Is TAPP the Right alternative for patients undergoing emergency surgery for incarcerated inguinal hernia?
CONCLUSION: TAPP technique is a good alternative for selected patients undergoing emergency hernia repair because it provides the surgeon with the possibility to evaluate the incarcerated intestinal segment thoroughly while preserving the advantages of laparoscopic surgery.PMID:38305658 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.63367 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Evaluating emergency department visits for spontaneous and traumatic pneumomediastinum: a retrospective analysis
CONCLUSION: Upon examining the causes of pneumomediastinum cases, it was observed that patients with a history of trauma required thoracostomy tube insertion and surgical intervention more frequently. However, when classified as spontaneous or trau-matic, both groups exhibited similar clinical courses and outcomes. Both groups demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes.PMID:38305659 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.66059 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

A case of seatbelt-induced mesenteric injury and delayed colon ischemia after a car accident
In this report, we present a case of a patient with sigmoid colon perforation due to ischemia caused by mesenteric injury, who was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain two days after a car accident. A twenty-one-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain and vomiting, having been involved in a car accident as a driver two days prior. Computed tomogra-phy revealed free air in the abdomen, originating from the perforation of the sigmoid colon wall, and free fluid in the pelvic area. The patient underwent immediate laparotomy. Exploration revealed a rupture in the sigmoid mesocolon, caus...

Identification of complicated and non-complicated appendicitis: a new alvarado-based scoring system
CONCLUSION: It is critical to identify perioperative and postoperative complications, provide appropriate patient counseling, and consider medical treatment when appropriate to diagnose acute complex appendicitis effectively. The new scoring system is an effective method for recognizing acute complicated appendicitis.PMID:38305662 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.70979 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Effects of lercanidipine on traumatic spinal cord injury: an experimental study
CONCLUSION: Lercanidipine, a third-generation calcium channel blocker, is effective against inflammatory responses induced in spinal cord injury. Further studies are required to determine its capability in preventing apoptosis or improving functional recovery. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first in the literature to examine the neuroprotective effects of lercanidipine on spinal cord injury.PMID:38305651 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.03660 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Analysis of increased motorcycle accidents during the COVID-19 pandemic: a single-center study from T ürkiye
CONCLUSION: This clinical study's findings demonstrate that the measures implemented during the pandemic to limit society's mobility have led to an increase in motorcycle accidents. Notably, there has been a significant rise in the number of accidents, particularly involving individual motorcycle use and motorcycle courier services.PMID:38305652 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.08791 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Does simultaneous comminuted fracture of both radial ends represent a distinct fracture pattern?
CONCLUSION: Simultaneous comminuted fractures of the ipsilateral distal radius and radial head represent a distinct injury pattern, most likely resulting from high-energy trauma, such as falling from a height onto an outstretched hand. Greater emphasis should be placed on clinical examination and radiological imaging of the elbow in cases of wrist injuries and vice versa. Treatment involving on-table reconstruction of the radial head and open reduction and internal fixation with a volar plate can lead to good radiological and functional outcomes.PMID:38305653 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.19392 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trau...

Evaluating the effectiveness of inflammatory markers in pediatric open globe injury using a modified pediatric ocular trauma score
CONCLUSION: The Modified Pediatric Ocular Trauma Score is an effective and practical method for assessing the prognosis of pediatric patients with Open Globe Injury (OGI). Furthermore, there is evidence indicating a negative correlation between MPOTS and the increase in NLR and PLR values that often follows OGI in this patient population.PMID:38305654 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.22905 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Effect of ischemia-reperfusion injury on elafin levels in rat liver
CONCLUSION: In hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, elafin levels decreased as the reperfusion time increased. As the reperfusion time increased, both hepatocyte damage and oxidant capacity increased, with a negative correlation observed between these findings and elafin levels. Therefore, elafin may play a protective role in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury and could assist clinicians in assessing liver injury.PMID:38305656 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.32728 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)
