Transplantation procedure used if the recipient and donor do not have a special anatomical variation today; left lateral segment in the pediatric age group, and right lobe in the adult age group. Biliary atresia in children and various liver diseases like metabolic events in adults are the major causes of liver transplantation. Liver transplantation is challenging in the patients with congenital vascular anomalies. Infrahepatic interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare congenital anomaly with the incidence of 0.6% to 2% and mostly found with congenital heart disease. In this study we tried to report a 58-year old male patient with a diagnosis of decompensated liver cirrhosis caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) who was hospitalized for the first time for living donor liver transplantation, Günümüzde alıcı ve vericinin özel anatomik bir varyasyonunun yokluğunda kullanılan transplantasyon prosedürü; pediatrik yaş grubu için sol lateral segmentin alınması, erişkin yaş grubunda ise sağ lobun kullanılmasıdır. Çocuklarda biliyer atrezi, erişkinlerde ise metabolik olaylar gibi çeşitli karaciğer hastalıkları karaciğer transplantasyonu için başlıca nedenlerdir. Karaciğer transplantasyonu, konjenital damar anomalisi olan hastalar için oldukça zor bir işlemdir. İnferior vena cavadaki, infrahepatik kesinti %0,6 ile %2 oranında gerçekleşen oldukça nadir bir konjetinal anomalidir ve genellikle konjenital kalp hastalığı ile birlikte görülür. Biz bu çalışmada, hepatit B virüsü (HBV) zemininde gelişen dekompanse karaciğer yetmezliği tanısı olan ve canlı vericiden karaciğer nakli için ilk kez hastaneye yatışı yapılan 58 yaşındaki erkek hastayı takdim etmek istedik.

Kırıkhan İlçesi jeolojik yapı olarak Doğu Anadolu Fay Hattı üzerinde yer almakta ve birinci derece deprem kuşağında bulunmaktadır. İlçe merkezinde ve bağlı mahallelerin bazılarında dolgu alanı üzerinde yerleşmeler görülmektedir. Kırıkhan 2017 nüfus sayımı verilerine göre 113.096 kişi ile Hatay İlinin altıncı büyük ilçesi konumundadır. Kırıkhan yerleşmesinin gelişimi son zamanlarda çarpık kentleşmenin etkisiyle jeolojik etütlerin zıttı yönde ova istikametinde gelişmektedir. Bu da verimli alüvyal sahalara yerleşilmesine neden olmuştur. İlçenin ve çevresinin yeraltı ve yerüstü analizleri dikkate alınmadan kontrolsüz oluşan yerleşme gelişimi fay hattı üzerinde riskli yerleşmelerin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmaktadır.Kırıkhan ilçesinin ortasından geçen Delibekirli Çayı yatağı ve çevresi gerek jeolojik gerekse jeomorfolojik olarak heyelan, sel ve taşkın alanı özelliği göstermesine rağmen halen bu yatak boyunca yerleşmeler artarak devam etmektedir. İlçenin KB yönünde boylu boyunca uzanan Amanos Dağları'nda iklimin doğal bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan kızılçam, maki gibi bitki örtülerinin aşırı tahribiyle garigler ortaya çıkmaya devam etmektedir. Kırıkhan ilçe merkezinin doğusunda yer alan ve Amik Gölü'nün kalıntısı olan Gölbaşı (Balık) Gölü'nün suları tarla sulama çalışmalarıyla azalmaktadır. Türkiye'de son zamanlarda bölgesel kalkınma planları çerçevesinde yerleşme yerlerinin, yatırımların veya sanayi kuruluşlarının yerlerinin seçiminde zemin analizleri yapılmaktadır. Gerekli mekânsal analizleri yaparak bu yerleşmelerin gelişiminin gelecekteki olası sonuçlarını tüm yönleriyle ele almak ve bu sonuçların etki alanlarını ortaya çıkarmak çok önemlidir. `Kırıkhan İlçesinin Fiziki Coğrafyası` adlı bu çalışma Türkiye Fiziki Coğrafyasına olduğu kadar Türkiye Beşeri ve Ekonomik Coğrafyası araştırmalarına önemli katkılarda bulunacağına inanılmaktadır. Fiziki çevre barındırmış olduğu jeolojik yapısı gereğince doğal olarak sürekli beşeri coğrafyayı etkilemiştir. Ülkemizde yaşayan insanların geçim kaynağına bakıldığında -Kırıkhan ilçesini de buna dahil edebiliriz- hizmet sektörü en önde geldiği görülmektedir. Buna ilaveten Kırıkhan İlçesi'nin geçim kaynağını tarımsal faaliyetler ve tarıma dayalı ticari faaliyetler de ilçe halkının geçim kaynaklarını oluşturmaktadır. Suriyedeki iç ve dış savaşın etkisiyle kendi ülkelerini terk ederek ülkemize sığınarak ilçeye gelen Suriyeli misafirlerimizin de etkisiyle ilçe nüfusu sürekli artmaktadır. Yerleşmenin gelişim yönüne bakıldığında ise verimli alüvyal sahalarda mesken ve küçük ölçekli fabrikaların yapıldığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca verimli toprakların tarımda kullanılırken gerekli analizler yapılmadığı, modern tarımsal yöntemlerin kullanılmadığı ve bunun neticesinde ise olumsuz bir takım sonuçlar doğurduğu görülmektedir. Fiziki coğrafya alanındaki mekânsal analizlerle sorunların tespitini yaparak Beşeri coğrafyayla