Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Prognostic Value of Metastatic Lymph Node Ratio in Pancreatic Cancer(Springer India, 2018-10-26) Karaca, Can; Coker, AhmetLymph node involvement in pancreatic adenocancer is one of the strongest predictors of prognosis. However, the extent of lymph node dissection is still a matter of debate and number of dissected nodes varies widely among patients. In order to homogenize this diverse group of patients and more accurately predict their prognosis, we aimed to analyze the effect of metastatic lymph node ratio as an independent prognostic factor. We retrospectively analyzed medical recordings of 326 patients with pancreatic cancer who were treated in a tertiary medical oncology center over a 10-year period. Both in univariate and multivariate analyses, metastatic lymph node ratio proved to be a strong predictor of prognosis which was unaffected from heterogeneity of our patient population and can be used to facilitate predict prognosis of patients who underwent lymph node dissection to various extents and with future studies it can emerge as a successful tool for creating prognostic subgroups of the disease.Conference Object Liver Transplantation for Acute Liver Failure (alf)(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2017) Farajov, R.; Iakobadze, Z.; Karaca, Can; Yilmaz, C.; Kilic, K.; Aksu, G.; Tosun, A.[Abstract Not Available]Conference Object Donor Complications Encountered Among Right Lobe Live Liver Donors(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Farajov, R.; Iakobadze, Z.; Vatansever, S.; Karaca, C.; Yilmaz, C.; Kilic, K.; Kilic, M.Article Citation - WoS: 4Retrospective Evaluation of Candidemic Patients Among General Surgery Department in a Tertiary Care University Hospital(Turkish Surgical Assoc, 2019-09-23) Onal, Ugur; Metin, Dilek Yesim; Karaca, Can; Polat, Suleyha Hilmioglu; Ersin, Sinan; Tasbakan, Meltem IsikgozObjective: Candida species are among the most important causes of hospital acquired blood borne infections, and with high rates of mortality and morbidity, these infections are still a major problem today. History of gastrointestinal surgery, administration of total parenteral nutrition and/or wide spectrum antibiotics and immune suppression following organ transplantations are considered serious risk factors for these infections. This study aimed to evaluate the patients from our general surgery department with diagnosed candidemia; by means of strain, treatment and prognosis. Material and Methods: Patients with positive blood cultures for Candida species who were treated in the wards and Ege University Faculty of Medicine general surgery department of surgical intensive care units of our between 2012 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed by means of strain, treatment and prognosis. Results: A total of 50 patients were enrolled in the study. Mean age was 58.96 years and 54% of the patients were female. There were nine patients with organ transplantation (four liver and five kidney transplantations), six with intestinal perforation and three with anastomotic leakage. Isolated strains were Candida albicans (36%; 18/50), Candida tropicalis (14%; 7/50), Candida glabrata (12%; 6/50), Candida parapsilosis (8%; 4/50), Candida kefyr (6%; 3/50), Candida krusei (4%; 2/50), Candida pulcherrima (2%; 1/50), Cryptococcus neoformans (2%, 1/50), Geotrichum capitatum (2%, 1/50), Candida spp. (unidentified, 14%; 7/50) with decreasing frequency. The highest antifungal sensitivity rates (> 90%) were measured for amphotericin B, voriconazole and echinocandins among all isolates. One-month mortality rate was 43.4% (20/46). Documented eradication was achieved among 24 of the 33 patients who had control blood culture samples (72.7%), and mean eradication time was 7.6 days. Echocardiography was performed in 14% (7/50) and ophthalmic examination in 8% (4/50). Conclusion: Although C. albicans appears to be the dominant strain in patients with candidemia, frequencies of other strains are increasing. Early diagnosis and treatment of patients with candidemia is of vital importance due to high mortality and morbidity rates.Article Congenital Absence of Portal Vein Presenting With Macroscopic Hematuria: a Case Report With a Brief Review of the Literature(2021-08-17) Karaca, Avni Can; Yılmaz, Cahit Hüseyin; Karaca, CanCongenital absence of the portal vein is a rare clinical entity in which portal blood flow is partially