A new, simple marker for predicting complicated appendicitis in patients with normal white blood cell count indicator; LUC.
The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a new marker that could be easily obtained to differentiate between complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis in a patients with a white blood cell (WBC) count within the normal range. ⋯ In patients with a diagnosis of AA with a normal WBC value, LUC% obtained from the complete blood count can be used as a new parameter predicting the diagnosis of complicated appendicitis.

Randomized Controlled TrialReconstruction option in complex lower extremity defects where microsurgical repair is not possible: Randomized bipedicled flaps.
Lower extremity defects may occur due to many etiological causes such as trauma, peripheral arterial disease, diabetic foot infections, tumor resection, gunshot injuries, and burns. Lower extremity defects show a wide clinical presentation ac-cording to the affected anatomical localization, amount of tissue, and tissue content. In this study, it is aimed to present the use of bipedicled flaps as a simple and reliable salvage method in cases where microsurgical repairs such as free flaps are not possible. ⋯ Randomized bipediculated flaps are a very reliable option for the reconstruction of middle and distal lower extremity defects. We think that it is a reconstruction option that can be safely applied in small and medium-sized defects of the lower extremity, since it can be used even in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus and peripheral arterial disease that adversely affect wound healing.

Efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with endoscopic sphincterotomy and biliary stenting in post-operative bile leaks.
We evaluated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), sphincterotomy, balloon biliary tract scanning, and plastic stenting in diagnosing and treating bile duct leakage after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hydatid cyst surgery in this study. ⋯ In patients with biliary leak due to laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hydatid cyst surgery, ERCP, sphincterotomy, balloon scanning, and plastic stenting are both highly effective and reliable options. They should be considered as the first-choice treat-ment approach in this patient group.

Prospective evolution of body compositions based on bioelectrical impedance analysis and water intake on patients with gallstone.
We aimed to compare bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) body composition and to reveal predictive factors that may help prevent gallstone formation. ⋯ The MWID and BFP level measured by the BIA technique, which is an easily applicable, noninvasive method, are independent risk factors for gallstone formation.

Case ReportsRepair experience of external iliac artery dissection using internal iliac artery transposition during renal transplantation.
Graft and surgery-related complications still pose a problem in kidney transplant surgery. Vascular complications due to surgery can be severe, threatening both graft and recipient life. ⋯ However, studies that provide long-term results on which approach will be applied in which period and in which conditions are limited. In this case report, we share our 6-year patient follow-up experience and repair of external iliac artery dissection related to renal transplantation with internal iliac artery transposition.
