Materials and Methods: A hospital review of patients hospitalized from 2017 to 2022 was made to identify patients whose clinical cultures grew Serratia spp. Inclusion criteria were age ≥18 years and isolation of one or more positive blood cultures for Serratia spp. Bacteremia was classified into two groups: Primary hospital-acquired bacteremia detected after 48 hours of hospitalization and bacteremia detected within the first 48 hours that was associated with previous healthcare facilities or applications. Results: During the study period, Serratia spp. were identified in blood cultures of 46 patients (52.7% males; mean age 60.7±17.6 years). Thirty-one patients (67.4%) had hospital-acquired bacteremia, while 15 patients had bacteremia acquired from previous healthcare facilities or applications. Thirty-five patients (76.1%) were infected by Serratia marcescens . All patients had predisposing risk factors for bacteremia, the most common being malignancies (n=19), followed by cardiac diseases (n=16), and diabetes mellitus (n=13). A history of antibiotic treatment in the past month was common (67.4%). Compared with patients who acquired bacteremia from previous healthcare facilities or applications, the rate of prior antibiotic use was significantly higher in patients with hospital-acquired bacteremia (p<0.01), so was the rate of appropriate empirical antibiotic use (p=0.01). Resistance to piperacillin/tazobactam was significantly more common among patients who acquired bacteremia from previous healthcare facilities or applications (p=0.02). Resistance to carbapenem in this group was also higher than expected (20%). During hospitalization, sepsis developed in 27 patients (58.7%). Within 30 days after laboratory detection of Serratia spp., mortality occurred in 16 patients (34.8%). Conclusion: The rate of healthcare-associated bacteremia is alarmingly high among hospitalized patients, which requires a meticulous inquiry into previous histories.","PeriodicalId":483347,"journal":{"name":"Hamidiye Medical Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Postoperative Outcomes of V-notes (Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) Sacrocolpopexy in Patients with Pelvic Organ Prolapse","authors":"Elif Cansu Gündoğdu, Elif Beyza Özer","doi":"10.4274/hamidiyemedj.galenos.2023.19484","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4274/hamidiyemedj.galenos.2023.19484","url":null,"abstract":"Background: This study introduces and evaluates a novel surgical approach for treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP) by combining vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES) with sacrocolpopexy. The aim was to provide maximal benefit to patients through this approach, eliminating the need for additional incisions and utilizing the anterior longitudinal ligament for suspension. Materials and Methods: The study enrolled 11 patients who underwent V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy after vaginal hysterectomy. The patients’ quality of life improved significantly after the procedure, as indicated by the pelvic floor impact questionnaire and pelvic floor distress inventory scores. The technique involved using helical titanium tacks to secure the mesh to the anterior longitudinal ligament, streamlining the procedure and standardizing mesh fixation. Results: The median age of patients was 64 years. The median operative time for V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy was 150 minutes. There were no perioperative complications, and postoperative pain scores were minimal. Patients expressed high satisfaction with cosmetic outcomes, and physical examination findings demonstrated significant improvement in POP. Conclusion: V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy is an effective and promising approach for managing POP prolapse after vaginal hysterectomy. The procedure demonstrated positive outcomes in terms of operative time, complications, pain scores, cosmetic results, and hospital stay. Moreover, it significantly improved patients’ quality of life, positively impacting daily activities and emotional well-being. As the incidence of POP is expected to rise with an aging population, V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy may offer a minimally invasive alternative for treating apical compartment prolapse.","PeriodicalId":483347,"journal":{"name":"Hamidiye Medical Journal","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
