Efficacy and Cost- effectivity Analysis of Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy Unit in Infectious Disease Clinical Practices: Turkey perspective.
Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial treatment (OPAT) has become a common treatment modality in developed countries. OPAT units are not widespread in Turkey, and their cost-effectivity analysis has not been studied, yet. ⋯ OPAT units should be expanded increasingly in Turkey. The evaluation together with the health care system conditions in Turkey revealed that the OPAT program is safe, effective, and cost-efficient.

A new technıque ın the treatment of uretero-enterıc anastomosıs strıcture: repaır of uretero-enterıc anastomosıs strıcture wıth low lombotomy ıncısıon (retroperıtoneal approach).
Ureteroenteric anastomosis stricture (UEAS) is one of the complications of urinary diversion and may lead to serious consequences. In this study, we evaluated our UEAS revision technique outcomes performed with a low lombotomy incision in the lateral decubitus position. ⋯ Open revision of the UEAS with retroperitoneal approach provides lower morbidity rates and shorter hospitalisation time compared to other methods. The retroperitoneal approach is the main advantage of this technique and prevents morbidity caused by other techniques performed intraperitoneally and owing to it is an open technique, it can be easily applied in isolated right-sided UEAS.
