Background: Endometriosis is a benign estrogen-dependent gynecological disease involving components of the female genital tract (uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, large, round, and utero-sacral ligaments) and intra- and extraperitoneal regions. Since the moment of its etiopathogeny has been identified, the intrinsic capacity of endometriosis malignant transformation has been hypothesized.

Patients, Materials And Methods: Our study included a total number of 50 patients diagnosed with endometriosis (31 cases) and endometriosis-related ovarian carcinoma (EOC) (19 cases). Read More

Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is primary cancer of the liver with poor prognosis because of its high potential for recurrence and metastasis. We experienced a rare case of ICC with hematogenous metastasis to the falciform ligament. We aimed to clarify the route of metastasis to the mesentery by increasing the accuracy of preoperative imaging and establish a hepatectomy to control cancer. Read More

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can show the architecture of the hip joint clearly and has been increasingly used in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) confirmation and follow-up. In this study, MRI was used to observe changes in the hip joints before and after closed reduction (CR) and to explore risk factors of residual acetabular dysplasia (RAD).

Methods: This is a prospective analysis of unilateral DDH patients with CR and spica cast in our hospital from October 2012 to July 2018. Read More

Case: Seven years after hip arthroscopy for cam impingement, a 47-year-old female patient suffered a valgus impacted femoral neck fracture of her left hip that was stabilized with cannulated screws. After fracture healing, she experienced persisting sharp groin pain that could be elicited in flexion/internal rotation and extension/adduction. We suspected a ligamentum teres impingement at the border of the acetabular fossa due to a post-traumatic fovea alta and performed an arthroscopic ligament resection. Read More

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Harran University, School of Medicine, Şanlıurfa, Turkey.

Objective: The aim of this study was to immunohistochemically identify and characterize the presence of sensory nerve endings (SNEs) in pulvinar, ligamentum teres (LT), and hip joint capsule (HJC) of children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Methods: Pulvinar, LT, and HJC specimens were obtained from 38 hips of 36 children (31 girls, five boys; mean age=49 months; age range=18-132 months) during open reduction surgery for DDH. All specimens underwent subsequent routine tissue processing (formalin fixation and paraffin embedding). Read More
