A rare cause of intestinal obstruction: right paraduodenal hernia
This article aimed to present the diagnosis and treatment process of a 47-year-old male presenting with acute abdomen symptoms by evaluating retrospectively with the accompaniment of literature. During the abdominal exploration of the patient, nearly all of the intestines were observed to be herniated from the right paraduodenal region to the posterior area. The opening of the hernial sac was repaired primarily by reducing the intestinal bowel loops into the intraperitoneal region. The patient undergoing anastomosis by performing resection of the ischemic part after reduction of herniated bowel loops was discharged unevent...

Mortality Factors in Crush Syndrome
CONCLUSION: Our study highlights low systolic blood pressure upon admission as a significant risk factor for increased mortality in Crush Syndrome patients. This finding may contribute to the literature by emphasizing the importance of monitoring blood pressure under rubble and administering more aggressive fluid therapy to patients with low systolic blood pressure.PMID:38506381 | PMC:PMC10977497 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.20532 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Investigation of fatal traumatic head injuries
CONCLUSION: The results obtained in this study indicate that the cause of the incident, type of fracture, presence of skull base fracture, and multiple skull fractures increase the likelihood of fatalities. The occurrence of skull fractures reduces intracranial pressure, thereby decreasing the incidence of intracranial lesions. The development and effective enforcement of road traffic safety policies and regulations will reduce the incidence of fatalities.PMID:38506383 | PMC:PMC10977496 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.32463 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Emergent approach to small bowel tumors: diagnosis and treatment
CONCLUSION: Small bowel tumors frequently present with abdominal pain, bloating, and nausea and vomiting. CT and endoscopic procedures are the primary diagnostic tools. Small bowel cancers are often diagnosed late due to subtle clinical findings and the limitations of endoscopic imaging. Targeted screening strategies may be beneficial for certain at-risk and symptomatic patient groups. Early surgical intervention offers significant advantages for diagnosed patients.PMID:38506384 | PMC:PMC10977489 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.33680 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Risk of burns in pressure cooker usage: a comprehensive analysis of explosive injuries
CONCLUSION: While pressure cookers facilitate rapid food preparation, this study underscores the severe risks arising from product or usage errors. This study emphasizes the need for more effective usage instructions and increased awareness about pressure cookers to prevent burn risks. We anticipate that educational programs focused on safe pressure cooker use could significantly reduce the incidence of serious injuries.PMID:38506385 | PMC:PMC10977495 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.38131 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Is ultrasound guidance necessary to avoid complications in the implantation of venous access ports?
CONCLUSION: The risk of developing complications was not affected by patient's age or sex. In addition, body mass index was not shown to be an independent risk factor for patients developing complications. It may be concluded from the study that early complications in particular can be reduced with ultrasound-guided implantation.PMID:38506386 | PMC:PMC10977494 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.58665 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in severe earthquake injuries
CONCLUSION: This study evaluated the possible effects of HBOT on patients with severe earthquake injuries in Türkiye, and the results showed that HBOT may have a beneficial effect on critical factors such as sensory recovery, functional recovery, and amputation rates in this particular group of patients, and that this benefit may be more pronounced in those who started treatment early.PMID:38506387 | PMC:PMC10977492 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.60979 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Post Trauma Acinetobacter Baumanii Meningitis Treatment Approach
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg. 2024 Mar;30(3):221-225. doi: 10.14744/tjtes.2024.65051.ABSTRACTA. baumannii, which is said to be associated with nosocomial infections is considered a significant mortality risk if not adequately addressed. A. baumannii infections typically occur in the aftermath of surgery or trauma. Our patient developed complicated A. baumannii meningitis with lateral ventriculitis and a lumbar abscess post surgery after suffering from a fall. The patient was treated with a 21-day regimen of intrathecally administered colistin and polymyxin B. Following this therapeutic period, the patient's condition impr...

Anesthetic approach to trauma patients in the city hospital after the 2023 Mara ş earthquake
CONCLUSION: The predominance of extremity injuries among earthquake victims increases the inclination towards regional anesthesia. Incorporating Plan A blocks into basic anesthesia skills could enhance the preference for regional anesthesia in disaster situations. Furthermore, transferring the injured to advanced centers may reduce morbidity.PMID:38506390 | PMC:PMC10977499 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.92346 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)
