    Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences
    Objectives: Emergency primary anastomosis following sigmoidectomy is one of the main treatment options in sigmoid volvulus (SV). However, during this procedure, the role of intraoperative colonic lavage (ICL) is controversial. Our aim was to evaluate the role of ICL in 175-patient SV series.Methods: In Ataturk University Faculty of Medicine Department of General Surgery, ICL was applied in 76 cases (43.4%), while it was not used in the remained 99 patients (56.6%) in 58.5-year period. In a partial retrospective (first 20 years, from June 1966 to June 1986) and prospective (later 38.5 years, from June 1986 to December 2024) evaluation, some preoperative, operative, and postoperative findings were utilized.Results: As preoperative data, mean age (56.4 years vs. 57.1 years, P>0.05), male/female ratio (4.8 vs. 4.2, P>0.05), and rate of shock (5.3% vs. 6.1%, P>0.05) were statistically similar in both groups, while mean ASA score (3.1 vs. 2.9, P<0.05) was significantly lower in ICL group. Among operative findings, rates of bowel gangrene (67.1% vs. 63.6%, P>0.05) and perforation (1.3% vs. 1.0%, P>0.05) were statistically similar in both groups, while mean operation time (205.4 minutes vs. 176.8 minutes, P<0.005) was significantly longer in ICL group. As surgical outcomes, rates of mortality (13.2% vs 12.1%, P>0.05) and morbidity (39.5% vs. 28.3%, P>0.05) were statistically similar in both groups, while mean hospitalization time (14.7 days vs. 9.4 days, P<0.001) was significantly longer and mean cost (3,455.4 USD vs. 2,752.1 USD, P<0.001) was significantly higher in ICL group.Conclusion: When compared with that of primary anastomosis with ICL, primary anastomosis without ICL provided shorter operation and hospitalization times, and less cost in addition to similar mortality and morbidity rates in the emergency treatment of SV.doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.41.2.11399How to cite this: Altundas N, Peksoz R, Disci E, Atamanalp SS.

    Tuğrul Çağrı Akman, Yücel Kadıoğlu, Burak Bayrak, Mehmet İlhan Yıldırgan, and Esra Dişçi
    The Turkish Chemical Society
    The effect of total gastrectomy (TG) on plasma free amino acid (PFAA) concentrations in patients with stage II gastric cancer was investigated in the study. Nineteen patients' plasma samples were collected before and three months post-gastrectomy, and PFAA levels were quantified using LC-MS/MS. For gradient elution of amino acids, the mobile phases (A: 3% formic acid-5% methanol-30 mM ammonium formate, B: acetonitrile) and a Hypersil C18 column (100 mm x 2.1 m, 1.9 µm) were used. The findings revealed substantial modifications in the profile of PFAA after TG. In particular, the concentrations of twenty amino acids increased significantly, including branched-chain amino acids, L-glutamate, L-alanine, L-methionine, glycine, L-cystine, and L-histidine. Conversely, L-arginine was also reduced statistically. These alterations in the PFAA profile indicate the favorable effects of TG on various physiological processes, such as enhanced immune function, improved tissue healing, and increased energy production. Investigating the effects of various surgical techniques on PFAA profiles is a promising approach for optimizing surgical procedures, improving metabolic function, increasing immunological responses, and improving overall quality of life. These findings highlight the significance of evaluating amino acid metabolism as an important part of treatment, given its potential to improve clinical outcomes and general well-being.

  • Primary anastomosis versus stoma following urgent sigmoidectomy for sigmoid volvulus: 58-year experience in a tertiary referral center
    Enes Agirman, Esra Disci, Rifat Peksoz, and Sabri Selcuk Atamanalp
    Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences
    Objectives: Primary anastomosis and stoma are the main options in the restoration of intestinal continuity following urgent sigmoidectomy in sigmoid volvulus (SV). Our purpose was to evaluate the outcomes of both techniques in a 1,083-patient SV series.Methods: Total 1,083 cases with SV treated in Ataturk University Research Hospital in 58-year period between June 1966 and July 2024 were included in this study. We reviewed the records of 612 patients (56.5%) retrospectively, while the remaining 471 cases (43.5%) were evaluated prospectively. We investigated some preoperative, operative, and postoperative characteristics in non-matched analyses.Results: Among total 379 patients treated with urgent colectomy, primary anastomosis was used in 173 cases (45.6%), while stoma was required in 206 patients (54.4%). The mean age was significantly lower in primary anastomosis group (P<0.005), while male/female ratios were statistically similar (P>0.05). Mean ASA score (P<0.001) and rates of shock (P<0.001), bowel gangrene (P<0.001), bowel perforation (P<0.01), and risky bowel (P<0.005) were also significantly lower in the primary anastomosis group. When stoma closure was considered, operation time was significantly shorter (P<0.001), additionally, morbidity and mortality rates were significantly lower in the primary anastomosis group (P<0.001, in each). The distributions of reoperation rates were statistically similar in both groups (P>0.05). Conversely, hospitalization time was significantly shorter and cost was significantly lower in the primary anastomosis group (P<0.001, in each).Conclusion: Primary anastomosis has some advantages in comparison to stoma in the restoration of intestinal continuity following urgent sigmoidectomy in SV. However, stoma is generally preferred in patients with bad health status, old age, and risky bowel. New prospective randomized clinical studies or matched analyses may help to clarify the optimal choice.doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.40.11.10543How to cite this: Agirman E, Disci E, Peksoz R, Atamanalp SS.