kıyas edip ortaya çıkan sorunlara çözüm önerileri getirmek çalışmamızın asıl amacıdır. Kırıkhan district is located on the Eastern Anatolian Fault Line as a geological structure and is located on the first degree earthquake zone. Some settlement areas are seen in the district center and some of the connected neighborhoods. Kırıkhan is the sixth largest city of Hatay province with 113,096 people according to the census of 2017. The development of the Kırıkhan settlement has recently developed in the direction of the plain opposite to the effect of the distorted urbanization. This has led to the settlement of fertile alluvial lands. Uncontrolled settlement development without taking into account the underground and overground analysis of the town and its environs causes risky settlements to appear on the fault line. Although Delibekirli stream bed and its surroundings passing through the middle of the Kırıkhan district show both geologically and geomorphologically landslide, flood and flood area features, the settlements continue to increase throughout this bed. In the Amanos Mountains, which stretch along the length of the town in the direction of the KB, garigs continues to emerge with extreme destruction of plant coverings, such as pinus brutia maquis that emerged as a natural result of climate.The waters of Gölbaşı (Balık) Lake, which is located in the east of Kırıkhan district center and remains of Amik Lake, decrease with fresh irrigation works.In recent years in Turkey, there has been a background analysis of investments in settlements or selection of industrial establishments within the framework of regional development plans. It is very important to carry out necessary spatial analyzes in terms of geographical point of view, to handle all possible consequences of the future development of these settlements and to reveal their influence areas. This study, called Physical Geography of Kırıkhan district is believed to contribute to the Physical Geography Turkey as well as the Human and Economic Geography of TurkeyThe geological structure of the physical environment has naturally affected human geography continuously. When we look at the sources of livelihood of the people living in our country, we can include Kırıkhan district - the service sector seems to be leading. In addition to this, the livelihood of Kırıkhan district is the agricultural activities and the commercial activities based on agriculture are the sources of livelihood of the people of the district. With the effect of internal and external wars in Syria, the population of the district is constantly increasing due to the influence of our Syrian guests who have left their countries and took refuge in the country.When the development of the settlement is considered, it is seen that the productive alluvial settlement houses and small scale factories are made. In addition, it is observed that the necessary analyzes are not carried out while the fertile soil is used in agriculture, modern agricultural methods are not used and in consequence there are some negative results. It is the main aim of our work to bring solutions to the problems arising from the comparison with the human geography by determining the problems with the spatial analyzes in the physical geography area. 104

LIVER transplantation ,BILIARY atresia ,CHILD patients ,DEATH rate ,ABDOMINAL surgery - Abstract
In this study, possible risk factors of gastrointestinal perforations (GIP) that increase mortality after liver transplantation in children were investigated. One hundred and thirty‐one pediatric patients who underwent 139 liver transplants between January 2016 and February 2020 were evaluated retrospectively based on preoperative and surgical data. Furthermore, cases with biliary atresia, which constitute 26.7% (35) of the patients, were compared within themselves and with other groups. It was found that the cases that developed perforations were younger, lower in weight, and had higher number of surgeries than those who did not, while the mortality and morbidity rates were higher in these patients. When cases with biliary atresia were analyzed within themselves, no significant difference was found between perforated biliary atresia and non‐perforated cases in terms of age, weight, and previous surgery. When biliary atresia and other etiologies were compared, biliary atresia cases were found to be transplanted at a younger age, at a lower weight, and this group had a higher risk for perforation. Early laparotomy should be performed in order to reduce mortality in GIPs. Patients that are younger, underweight, previously operated, and using mesh must be closely monitored.