or totally diverted to the systemic circulation. This condition causes a myriad of clinical symptoms and is associated with other congenital abnormalities mostly of cardiac and vascular origin. A 14-year-old male patient with type IB Abernethy malformation who presented with macroscopic hematuria was treated with live donor liver transplantation. The medical recordings of the patient were retrospectively reviewed, and the case was presented with a brief review of the literature. The patient had associating nut-cracker syndrome and liver masses that were revealed to be focal nodular hyperplasia. The patient is doing well in the postoperative course. Liver transplantation offers a safe and radical treatment for this very rare anatomic malformation. It not only corrects aberrant portal flow but also prevents other life-threatening complications such as hepatopulmonary syndrome and possible liver malignancies.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Bilioenteric Reconstruction Techniques in Pediatric Living Donor Liver Transplantation(Wiley, 2020-10-01) Kılıç, Murat; Karaca, Can; Yılmaz, Cahit; Farajov, Rasim; Iakobadze, Zaza; Kilic, Kamil; Aydogdu, SemaBiliary complications (BCs) are still a major cause of morbidity following liver transplantation despite the advancements in the surgical technique. Although Roux-en-Y (RY) hepaticojejunostomy has been the standard technique for years in pediatric patients, there is a limited number of reports on the feasibility of duct-to-duct (DD) anastomosis, and those reports have controversial outcomes. With the largest number of patients ever reported on the topic, this study aims to discuss the feasibility of the DD biliary reconstruction technique in pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). After the exclusion of the patients with biliary atresia, patients who received either deceased donor or right lobe grafts, and retransplantation patients, data from 154 pediatric LDLTs were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were grouped according to the applied biliary reconstruction technique, and the groups were compared using BCs as the outcome. The overall BC rate was 13% (n = 20), and the groups showed no significant difference (P = 0.6). Stricture was more frequent in the DD reconstruction group; however, this was not statistically significant (P = 0.6). The rate of bile leak was also similar in both groups (P = 0.6). The results show that the DD reconstruction technique can achieve similar outcomes when compared with RY anastomosis. Because DD reconstruction is a more physiological way of establishing bilioenteric integrity, it can safely be applied.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Impact of Visual Thinking in Medical Education(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2021-10-23) Demir, Ayse Banu; Okuyan; van Eck, Alexander; Mura, Gokhan; Gonlugur, Emre; Karaca, Can; Abacioglu, Hakan; Okuyan, ZuhalBackground Considering medical humanities, medicine and art are two areas that resemble each other at several features. Clinical diagnosis involves the observation, description and interpretation of information of which visual ones take an important one. The skills described are important skills in the field of visual arts, as well. Underlying a good clinical practice; clinical examination and observation skills constitute an important place. Although in several studies, these skills are shown to be improved by analyzing visual art pieces, courses intended to improve visual thinking skills are not that much common in medical faculty curriculums. Materials and methods In this article, we share our opinion about the use of visual thinking in medical education by providing preliminary reflection results of learners from the second year of medical education about the visual thinking course that we have recently started to apply in Faculty of Medicine in collaboration with Faculty of Fine Arts in Izmir University of Economics in order to improve the observational skills of learners. Results Reflection results of the learners support the view that training art-viewing skill is helpful to improve observational and descriptive skills. Conclusions Increasing interdisciplinary programs on visual thinking in medical curriculums have the potential to overcome several professional development challenges in clinics.Conference Object Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (hcc)(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2017) Farajov, R.; Yilmaz, C.; Iakobadze, Z.; Karaca, C.; Kilic, K.; Aksu, G.; Tosun, A.