Abdominal Trauma and Injuries

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the clinical, radiological, and cost-related outcomes of early spica casting performed without anesthesia in the emergency department and spica casting performed under general anesthesia in the operating room for the treatment of femoral shaft fractures in children under five ye…

Primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma represents a very uncommon manifestation within the spectrum of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, comprising approximately 1% of the total caseload.We report the case of an eighty-year-old male who presented with unintentional weight loss, fever, and night sweats.Laboratory studies r…

The transition from open splenectomy (OS) to minimally invasive splenectomy is often described in the surgical literature but rarely documented longitudinally within a single institution. Hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy (HALS) has been proposed as a bridging technique between OS and total laparoscopic splenecto…

Accessory spleens are typically small nodular structures, most often measuring between 1 and 3 cm in diameter. They are generally asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during imaging or surgery. In the majority of cases, accessory spleens are situated near the splenic hilum, although they may also occur along t…

INTRODUCTION: Firearm injuries continue to be a major cause of trauma-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Abdominal firearm injuries are particularly critical due to the high risk of organ damage, hemorrhage, and sepsis. In trauma management, time to surgical intervention is considered one of the most decisive…

Crush sendromu, uzun süreli basıya bağlı kas dokusu hasarı sonrası gelişen ve sistemik komplikasyonlarla seyreden ciddi bir klinik tablodur. Özellikle depremler ve diğer kitlesel travma durumlarında sık görülmesi nedeniyle afet tıbbı açısından büyük önem taşır. Bu bölümde crush sendromunun patofizyolojisi, klinik bulg…

Background/Objectives: Early identification of high-risk trauma patients is essential for optimizing clinical decision-making and improving outcomes. Several trauma scoring systems are available, but their comparative performance for predicting early and short-term mortality remains uncertain. This study compared the…

Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes of surgical abdominal emergency. Based on the hypothesis that the C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio can differentiate the diagnosis of uncomplicated and complicated AA, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of the CRP to albumin ratio in the diagn…

BACKGROUND: Trauma is a major global health concern due to its potential to affect multiple organ systems and its association with high rates of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the accuracy of various trauma scoring systems in predicting morbidity and mortality among patients with b…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous abdominal wall hematomas (AWH), typically involving the iliopsoas or rectus sheath, are most often seen in elderly or anticoagulated patients. Their nonspecific presentation can mimic other acute abdominal conditions, delaying diagnosis and management. Computed tomography angiography (CTA), par…