General Surgery ,Genel Cerrahi - Abstract
Peritoneal kontaminasyon ve eşlik eden peritoniti olan hastalarda yapılan intestinal anastomoz kötü sonuçlara sahiptir. İntraabdominal sepsis hipovolemi, immunsupresyon, hipoalbuminemi ve yetersiz doku oksijenlenmesine neden olur ve yara iyileşmesini bozar ve anastomoz kaçağı riskini artırır. Bu vakalarda anastomoz iyileşmesini geliştirmek için çok sayıda çalışmalar yapılmıştırBüyüme Hormonu (BH) ve Glutamin yara iyileşmesi üzerine etkileri için çok defa araştırılmıştır. BH hem fibroblast hem de hidroksiprolin üretimini indükler ve yara iyileşmesinin proliferatif fazı üzerine pozitif etkilere sahiptir. Glutamin ise enterositlerin primer enerji kaynağıdır ve yara iyileşmesi sürecinde etkin olan fibroblast, makrofaj, epitelyal hücreler ve lenfositler gibi hücrelerin enerji kaynağıdırBiz bu çalışmamızda BH ve Glutaminin kombine kulanılmasının intraabdominal sepsis rat modelinde barsak anastomozu üzerine etkisini araştırdıkMateryal ve MetotAğırlıkları 180-240 gram arasında değişen 40 adet erkek Sprague Dawley Albino rat çalışmaya dahil edildi ve her birisi 8 rat'dan oluşan 5 gruba bölündü. Gruplar şöyle şekillendirildi. Kontrol grubu (n=8), Sham Grubu (n=8), BH grubu (n=8), Glutamin grubu (n=8), Glutamin+BH grubu (Kombine grup) (n=8). Kontrol grubundaki ratlarda ameliyat öncesi ve ameliyat sonrası dönemlerde rutin enteral beslenme dışında başka bir şey verilmedi. Glutamin grubuna 1 mg/kg/gün dozunda oral Glutamin, BH grubuna 1 mg/kg/gün subkutan BH ve Glutamin+BH grubuna ise aynı dozlarda ve aynı yollarla Glutamin ve BH verildi. Ratlarda intestinal perforasyon ve intraabdominal sepsis oluşturuldu ve bu perforasyon 24 saat sonra tamir edildi. Kontrol grubu, Glutamin grubu, BH grubu ve kombine grubundaki ratlar orta hat insizyonla postoperatif 5. gün tekrar açıldı. Eksplorasyonda primer tamir alanının iyileşmesi değerlendirildi. Primer onarım alanı patlama basıncı ölçümü için test edildi. Bu alan daha sonra çıkarılarak hidroksiprolin düzeyinin belirlenmesi için biyokimyasal incelemeye alındıSonuçlarKontrol grubunun, Glutamin grubunun, BH grubunun, glutamin ve BH'ninkombine kullanıldığı grubun ortalama patlama basıncı değerleri; 21±5,4 mmHg, 32±3,6 mmHg, 45±4,2 mmHg, 56±4,5 mmHg idi. Kontrol grubunun, Glutamin grubunun, BH grubunun, glutamin ve BH'nin kombine kullanıldığı grubun ortalama doku hidroksiprolin düzeyleri; 2,3±0,7 mg/ml, 4,5±0,9 mg/ml, 5,2±0,9 mg/ml, 7,6±1,2 mg/ml idi. Kombine grubun ortalama patlama basınçları ve hidroksiprolin düzeyleri, diğer çalışma gruplarının patlama basınçları ve hidroksiprolin düzeyleri ile karşılaştırıldığında istatiksel olarak çok anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p=0.01TartışmaGlutamin ve BH'nin kombine kullanımının pozitif etkileri vardır. İntraabdominal sepsis şartlarında yapılan intestinal anastomoz risklidir. Bu yüzden çalışmalar güvenli ve düşük riskli anastomoz sağlayan tedavi modalitelerine yönelmiştir. Biz bu çalışmada, glutamin ve BH'nin kombine kullanımının tek tek kullanımına göre intraabdominal sepsis rat modelinde daha iyi anastomoz iyileşmesi ve gerginliği sağladığını bulduk. Bizim bulgularımızın uygun klinik çalışmalarla desteklenmesi gerekir. SummaryBackgroundIntestinal anastomosis performed in patients with peritoneal contamination and accompaning peritonitis has poor outcomes. Intraabdominal sepsis leads to hypovolemia, immunsupression, hipoalbuminemia and poor tissue oxygenation and thus to impairment in wound healing and increase the risk of anastomosis breakdown. Many studies were performed to improve anastomosis healing in these casesGrowth hormone (GH) and Glutamine were investigated for their effect at wound healing several times. GH induces both the production of fibroblasts and hydroxyproline and has positive effects at the proliferative phase of wound healing. Glutamine is the primary energy source of enterocytes and serves as energy source for the cells including fibroblasts, macrophages, epithelial cells and lymphocytes, which are active at the wound healing processWe tried to present the effects combined use of GH and Glutamine on the anastomosis in an intraabdominal sepsis rat model.Materials and MethodsForty male Sprague Dawley Albino rats weighting between 180 and 240 grams were included to the study and divided in 5 groups each consisted of 8 rats. Groups were as follows: Control group (n=8), Sham group (n=8), Glutamine group (n=8), GH group (n=8), Glutamine+GH group (Combined group) (n=8). Control group received nothing else than routine enteral feeding pre and post-operatively. Glutamine group received oral Glutamine at doses 1 mg/kg/day, GH group received subcutaneous GH at doses 1 mg/kg/day and combined group received Glutamine and GH at the same ways and same doses. Intestinal