[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasms of the Pancreas: Case Series With a Review of the Literature(Aves, 2020-12-15) Uguz, Alper; Unalp, Omer Vedat; Akpinar, Goksever; Karaca, Can Avni; Oruc, Nevin; Nart, Deniz; Yilmaz, Funda; Aydın, Ahmet; Coker, AhmetBackground/Aims: The solid pseudopapillary neoplasms are quite rare tumors of the pancreas, comprising roughly 1-2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. It has a low malignant potential and usually affects young females. Despite increasing number of articles in the last decade, there is still debate on the pathogenesis, malignant potential and optimal surgical strategy for the solid pseudopapillary neoplasms. Materials and Methods: Medical recordings of 326 patients who were operated due to pancreatic mass were retrospectively analyzed. Patient demographics, presenting symptoms, surgical and pathologic characteristics of the tumor, postsurgical course, long-term survival, and other relevant data were extracted from patients' charts. Results: Majority of the patients were female in consistency with the classic data in the literature. All the patients underwent curative intent resections. Tumors were commonly localized in the tail of the pancreas making distal pancreatectomy the most commonly performed surgical procedure. Mean tumor diameter was 5.8 centimeters with tumor sizes ranging from 1 to 19 cm. Conclusion: The solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas is a rare tumor with low malignant potential, which is more common in females of reproductive age, with abdominal pain being their most common presentation. The short-term outcomes in patients following surgical R0 resection are excellent. However, proximal placement of the tumor and female gender may have slightly worse prognosis. We hope that our findings from a series of patients represent a contribution to the existing literature on SPN, and authors declare their willingness to provide further details for future meta-analyses.Article Hepatoselüler Kanser için Karaciğer Nakli: Altı Yıllık Deneyimin Öğrettikleri(2020) Yılmaz, Cahit Hüseyin; Karaca, Avni Can; Karaca, CanAmaç: Karaciğer nakli (KN), hepatosellüler karsinom (HSK) için en iyi tedavi seçeneği olmaya devametmektedir. Milano kriterlerinin ortaya çıktığı 1996 yılından bu yana, hasta seçimi çok önem kazanmıştırancak bu kriterlerin kısıtlayıcılığı tartışılmaktadır. Canlı vericili KN dünya çapında artık daha rutin bir şekildeyapıldığından, daha fazla hastanın bu tedaviden faydalanabilmesi için orijinal kriterlere ek olarak birçok yenikriter ve / veya bu kriterlerin genişletilmiş versiyonları literatürde önerilmektedir.Bu çalışma, KN ile kabul edilebilir sonuçlar elde edilen hastaların sayısını artırmak için literatürdeki hergün daha da büyüyen dataya katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Altı yıllık bir sürede HSK için KN uygulanan 187 yetişkin hastanın tıbbi kayıtlarıretrospektif olarak toplandı. Hastalar Milan ve UCSF kriterlerine göre sınıflandırıldı. Her hasta için sağkalım süreleri, tümör, karaciğer hastalığı ve nüks ile ilgili veriler kaydedildi ve sonuçlar istatistikselolarak analiz edildi.Bulgular: Nüks ve sağ kalımı önemli ölçüde etkileyen faktörler histolojik farklılaşma, tümörün sayısı vebüyüklüğü ve vasküler invazyon varlığı olarak saptandı. Serum alfa-fetoprotein düzeylerinin sonuçlarıönemli ölçüde etkilemediği görüldü.Her iki kriteri de aşan hastalar arasında, toplam tümör boyutu 160 mm'den az olan hastaların sonuçlarıanlamlı derecede daha iyi olarak saptandı (p = 0,007).Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, vasküler invazyon, kötü diferansiasyon, 6’dan fazla odak ve 160 mm'yi aşantümörü olan HSK hastaları daha yüksek nüks oranları ve daha kötü sonuçlar göstermektedir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Hepatoselüler kanser, karaciğer nakli, sağ kalım, prognoz.Not: Bu makaleyi oluşturan verilerin farklı güncellikteki versiyonları aşağıda sıralanan etkinliklerderapor edilmiş / sunulmuştur:• 24–27 Mayıs 2017, Prag/Joint International Congress of ILTS, ELITA & Licage–Poster Sunumu• 23–26 Mayıs 2018, Lizbon/Joint International Congress of ILTS, ELITA & Licage–Poster Sunumu• 15–18 Mayıs 2019, Toronto/Joint International Congress of ILTS, ELITA & Licage–Poster Sunumu• 23–26 Ekim 2019, Antalya/14.
