    Tracheal Length in Adult Human: The Results of 100 Autopsies
    (SOC CHILENA ANATOMIA, 2016-01-01) Cinar, Ugur; Halezeroglu, Semih; Okur, Erdal; Inanici, Mehmet Akif; Kayaoglu, Semra
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the average tracheal length and number of the tracheal cartilages in Turkish people, with emphasis on the relationships to body height and sex. A hundred fresh human cadaver tracheas were harvested from 75 males and 25 females. Age, sex and body height of cadavers were recorded. All the neck and intrathoracic structures were removed. The tracheal length was measured between the subcricoid level to the carina in resting and maximally stretched positions. Average tracheal length and number of the tracheal cartilages were compared in different body height groups in both sexes. We found that average body height was 160 +/- 6.4 cm and average tracheal length in resting position was 8.5 +/- 1 cm (range 6.5-11 cm) in females and average body height was 168.6 +/- 5.6 cm, average tracheal length was 8.7 +/- 1.1 cm (range 7-11.6 cm) in males, average number of tracheal cartilages was 13.6 +/- 1.7 (range 10-16) in females and 13.3 +/- 1.6 (range 10-19) in males and average number of the tracheal cartilages per centimeter was 1.6 +/- 0.2 in female and 1.5 +/- 0.2 in male cadavers in resting position. Average tracheal length in male group was found to be significantly different in cadavers with body height equal or taller than 170 cm in comparison to cadavers with body height shorter than 170 cm (p <0.05). This study revealed that the average tracheal length in Turkish people is shorter than the reported length in literature. It is worth commenting that there is a considerable difference between the different races with regard to tracheal length. Tracheal length may vary with body height.

    Spontaneous pneumomediastinum: report of two cases
    (TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2011-01-01) Tezel, Cagatay; Varer, Pinar; Baysungur, Volkan; Okur, Erdal; Halezeroglu, Semih
    Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is an uncommon, benign, self-limited disorder that usually occurs in young adult males without any apparent precipitating factor or disease. SPM responds extremely well to conservative treatment without recurrence in the great majority of cases. In this report, two patients who were admitted for SPM are discussed together with the associated literature.

    Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy in a patient with carcinoid tumor located at the orifice of the right lower lobe
    (AME PUBL CO, 2017-01-01) Halezeroglu, Semih
    We present here a 47-year old male patient who had a typical carcinoid tumor located at the orifice of right lower lobe bronchus underwent uniportal thoracoscopic lower lobectomy following bronchoscopic removal of the endobronchial tumor. Tumor was seen by bronchoscopy to protrude out from the lower lobe into the intermediary bronchus obstructing the lower lobe completely and the middle lob partially. However, the origin of the endobronchial tumor was in the distal part of the lower lobe bronchus. In this case, open surgery could be an alternative to save the middle lobe by incising the lower lobe bronchus to pull out the endobronchial tumor first during thoracotomy. The other alternative could be a thoracoscopic lower bilobectomy for achieving a curative resection. In this patient, we performed sequential approaches at the same session as