perforation and intraabdominal sepsis was established in the rats and the perforation was primary repaired after 24 hours. The rats in the Control group, Glutamine group, GH group and combined group underwent a midline incision at the 5.postoperative day. At the exploration the primary repair area was assessed for healing. The primary repair was tested for bursting pressure. This area was than excised and sent for biochemical evaluation for the determination of hydroxyproline levels.ResultsMean bursting pressure of the control group, Glutamine group, GH group and combined group was 21±5,4 mmHg, 32±3,6 mmHg, 45±4,2 mmHg and 56±4,5, respectively. Mean hydroxyproline level of the control group, Glutamine group, GH group and combined group was 2,3±0,7 mg/ml, 4,5±0,9 mg/ml, 5,2±0,9 mg/ml, 7,6±1,2 mg/ml, respectively. Mean bursting pressures and hydroxyproline levels of the combined group were statistically higher when compared with other groups (p=0.01 for each).DiscussionThe combined use of Glutamine and GH has positive effects on wound healing. Intestinal anastomosis in the settings of intraabdominal sepsis is risky. Therefore investigations are addressed towards treatment modalities that establish safe anastomoses with low risk. We showed in this study that combined use of Glutamine and GH provides a better anastomosis healing and strength in intraabdominal sepsis rat model compared to single use of Glutamine or GH. Our findings have to be supported with appropriate clinical studies. 48

- Abstract
Background: Exercise interventions improve muscle performance and functionality when applied more than 6 months after liver trans- plantation, but no studies have reported on earlier exercise interventions. Hence, we assessed the effects of early resistance training on functional outcomes in adult liver recipients., Methods: The study included 30 liver transplantation patients (53.2 ± 12.4 years) randomly assigned to a training group (n = 15) or a control group (n = 15). Data collected preoperatively and 4 and 8 weeks post-surgery were analyzed, including peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, physical performance, and fatigue. An 8-week physiotherapy program was applied (training group: standard physiotherapy + resistance training; control group: standard physiotherapy) for 2 sessions/day, 5 days/week., Results: Baseline data showed a homogeneous distribution in the between-group comparisons. In the within-group analysis; EG showed higher improvements in physical performance (TG: P = .001, CG: P = .05) and fatigue perception (TG: P = .001; CG: P = .006), than the CG. The TG showed eight-week improvements in exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength, and maximal inspiratory pressure (P = .001), and maximal expiratory pressure (P = .047), while CG remained unchanged (P > .05). In the between-group analysis; the improvements indicated significant differences in deltoid strength and fatigue perception, in favor of the TG (P < .05). A change of 0.9 kg in peripheral muscle strength and >37.8 m in 6-min walk distance (6MWD) was determined, representing clinically significant improvement in liver recipients., Conclusion: Early resistance training may improve muscle strength, exercise capacity, physical performance, and fatigue perception in liver recipients, when added to standard physiotherapy. The estimated minimal clinically important differences are meaningful to clini- cians in setting liver transplanted patient-specific goals.

- Abstract
Background: Blunt colonic injuries are rare but can complicate the management of the blunt trauma patient and worsen the outcome. We analyzed in this study the colonic injuries caused by blunt abdominal trauma., Methods: The records of 64 patients (60 male, 4 female; mean age 39.3 years; range 16 to 69 years) were investigated retrospectively. The records were reviewed for clinical presentation, investigations, diagnostic methods, associated injuries, time from injury to operation, site of colon injury, operative management, morbidity, and mortality., Results: One-stage operation was performed in 53 cases (82.8%) and two-stage operation in 11 cases (17.2%). The treatment chosen was strongly related with the degree of fecal contamination and grade of colonic injury (p<0.01). The overall incidence of colonic injury-related abdominal complications was 26.5% (17 cases). There were six non-colon-related and one colon-related mortalities. Shock at presentation, severe fecal contamination, colon injury scale (CIS) grade, and associated injuries were related with complications and mortality., Conclusion: We conclude that in patients with shock at presentation, severe fecal contamination and higher CIS grade, two-staged operation is appropriate.
