 mmol/L without evidence of acidosis. The patients were divided into two groups as normolactatemia and hyperlactatemia according to lactate values at the end of the surgery. RESULTS Of the 75 patients, 45 (60.0%) had higher lactate levels than normal at the end of the surgery. The median age of the study population was 62 (24-84) years. Forty (53.3%) of the patients were male. Most of the patients in the study had colon cancer origin [56 cases (74.7%)]. Univariate logistic regression analysis for a possible independent risk factor in terms of hyperlactatemia showed that Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) ≥ 3, body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, the operative time, and the tumor size were significant (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis found that only BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and the operative time were significant (p = 0.004, and p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION According to our work, obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and the operative time in laparoscopic colorectal surgery were independent risk factors for intraoperative hyperlactatemia at the end of the operation. Therefore, clinicians should be vigilant about the inevitable consequences of surgery by making appropriate preparation. KEY WORDS Colorectal cancer, Lactate, Hyperlactatemia, Laparoscopy.

Abstract
Aim The present study evaluates the prognostic significance of perineural invasion (PNI) on 2-year, 5-year, and overall survival in patients undergoing gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy due to locally advanced gastric cancer. Materials and Methods Included in the study were 231 patients who underwent surgery between November 2006 and October 2018 due to stage 1B and over locally advanced gastric cancer, whose records were reviewed retrospectively. Statistical Analysis The variables in the presence or absence of PNI were compared between the two groups with a Chi-square test, a Fisher's exact test, a likelihood ratio, and a Mann-Whitney U test. Overall survival data were evaluated with a Kaplan-Meier test. Prognostic factors were evaluated with a stepwise Cox regression analysis. Results PNI was identified in 167 (72.3%) of the patients. The 2-year, 5-year, and overall survival rates at the end of the follow-up period were 85.9%, 70.3%, and 64.1% in those without PNI, and 52.7%, 38.3%, and 36.5% in those with PNI, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, PNI appeared to be a significant prognostic factor for 2-year survival (P = 0.04) but had no effect on 5-year and overall survival. Conclusions Survival was shorter in patients with PNI than in patients without PNI, and PNI had no effect on overall survival, although it was found to be of prognostic significance for 2-year survival.

Abstract
Background: Sarcopenia is a syndrome that can have negative consequences after gastric cancer (GC) surgery. This study aims to determine the effect of sarcopenia on surgical site infection (SSI) that develops after open GC surgery. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective design study, data were collected for patients who underwent GC surgery between January 2013 and August 2019. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was made according to the skeletal muscle index (SMI) calculated from pre-operative computed tomography images. Patients with sarcopenia and those without sarcopenia were compared in terms of SSIs; the risk factors for SSI were also analyzed. Results: One hundred forty-nine patients were included in the study and had a mean age of 59.3 years. Post-operative complications developed in 59 patients (39.6%) and SSIs in 28 patients (18.7%). Sarcopenia was detected in 57 (38.3%) patients; the mean age was 59.9 years in the sarcopenic group (SG) and 58.9 years in the non-sarcopenic group (NSG; p = 0.55). The mean SMI was 382.5 mm2/m2 and 646.2 mm2/m2 in the SG and NSG, respectively (p < 0.001). A relation between SSIs and sarcopenia was detected; 17 patients in the SG (29.8%) versus 11 patients in the NSG (11.9%; p = 0.007). Surgical site infection was not found to be statistically significantly related to obesity, hypoalbuminemia, intra-operative blood loss, or duration of operation, although the sarcopenic obesity patients were found to have the highest SSI rate (40%). Conclusion: The present study identified a relation between sarcopenia and SSIs occurring after GC surgery. The authors believe that studies seeking to reduce the incidence of SSIs, which are a leading cause of morbidity after GC surgery, should be supported.

