    The aim of this study was to explore the success rates of Bakri balloon placement in patients with placenta previa and uterine atony. In addition, we compared bilateral internal iliac artery ligation (B-IIAL) and Bakri balloon placement in terms of their ability to inhibit haemorrhage in postpartum placenta previa patients. The hospital reports filed annually from 2010 to 2015 were reviewed. In total, 54 patients were evaluated: 42 patients with placenta previa and uterine atony were treated with Bakri balloons, and 12 placenta previa patients with postpartum haemorrhage underwent B-IIAL when medical treatment failed. The results showed that the success rates of Bakri balloon placement rate in placenta previa and uterine atony patients were 71.4% and 89.2%, respectively. The comparative analysis of placenta previa patients treated via Bakri balloon placement and B-IIAL showed that the requirements for packed red blood cell and fresh frozen plasma, pre- and post-partum haemoglobin levels, pre- and post-partum platelet counts, and hospitalization times differed significantly between the two groups (all p < 0.05). Bakri balloon tamponade could be considered an effective treatment for placenta previa and uterine atony. The technique is minimally invasive and can serve as a second-line treatment for patients with postpartum haemorrhage when medical procedures fail. © 2017 The Author(s).

    Comparison of primary midline closure, limberg flap, and karydakis flap techniques in pilonidal sinus surgery
    (International Scientific Information, Inc., 2018) Erkent, Murathan; Şahiner, İbrahim Tayfun; Bala, Mesut; Kendirci, Murat; Yıldırım, Murat Baki; Topcu, Ramazan; Bostanoğlu, Settar; Dolapçı, Mete
    Background: Pilonidal sinus (PS) is a common disease of the sacrococcygeal-natal region. There are many treatment options, but there is still no consensus on the ideal treatment. We compared the results of our PS patients who were treated with primary midline closure (PMC), Limberg flap repair (LFR), and Karydakis flap (KF). Material/Methods: The data for 924 PS patients from 2013 to 2017 were retrospectively examined. Demographic data, surgical procedures, schedules, and recurrence rates were examined. Results: The mean age was 28.4 years (14–77 years), 82.5% were male (n=762), and 17.5% were female (n=162). PMC was performed on 53.7% (n=496) of the patients, 32.5% (n=300) received LFR, and 13.9% (n=128) underwent KF. PMC was the first choice among females but LFR was the first choice in recurrent patients. The recurrence rate was 10.8% in the PMC group, 8% in the LFR group, and 3.1% in the KF group. In Short Form Survey-36 (SF-36) scores, the best cosmetic outcomes were observed in cases of PMC (p<0.05). Overall, wound dehiscence (WD) was observed in 7.5%, surgical site infection (SSI) in 2.4%, and seroma in 8.5% of all patients. The KF group had the lowest complication rates (p<0.01). Conclusions: According to the results of this study, the reason for preferring PMC among women is cosmetic concerns. PMC still remains important for treatment, but it should be noted that the recurrence rates due to inadequate excision are mostly observed in cases of PMC. Considering their low recurrence rates, LFR or KF should be considered first. When low recurrence rates, patient comfort, and cosmetic results are evaluated together, KF in particular emerges as a method preferred by physicians and patients. © Med Sci Monit, 2018.
