The Deadly Cyst in the Heart Has Been Successfully Removed!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A 34-year-old patient named B. B had a cyst in his heart in the echocardiography taken at Artvin State Hospital, where he went to get a medical report to get a job in December. The patient, who was urgently referred to our hospital for advanced treatment, was treated in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of our hospital. In the examinations performed, it was determined that the cyst located in  the heart developed due to the parasite named "echinococcus" which is transmitted from animals to humans. It was decided to remove the cyst, which was observed to be quite enlarged in the heart and almost completely filled the heart cavity, with open heart surgery because it was life-threatening. The patient, whose heart cyst was removed after a successful operation, was discharged home 4 days after the operation. During his controls, it was seen that the problem in his heart was completely cured. Prof. Dr. Ahmet Coşkun ÖZDEMİR stated that cyst transmitted from animals to humans through some parasites is not uncommon. However, he stated that these cysts are generally located in the liver and lungs and that these cysts are seen in the heart in only 1% of the patients. Prof. Dr. Ahmet Coşkun ÖZDEMİR stated that the cyst was located in the right ventricle of the heart in this patient and therefore this case is a very rare condition in the world. Stating that the patient's problems were completely resolved after the surgery and he was discharged after 4 days, Prof. Dr. ÖZDEMİR  said that“The patient was living with a fatal disease in his heart, although he was not aware of it at all. Until today, it has been a great chance for the patient that the cyst has not ruptured. He gained his health with surgery, ” adding that people dealing with animal husbandry should be careful about hydatid cyst disease.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="4496" img_size="large" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]Assistant Professor Dr. İlke Onur KAZAZ, stated that the treatment of metastatic kidney tumors with open and closed surgery methods was performed in Farabi Hospital, Department of Urology and that a positive contribution was made to the life expectancy of patients.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our 14-year-old female patient, who applied to our hospital, had complaints of pain in her back and waist, balance problems, and deformities in her body for a long time. Our patient was diagnosed with "Scoliosis" in the examinations. Scoliosis surgery, which can be performed in very few centers in Turkey, was carried out by a team led by Assistan Prof. Dr. Ali EREN, one of our faculty members in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology. Our patient was discharged with full recovery after the operation. Our hospital is taking firm steps towards becoming a healing center in the international arena with such surgeries that can be performed in a few centers.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="4483" img_size="large" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]Scoliosis is the lateral curvature of the spine in the chest or lumbar regions. It can be seen alone or with humpback. In this case, it is called kyphoscoliosis. It is most common in adolescents without an underlying cause. Especially severe disease is more common in girls. It may cause significant cosmetic problems for the patient. It can be the cause of pain. Severe scoliosis can lead to lung diseases. Scoliosis, which can be diagnosed by examination and radiographs of the patient, has a curvature angle that can be measured in radiographs. Basically, the treatment of the patient is arranged according to this angle. Surgery is required for severe scoliosis.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type="image_grid" images="4484,4485,4486,4487,4488,4489,4491,4490"][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Intercontinental Organ Transplantation In Our Hospital

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Samer Ramadan, a 60-year-old Lebanese-born US citizen, who applied for kidney transplantation due to kidney failure, received a successful kidney transplant at KTU Farabi Hospital. The patient's kidney donor cousin was French citizen Talat Kabbara. He came from Paris and donated his kidney to his cousin. Transplant preparations of the patients were made by the Department of Nephrology, headed by Prof. Dr. Şükrü ULUSOY. After the legal procedures and examinations required for organ transplantation, it was understood that the kidney of a 64-year-old cousin living in France was suitable for transplantation. After the necessary surgical preparations were made, the kidney of the patient, who was a donor, was removed by full laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Thus, for the first time in the Eastern Black Sea Region, kidney was removed with a full laparoscopic donor nephrectomy operation by Assistant Prof. İlke Onur Kazaz and Assistant Prof. Fatih Çolak. (This operation, which means removing the kidney from a small incision with closed surgery method, was previously performed manually). The kidney taken, was successfully transplanted to our patient with a team consisting of Assistant Prof. Arif Burak ÇEKİÇ, İlke Onur KAZAZ and Fatih ÇOLAK leaded by Prof. Dr. Serdar TÜRKYILMAZ. The patient who donated his organ is at the stage of discharge and the recipient is getting better day by day and it is planned to be discharged soon.