Abstract
Purpose. This study investigates the prognostic significance of tumor size and its effect on survival among patients undergoing gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection due to gastric cancer. Materials and Methods. The clinicopathological characteristics of 320 patients who were operated due to gastric cancer between November 2006 and September 2019 were assessed retrospectively, of which 271 were included in the present study. A receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was carried out to identify the tumor size cut-off value. Patients were divided into small-size and large-size tumor groups. Clinicopathological characteristics were assessed using Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests, while survival was assessed with a Kaplan-Meier log-rank test. Results. The cut-off gastric cancer tumor size value was calculated as 4.75 cm. A statistical difference was noted in the tumor depth of wall invasion (p<0.001), the number of positive lymph nodes removed (p<0.001), vascular invasion (p=0.001) and perineural invasion (p=0.001) of the two groups. Survival was poorer in patients with large-size tumors than in those with small-size tumors (62 months vs. 88 months, respectively; p<0.001), and tumor size was associated with wall invasion depth (p<0.001) and Borrmann’s classification (p=0.002). A univariate analysis revealed tumor size to be a prognostic factor for survival (p=0.001), while no such finding could be established in a multivariate analysis (p=0.637). Conclusion. Tumor size is a prognostic marker for gastric cancer, and a preoperative assessment in this regard may suggest neoadjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Background: The impact of high-risk surgery on tissue perfusion can be indirectly assessed by measuring lactate levels during surgery and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. While consistently high values are associated with poor prognosis, transient elevations do not mean poor clinical outcomes. Therefore, intraoperative and early postoperative blood lactate monitoring is essential for cancer patients.
Aims and Objective: This study aimed to determine the risk factors of persistently elevated lactate levels in the intraoperative and postoperative period in patients with elective gastric cancer surgery.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 293 patients who underwent curative resection for gastric cancer. Lactate values of all patients were examined during surgery and ICU-stay at 3rd, 6th, 12th, and 18th hours. All lactate values above 2 mmol/L were considered elevated. The patients were divided into two groups as those with perioperative persistently increased lactate levels and those without.
Results: Of the 293 patients, 60 (20.5%) had higher lactate levels in the perioperative period. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, the operative time had the highest significance rate (p = 0.020) out of two significant variables, followed by the BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 (p = 0.048). Besides, patients with perioperative hyperlactatemia had prolonged hospital stays (p = 0.034).
Conclusions: Operative time and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) were independent risk factors for persistent lactate elevation in the perioperative period. Also, perioperative hyperlactatemia extended the length of hospital stay.

Abstract
Objectives With the widespread use of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in recent years, upper gastrointestinal system polyps have started to be encountered more often. Although most patients with gastric polyps are asymptomatic, these are important due to their malign potential, and gastric cancer may develop if left untreated. Material and Methods Records of 12.563 patients who underwent EGD at Kartal Kosuyolu High Specialization Health Application and Research Center for any reason between January 2013 and June 2016 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients with at least 1 histopathologically proven polyp were included in this study. Results A total of 12.563 endoscopic procedures of the upper gastrointestinal system were investigated and 353 (2.8%) polypoid lesions were detected. Mean age of these patients was 56.3 years and 241 (68.3%) of the patients were female. Gastric polyps were found most commonly in the antrum (50.1%) and of all gastric polyps, 245 (69.5%) were less than 1 cm. Histopathological evaluation showed that hyperplastic polyp (HP) (n= 151, 42.8%) was the most common polyp type, followed by fundic gastric polyp (FGP) (n= 51, 14.4%). Non-polyp gastric mucosa evaluation of 298 patients revealed that 34.9% of the cases were Helicobacter pylori positive, 19.4% had intestinal metaplasia, and 11.4% had atrophic gastritis. Conclusion Polyps of the upper gastrointestinal system are generally detected coincidentally as they have no specific symptoms. Polypectomy is required for gastric polyps because of their potential for malign transformation according to medical evidence.

