    Background 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.

    Efficiency of Outsourcing Reporting in Thorax Computed Tomography Evaluation: Retrospective Analysis of 350 Thoracic Surgery Cases
    (Aves, 2023) Cetin, Mehmet; Solak, Necati; Turk, Ilteris; Guresci, Kursat
    OBJECTIVE: External reporting is frequently used due to the significant increase in computed tomography examinations in recent years and the insufficient number of personnel in internal reporting. We aimed to evaluate the adequacy of outsourcing reporting.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients who were seen or hospitalized as a consultation by thoracic surgeons with thoracic computed tomography between January 2021 and January 2022 were included in the study retrospectively. Computed tomography results reported by radiologists working in our hospital were grouped as internal reports, and the results reported externally by a company were grouped as outsourcing reports. The total number of computed tomography examinations taken during the same period and the number of examinations reported by a daily average radiologist were also determined. False-negative findings in internal and outsourcing reports were evaluated and statistically compared between groups.RESULTS: A total of 84 702 computed tomography scans were taken in 2021. In external reporting, 1 physician reported an average of 202.83 computed tomography scans per day (74 033 per year). A total of 350 thorax computed tomography reports were evaluated. A total of 304 (86.9%) thorax computed tomography examinations were reported with external reporting and 46 (13.1%) with internal reporting. False-negative findings other than those reported were found in 81 reports (23.1%). A significantly higher deficiency was observed in external reporting (77/304) compared to internal reporting (4/46). (P = .013).CONCLUSION: The effectiveness of external reporting was found to be lower than internal reporting due to a possible lack of com-munication and audit problems. In order to minimize the errors and related liability arising from external reporting, primarily a legal standardization is required with realistic reporting numbers of external reporting.

    The importance of coordination in preventing overdiagnosis: a retrospective analysis of unabsorbed oxidized regenerated cellulose
    (Springer-Verlag Italia Srl, 2024) Turk, Ilteris; Cetin, Mehmet; Babacan, Fatma; Solak, Necati; Agackiran, Yetkin; Ozturk, Ayperi; Acar, Leyla Nesrin
    BackgroundOxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) is commonly used to control small intraoperative bleedings in lung cancer surgery. However, difficulties in its absorption may lead to complications that can mimic malignancy recurrence in the affected areas, and may require further examination.MethodsBetween 2015 and 2022, patients who underwent malignant tumour resection and lymph node dissection and were subsequently evaluated for suspected lymph node recurrence and underwent EBUS-guided needle biopsy were included in the study. Pathology reports of these patients showed an ORC-related foreign body type granulomatous reaction. Such reactions, caused by delayed absorption of ORC, can mimic malignancy recurrence and result in unnecessary biopsies.ResultsIn a total of 13 patients (10 males), pathology was observed in 18 lymph node areas after malignant resection and lymph node dissection, and ORC was detected in subcarinal and inferior paratracheal lymph node areas in all patients. The average age of the patients was calculated as 63.1 years (range 51-74). The mean SUVmax value observed in these lymph node areas on PET/CT was 5.22 (range 0-14.36). Although the SUVmax value decreased as the time between surgery and EBUS increased, no statistically significant difference was observed (p = 0.100).ConclusionThe study suggests that in cases of suspected unexpected lymph node recurrence in postoperative follow-up of lung cancer, it is important for clinicians to communicate with the surgeon and re-evaluate the use of ORC by reviewing the operative notes. This may help in determining an appropriate further investigation strategy.
