    Capitonnage results in low postoperative morbidity in the surgical treatment of pulmonary echinococcosis
    (2012) Yaldiz S.; Gursoy S.; Ucvet A.; Yaldiz D.; Kaya S.
    Background: The main surgical techniques in the treatment of pulmonary echinococcosis are cystotomy alone, cystotomy and capitonnage, enucleation, and pericystectomy. Controversy persists regarding the selection of surgical technique. We reviewed our experience to identify the impact of capitonnage on outcomes. Methods: A single-institution retrospective analysis was made of the 308 consecutive patients with thoracic hydatid disease treated surgically during 17 years. Results: The most common presenting symptoms were cough and chest pain. At presentation, 69 patients (22.4%) had complicated hydatid disease, cyst rupture into bronchus in 62 and into pleural cavity in 7. Bilateral involvement occurred in 37 patients (12.0%), simultaneous hepatic cysts in 36 (11.6%), and intrathoracic extrapulmonary involvement in 14 (4.5%). Surgery consisted of cystotomy with capitonnage in 271 patients (92.2%), cystotomy and closure of bronchial openings in 20 (6.8%), and lobectomy in 3 (1.0%). Hospital mortality was zero; postoperative complications developed in 21 patients (6.8%). Conclusions: Cystotomy with capitonnage has a low complication rate. Pulmonary resection is best limited to patients with parenchymal destruction secondary to infection. © 2012 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

    A thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding: A case report
    (Baycinar Medical Publishing, 2017) Yaldiz S.; Yaldiz D.; Tulay C.M.; Işisağ A.
    Neuroendocrine carcinomas of the thymus are rare clinical entities, which can be complicated by endocrine abnormalities. These tumors are frequently associated with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone production giving rise to Cushing's syndrome. Herein, we describe a 23-year-old male case with upper gastrointestinal bleeding as the initial presentation of a thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma. This case was reported due to its extremely exceptional occurrence. © 2017 All right reserved by the Turkish Society of Cardiovascular Surgery.

    Papillary predominant histological subtype predicts poor survival in lung adenocarcinoma
    (Baycinar Medical Publishing, 2019) Yaldiz D.; Acar A.; Kaya S.Ö.; Aydoğdu Z.; Gürsoy S.; Yaldiz S.
    Background: This study aims to investigate whether papillary predominant histological subtype can predict poor survival in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: Between January 2005 and December 2016, a total of 80 patients with papillary predominant subtype lung adenocarcinoma (70 males, 10 females; mean age 60.7 years; range, 42 to 79 years) operated in our clinic were included in the study. These patients were compared with those having lepidic, acinar, and mucinous subtypes. Overall and five-year survival rates were evaluated. Results: Five-year survival was 40.5% in papillary predominant histological subtype, while this rate was 70.9%, 59.0%, and 66.6% in lepidic, acinar, and mucinous subtypes, respectively. Papillary subtype showed significantly poor survival compared to lepidic (p=0.002), acinar (p=0.008), and mucinous subtypes (p=0.048). In Stage 1 disease, it was more evident (papillary, 47.5%, lepidic 86.9% [p=0.001], acinar 69.3% [p=0.040], and mucinous 90.0% [p=0.050]). Conclusion: Our study results suggest that papillary predominant subtype predicts poor survival in lung adenocarcinoma and these cases may be candidates for adjuvant treatment modalities even in the earlier stages of disease. © 2019 Turkish Society of Cardiovascular Surgery.