Abstract
AIM Prognostic significance assessment of different lymph node classification systems in stage III colorectal cancer patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 85 stage III colorectal cancer patients, who had undergone surgery between January 2013 and December 2018, were divided into 3 different groups comprising of lymph node ratios (LNR) and log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) as per the cutoff values of 25 and 75 percentile threshold values. They were accordingly classified as: LNR1 <0.069, LNR2 0.069-0.24, LNR3 >0.24 and LODDS1 <-0.99; -0.99≥ LODDS2 <-0.47; LODDS3 ≥-0.47. Further the LNR was assessed according to the cutoff values proposed by Berger et al. The pN statuses of all patients were also categorized as pN1 and pN2 in line with the AJCC 8th Edition. The Kaplan-Meier test and Cox regression analysis were performed to analyze the relationship among the LNR, LODDS, pN and overall survival. RESULTS While 55 patients included in the study had tumors in their colons, the localization of the tumors of 30 patients was the rectum. The means for survival time was 63.3 months +/- 3.6 [95% CI(56.2-70.4)]. When univariate analyses were conducted for the factors affecting 3 and 5-year survival of the patients, it was ascertained that there was a significant relationship only between perineural invasion (PNI) and survival. Accordingly, the 3-year survival of those with PNI was found to be 31.4% in comparison to 56% of those without PNI (p=0.025), while the figure was 5.7% for the 5-year survival of the former group and 22% for the latter (p=0.040). When the relation between the survival time of the patients and the LNR classification conducted according to the staging system developed by Berger et al. was studied, no significant relationship could be found (p>0.05). Similarly, and 0.321 respectively. CONCLUSION Although numerous studies have shown that there was a significant relationship between high LNR and increased survival, as opposed to the results of our study, the greatest obstacle before LNR's survival prediction is the absence of a consensus for standard cutoff values.

Abstract
Objective Our aim in this study was to present the cases of our patients who contracted colonic perforation during elective colonoscopy and became emergency cases; we also discuss treatment modalities along with literature reports on the subject. Material and Methods Cases of patients who contracted iatrogenic colonic perforation following endoscopy of the colorectal system between January 2009 and December 2015 at Kartal Koşuyolu Yüksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital's Endoscopy Unit were reviewed retrospectively. Results Within the duration of the study, 5.586 patients underwent colonoscopies at our hospital; 7 (0.12%) of these patients contracted iatrogenic colonic perforation. Three (42.8%) of these patients were male, four (57.2%) were female, and their mean age was 69 years (46 to 84). Six (85.7%) patients were diagnosed intraoperationally, while one (14.3%) patient was diagnosed 12 hours after the procedure. The perforation area was the sigmoid colon in six patients and the ascending colon in one patient; all patients underwent surgery. Four patients were discharged with no complications. One of the remaining three patients had enterocutaneous fistula, one had acute renal failure, and one died of sepsis. Conclusion The progress of perforation due to colonoscopy varies according to the underlying diseases, the mechanism of perforation formation, the treatment modality used, and the experience of the physicians treating the patient. Special attention should be paid to senior and comorbid patients receiving therapeutic procedures during colonoscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study presents the relationship between mortality and spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) in inpatients receiving anticoagulant and antiaggregant treatment for cardiac pathology at cardiology and cardiovascular surgery clinics. METHODS Within the scope of our study, the cases of 27 patients who were diagnosed with spontaneous RSH between January 2010 and December 2015 at Kartal Kosuyolu High Speciality Training and Research Hospital were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Of the 27 patients, 19 (70.4%) were female and 8 (29.6%) were male. The mean age was 63±12 (32-84) years. All the patients had at least one comorbidity that necessitated follow-up. Fourteen patients received only anticoagulant treatment, 8 received only antiaggregant treatment, and the remaining 5 received both types of treatment. Physical examination of all patients revealed painful palpable masses in the lower quadrants of the abdomen. According to the results of computed tomography (CT) scans, which showed the size and localization of the masses, 7 of the cases were classified as Type I, 6 as Type II, and 14 as Type III. Although 23 of the cases received medical treatment, the remaining 4 patients received surgical treatment. Eight (29.6%) patients suffered mortality. CONCLUSION RSH is rare, but its prevalence is increased among patients receiving anticoagulant and antiaggregant treatment for cardiac reasons. The mortality rate markedly increased among patients who contracted RSH during hospitalization for cardiac reasons, had comorbidities, and experienced additional complications due to extended hospitalization.
