Öğe A new technique for closure of pericardial defects: pericardial rug weave(Bmc, 2024) Findik, Gokturk; Cetin, Mehmet; Nomenoglu, Hakan; Turk, Ilteris; Acemoglu, Serdar; Solak, Necati; Can, Mehmet AliBackground Pericardial defect that occurs after intrapericardial pneumonectomy can cause many fatal complications, and closing the defect with mesh is a widely used surgical method to prevent these complications.Methods Data of patients who underwent intrapericardial pneumonectomy and pericardial resection in our clinic between October 2010 and June 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups, those who had prolene mesh used to close the pericardial defect and those who underwent the Rug Weave technique we proposed as an alternative, and the results were compared.Results The study included 23 patients, one of whom was female. All patients underwent surgery due to malignancy. The vast majority of the patients had a diagnosis of squamous cell lung carcinoma (86.9%). Atrium was added to three patients and rib resection was added to one patient during intrapericardial pneumonectomy and pericardial resection. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of average age, gender, and length of hospital stay. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of complications, including atrial fibrillation, which is commonly seen in these patients (p = 0.795). The Rug Weave group had an average defect width of 23.96 cm2 and was found to be advantageous in terms of overall survival compared to the mesh group (p = 0.017).Conclusions The Rug Weave technique we proposed for closing pericardial defects after pneumonectomy can be used as a cheaper method safely and effectively that reduces complications as much as the traditional method of using mesh.Öğe Efficiency of pulmonary nodule risk scoring systems in Turkish population(Springer-Verlag Italia Srl, 2024) Nomenoglu, Hakan; Findik, Gokturk; Cetin, Mehmet; Aydogdu, Koray; Gulhan, Selim Sakir Erkmen; Bicakcioglu, PinarMalignancy risk calculation models were developed using the clinical and radiological features. It was aimed to compare pulmonary nodule risk calculation models and evaluate their effectiveness and applicability for the Turkish population. Between 2014 and 2019, 351 patients who were operated on for pulmonary nodules were evaluated with the following data: age, gender, smoking history, family history of lung cancer, extrapulmonary malignancy and granulomatous disease, nodule diameter, attenuation character, side, localization, spiculation, nodule count, presence of pulmonary emphysema, FDG uptake in PET/CT of the nodule, and definitive pathology data. Malignancy risk scores were calculated using the equations of the Brock, Mayo, and Herder models. The results were evaluated statistically. The mean age of the 351 patients (236 men, 115 women) was 57.84 +/- 10.87 (range 14-79) years, and 226 malignant and 125 benign nodules were observed. Significant correlations were found between malignancy and age (p < 0.001), nodule diameter (p < 0.001), gender (p < 0.009), speculation (p < 0.001), emphysema (p < 0.05), FDG uptake (p < 0.001). All three models were found effective in the differentiation (p < 0.001). The ideal threshold value was determined for the Brock (19.5%), Mayo (23.1%), and Herder (56%) models. All models were effective for nodules of > 10 mm, but none of them were for 0-10 mm. Brock was effective in ground-glass nodules (p = 0.02) and all models were effective for semi-solid and solid nodules. None of the groups could provide AUC values as high as those achieved in the original studies. This suggests the need to optimize models and malignancy risk thresholds for Turkish population.Öğe Importance of Histopathological Grading for Treatment Selection in Malignant Mesothelioma(Georg Thieme Verlag Kg, 2023) Turk, Ilteris; Findik, Gokturk; cetin, Mehmet; Bicakcioglu, Pinar; Gulhan, Selim Sakir Erkmen; Aydogdu, Koray; Yilmaz, UlkuBackground Complexities in TNM staging in epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) may lead to errors in treatment selection, leading to major surgical interventions in patients with low survival expectations.Methods Sixty-nine stage I epithelioid MPM patients, including 27 patients treated with pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) and multimodal therapy (MMT) (the P/D [MMT] group), and 42 patients treated with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy (the CRT group), were included in the study. After an initial evaluation of overall survival, all patients were grouped in terms of histopathological parameters and treatment types, and then, a secondary survival evaluation was performed for the groups.Results Forty-one patients were male, the mean age was 61.8 years. The median survival time was 26 months in the P/D (MMT) group, and 19.6 months in the CRT group, but the difference was not statistically significant. After grouping according to pathological criteria, a median survival time of 32.4 +/- 2.9 months in the P/D (MMT) group and 21.9 +/- 13.2 months in the CRT group was obtained among patients with histopathological low-grade tumors. Among patients with high-grade tumors, the median survival time was 18.3 +/- 2.6 months in the P/D (MMT) group and 17 +/- 4.4 months in the CRT group. Among patients with low-grade tumors, the P/D (MMT) group had longer survival. Median survival times were similar among patients with high-grade tumors.Conclusion In epithelioid MPM, histopathological grading by video-assisted thoracic surgery pleural biopsy can prove accurate in selecting patients for P/D and MMT.Öğe Pneumomediastinum: retrospective analysis of 19 cases and an innovation proposal in classification(Springer, 2022) Cetin, Mehmet; Turk, Ilteris; Findik, Gokturk; Aydogdu, Koray; Gulhan, Selim Sakir Erkmen; Bicakcioglu, Pinar; Kaya, SadiBackground Guidelines to standardize treatment and follow-up strategies in pneumomediastinum cases are lacking. The aim of the study was to evaluate the etiology in pneumomediastinum cases and the results of treatment and follow-up. Results Nineteen patients with pneumomediastinum who were followed up in our clinic between 2015 and 2020 comprised the study population. Among the patients, 16 (84.2%) were male, and the mean age was 31.15 years. The chief presenting complaints were chest pain and dyspnea. Pneumomediastinum was spontaneous in 15/19 patients (including spontaneous pneumomediastinum with an underlying pathology in 3/15), traumatic in 3/19, and iatrogenic in 1/19. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum without underlying pathology was seen in younger adults (mean age: 23 years). Surgical intervention in traumatic and iatrogenic pneumomediastinum cases was compared with spontaneous cases and no statistically significant difference was observed (p=0.178). The mean hospital stay of all patients was 3.15 days. Only one patient had a recurrence and died, which was later determined to be a secondary spontaneous pneumomediastinum case. Conclusion Pneumomediastinum often occurs with an underlying pathology in advancing age and as spontaneous in younger patients. Therefore, secondary spontaneous pneumomediastinum subclass should be evaluated in the classification to facilitate to create a standard guideline and prevent overdiagnosis and overtreatment.Öğe Role of orthopedia homebox protein in subclassification of pulmonary carcinoid tumors: Retrospective analysis of 110 cases(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Cetin, Mehmet; Findik, Gokturk; Demirag, Funda; Turk, Ilteris; Aydogdu, KorayBackground: Orthopedia homeobox protein (OTP), highlighted as a sensitive and specific marker for pulmonary carcinoids, may provide a more objective criterion for subclassification. Materials and Methods: A total of 110 patients who underwent surgery for pulmonary carcinoids (2009-2019) were included. Gender, age, application complaint, tumor diameter and location, typical and atypical tumor type, lymph node involvement, stage, recurrence, and survival data were evaluated retrospectively with OTP nuclear staining. Results: The sensitivity of OTP was 66.4%. OTP in subclassifying pulmonary carcinoids was not significant. There was no significant relationship between OTP and lymph node involvement, recurrence, and survival. Conclusion: OTP does not provide significant results in the subclassification of typical and atypical carcinoid tumors and the evaluation of recurrence and survival of carcinoid tumor cases.
