“…Al-Zahr aw i was the first person to describe the use of catgut for suturing. 1 The first paediatric surgical atlas, Cerrahiye-tu l-Hanniyye, was written by the Turkish surgeon Serafeddin Sabuncuoglu (1385-1468) when he was 80 years old.

“…The concept of day surgery has developed almost at the same time as the establishment of surgical facilities such as dispensaries or out-patient clinics since the early 1900's (1). Circumcisions, abscess drainages, excisions of glands along with amputations, hernias, and cleft palates were being carried out on an out-patient basis at that time.…”

ABS TRACTÖz Aim: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) as day surgery is widely performed on adults; however, experience in pediatric LC in an out-patient setting is limited. We aimed to review our experience and investigate related factors. Materials and Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent elective LC from June 2005 to July 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were grouped according to the duration of hospital stay, and patient characteristics and outcome were compared. T-test and chi-square were used for statistical analysis. Results: A hundred and sixty-seven patients with a mean age of 10.4 years were enrolled. There was no conversion to open surgery, with only one postoperative complication in a patient with consumption coagulopathy. Same-day discharge (SDD), overnight stay (ONS) and prolonged stay (PS) groups were constituted of 50, 92, 25 patients respectively. All groups had similar preoperative characteristics and median postoperative pain scores. Previous history of cholecystitis and underlying hematological diseases were more common in the PS group (p<0.05). Duration of anesthesia was shortest in SDD, longest in PS groups (p<0.006). Perioperative minor complications were more common in the PS group than the SDD group (p=0.03). Mean time for oral feeding was 3.2, 5.4 and 14.8 hours for SDD, ONS and PS groups respectively (p<0.009). There was no readmission. Conclusion: LC may safely be performed as day surgery in children without comorbidities. Shorter duration of anesthesia and early oral feeding seem to play a key role in SDD in these cases.

“…There are several authors who have previously considered the features of the professor's scientific activities, including abroad, with various physicians of those times. They described some of the surgeon's scientific trips to European cities, where he exchanged experiences with other scientists [1]. J. Gaujēns [2] described all the details and features of interaction and collaboration with the professor.…”
