AAbstract
Objective:
As a general surgeon who was assigned for a
temporary period of time, we aimed to carry out the scientific analysis of the
patients who were admitted and underwent surgery and received medical
observation service during our one-month temporary service in the General
Surgery Clinic of Hakkari State
Hospital.
Materials
and methods: General surgery admissions evaluated by
the emergency department and general surgery clinic in Hakkari State Hospital between 31 December 2017 - 31
January 2018 were retrospectively evaluated.
Results:
Of the
521 patients admitted to the general
surgery outpatient clinic directly as an outpatient or through the consultation
request by the emergency department, 63.15% were the patients requiring
emergency surgery and 44.73% were
diagnosed with surgical acute abdomen. Two patients (5.26%) with an indication
for surgery did not accept surgical treatment. On a patient presented with
firearm injury, damage control surgery was performed for liver and colon
injury. One patient who had intra-vehicle traffic accident was monitored in our
hospital until transferred to an advanced center for observation and medical
treatment due to grade I hepatic injury.
Conclusion:
We are of the opinion that the presented data
analysis of the simultaneous provision of surgical services to both
catastrophic firearm injury cases and elective - emergency surgery cases for
citizens during this mission, which involved the organization of advanced end
surgical hospital, as well as the hospital providing healthcare services, will
be a sample pilot study and will shed light in terms of the problems that
inexperienced personnel to be assigned for such a mission may face with before
the assignment and in terms of the case profile and being prepared for these.