  • Management of early recurrence following successful endoscopic detorsion in sigmoid volvulus
    Nurhak Aksungur, Esra Disci, Rifat Peksoz, and Sabri Selcuk Atamanalp
    Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences
    Objectives: Following endoscopic detorsion, sigmoid volvulus (SV) recurs in 3%-86% of patients, approximately 13% of which are early recurrence presenting during the first admission period. Although semielective surgery is the traditional approach, elective surgery following repetitive endoscopy or percutaneous endoscopic sigmoidopexy (PES) are other alternatives in the management of early SV recurrence. Our aim was to discuss the role of semielective surgery in above-mentioned rare clinical entity.Methods: Among our 1,076-case series, we retrospectively evaluated the records of 612 patients (56.9%) treated between June 1966 and June 1986, while we prospectively utilized the data of 464 patients (43.1%) managed between June 1986 and January 2024. We recorded the treatment option and prognosis for each patient.Results: Early SV recurrence was determined in 34 (5.5%) of the 621 patients with successful nonoperative detorsion. We treated all of these patients by semielective surgery. The surgical procedures were detorsion in one patient (2.9%), mesopexy in 11 (32.4%), sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis in 17 (50.0%), and sigmoidectomy with stoma in five (14.7%). In this series, mortality and morbidity rates were 2.9% (one patient) and 14.7% (five patients), respectively.Conclusion: Semielective surgery is the traditional approach tried by most surgeons, which allows for the recovery of the general status of the patients, bowel preparation, and antibiotic prophylaxis. However, repetitive endoscopy followed by elective surgery or PES are current alternatives for some selected patients. Unfortunately, the relatively low effectuation rate of elective surgery following successful repetitive endoscopic detorsion and recurrence-related poor prognosis are still important handicaps of the latter procedure.doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.40.9.10078How to cite this: Aksungur N, Disci E, Peksoz R, Atamanalp SS.

    Esra Disci, Rifat Peksoz, Enes Agirman, and Sabri Selcuk Atamananalp
    Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences
    Objectives: Sigmoid volvulus (SV) recurs in about one quarter of the patients, whereas multiplex (≥3) attacks are quite rare and attacks with five or more times are extremely rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate multiplex SV attacks in our series and worldwide data.Methods: In Ataturk University Faculty of Medicine Department of General Surgery, among 1,071-case SV series, data were evaluated retrospectively in 612 patients, while prospectively in 459 with respect to age, gender, previous volvulus attacks, and prognosis. Worldwide data were obtained from Web of Science database and they were compared with our results.Results: Mean SV attack count, multiple- (≥2) and multiplex- (≥3) attack rates were 1.4, 26.1%, and 4.2%, respectively, in our series, while they were 1.7, 26.7%, and 3.2%, respectively, in worldwide data (p>0.05, in all). In our series, recurrence rates were 26.1%, 19.3%, and 51.2%, respectively, (p<0.001, in all), while mortality rates were 7.3%, 13.7%, and 19.5%, respectively, (p<0.001, in all) in single-, double-, and multiplex- (≥3) attack patients.Conclusion: Although multiplex (≥3) attacks are uncommon in SV, when it goes up, elective surgery must be considered in selected cases to avoid repetitive attacks and related high mortality.doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.40.6.9172How to cite this: Disci E, Peksoz R, Agirman E, Atamanalp SS.

    Background and Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most common types of cancer. Although the disease is treatable in its early stages, five-year survival falls below 20% in the later stages. CEA and CA19-9 are tumor markers used in the diagnosis and follow-up of the disease in clinical practice; however, their diagnostic effectiveness is insufficient. Therefore, the identification of biomarkers that can be easily studied from serum and can diagnose CRC and determine its severity is highly important. In this context, dickkopf1 (DKK1) and cytoskeleton-associated protein 4 (CKAP4) are both promising biomarkers. Materials and Methods: Serum DKK1 and CKAP4 levels were measured in 55 patients with CRC and 40 healthy controls. The patients with CRC were divided into groups based on pathological stages and histological differentiation. The serum levels of both proteins in patients with CRC were measured preoperatively and 10 and 30 days postoperatively. Results: Serum DKK1 and CKAP4 were significantly higher in the CRC group than in the healthy controls (p < 0.05). Serum levels of both proteins rose in line with the disease stage and grade but decreased following surgical resection. A positive correlation was observed between tumor diameter and protein blood levels. The diagnostic efficacy of DKK1 and CKAP4 in CRC (approximately 95%) was higher than that of markers such as CEA and CA19-9. Conclusions: The DKK1 and CKAP4 serum values of patients with CRC are promising biomarkers. They can potentially be used in CRC management, namely, in the diagnosis and treatment of tumor response access and in tumor aggressiveness prediction.

