[Surgical treatment outcomes ın peripheral nerve lesions due to gunshot injuries: assessment of 28 cases].
In this retrospective study, we present the results and outcomes in our clinic of 28 patients over 8 years who received surgical treatment for peripheral nerve lesions due to gunshot injury. ⋯ We recommend surgical treatment within the first six months in neural lesions, depending on gunshot injury, on the condition that surgical technique rules are obeyed (except infection, skin defect, vascular injury, and the presence of bone fracture).

Effect of antibiotic lavage in adhesion prevention in bacterial peritonitis.
Intra-abdominal adhesions remain a major clinical problem. Previously, rifamycin lavage was used to prevent adhesion formation in the septic abdomen. The aim of our study was to test the effectiveness of intraperitoneal application of alternate antibiotics in an abdominal sepsis model. ⋯ According to these data, cephalosporins may be effective in preventing adhesion formation in septic abdomens. These antibiotics need to be evaluated in a clinical trial.

Mid-term results of calcaneal plating for displaced intraarticular calcaneus fractures.
The radiological and functional results of surgical treatment in intraarticular calcaneal fractures are presented in this study. ⋯ We conclude that open reduction and internal fixation methods yield a reasonable outcome, even in patients with Sanders type 4 intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus.