  • Spontaneous decompression of sigmoid volvulus
    Nurhak Aksungur, Rifat Peksoz, Esra Disci, and Sabri Selcuk Atamanalp
    Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences
    Objectives: Spontaneous decompression is an uncommon outcome of sigmoid volvulus (SV). The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of spontaneously decompressed SV.&#x0D; Methods: We utilized the data of our 1,063 SV patients, the most comprehensive monocenter SV series in the world. To obtain the worldwide data on the spontaneous decompression of SV, we researched the last 56-years’ literature in Web of Science and PubMed databases.&#x0D; Results: The incidence of the spontaneous decompression was 0.1% (1/1,063) in our SV series, whereas it was 1.5% (8/549) in the worldwide data (Fisher exact test, p = 0.001). By this way, cumulative spontaneous decompression rate was found as 0.6% (9/1,602). In the spontaneously decompressed cases, the main clinical features were abdominal pain/tenderness, distention, and obstipation, which were similar to management-required patients. However, the treatment and follow-up algorithm is still a relatively undefined subject.&#x0D; Conclusion: Spontaneous decompression of SV is a very rare clinical entity. The clinical presentation and diagnosis of the spontaneously decompressed SV look alike the management-required SV. However, as seen in most management-required patients, SV tends to recur in the spontaneously decompressed cases and a recurrence-reducing procedure is required in selected patients.&#x0D; doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.39.6.8052&#x0D; How to cite this: Aksungur N, Peksoz R, Disci E, Atamanalp SS.

    Esra Disci, Rifat Peksoz, and Sabri Selcuk Atamanalp
    Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences
    Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) complicates about 15.7% of sigmoid volvulus (SV) cases. However, the pathophysiology of this relation is still unclear. Our objective was to evaluate the association of DM and SV.&#x0D; Methods: The clinical data of 1,051 patients treated in Ataturk University Faculty of Medicine during 56 years between June 1966 and July 2022 were considered. The records of 612 cases (58.2%) were evaluated retrospectively till June 1986, while 439 (41.8%) were investigated prospectively thereafter. To obtain the worldwide data, an electronic search of the last 56-years’ literature (from 1967 to date) was performed in Web of Science and PubMed databases.&#x0D; Results: DM was statistically higher in SV patients than of general population (15.7% vs. 8.3%, p&lt;0.001). Conversely, SV and DM co-occurrence was statistically lower in our series than of world-wide data (2.9% vs. 15.7%, p&lt;0.001). In our series, SV and DM comorbidity was statistically higher in elders that that of children (3.9% vs. 0.0%, p&lt;0.05). Although sigmoid gangrene was more common in DM patients when compared with that of total, the difference was not statistically significant (42.9% vs. 27.4%, p&gt;0.05). Conversely, the mortality rate was statistically higher in DM cases than that of no diabetics in SV (28.6% vs. 7.8%, p&lt;0.001).&#x0D; Conclusion: Although the pathophysiology of SV and DM comorbidity is still relatively unexplainable, our study suggests that DM worsens the prognosis of SV. For this reason, early diagnosis and proper treatment have great importance in such patients.&#x0D; doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.39.3.7309&#x0D; How to cite this: Disci E, Peksoz R, Atamanalp SS.

    BACKGROUND Sigmoid volvulus may recur following endoscopic decompression. Flatus tubes are traditionally used to prevent an early recurrence. This study aims to evaluate the recurrence-preventive role of the flatus tubes in sigmoid volvulus. METHODS Sigmoid volvulus recurrence was retrospectively analyzed in prospectively collected clinical data of endoscopically decompressed 60 patients, in whom no tube, rectal tube, or sigmoidal tube was used. RESULTS Mean pain/discomfort scores were higher in rectal and sigmoidal tube groups than that of no tube group (1.2 ± 0.4, 4.2 ± 0.9, and 3.5 ± 0.9, respectively, P < .001). The early recurrence was seen in 3 patients in the no tube group, while no early recurrence was determined during tube placement in the rectal and sigmoidal tube groups (15.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0%, respectively, P < .05, P < .05, and P > .05). The tubes were removed or spontaneously discharged in 13 (65.0%) and 12 patients (60.0%) in the rectal and sigmoidal tube groups, respectively, and sigmoid volvulus recurred in 2 patients in each group following the removal or spontaneous discharge. There was no statistically significant difference between the early recurrence rates of the no tube, rectal tube, and sigmoidal tube groups following the removal or spontaneous discharge of the tubes (15.0%, 15.4%, 16.7%, respectively, P > .05) and in total (15.0%, 10.0%, and 10.0%, respectively, P > .05). CONCLUSION Flatus tubes may prevent the early volvulus recurrence during their placement in sigmoid volvulus. Nevertheless, they generally cause pain and discomfort, and they are frequently removed or spontaneously discharged, which suppresses their recurrence- preventive effects.
