Öğe Combination of rhomboid flap and double Z-plasty technique for reconstruction of palmar and dorsal web space burn contractures(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2015) Sari, Elif; Tellioglu, Ali Teoman; Altuntas, Nurgul; Seven, Ergin; Ozakpinar, Hulda RifatBackground: Web space contractures after a burn can cause severe impairments in hand function along with esthetic deformities. In this study we present our experience with the combined treatment technique consisted of rhomboid flap and double Z-plasty for palmar and dorsal web space contractures. Materials and methods: Combined rhomboid flap and double Z-plasty was performed in eight patients with eleven web space contractures occurred after burn. The average follow-up was 10.9 months. Results: The average age of 8 patients was 16.3 years. The average duration of burn contractures was 6 years (range 1-13 years). The right third web of the patients was the most common contracted web space. In the postoperative period hematoma, infection, partial or total flap loss was not observed in any patient. Web and hand function and esthetic appearance of web spaces were satisfactory in the late postoperative period. Conclusion: Rhomboid flap combined with a double Z-plasty technique was an effective choice for the treatment of palmar and dorsal web space contracture after burn. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI.

Subciliary skin flap technique (SF group) was performed to 39 patients, while the others were operated by using skin-muscle (stepped) flap technique (SMF group). Fitzpatrick skin types, genders, ages, scar scores, and ectropion scores of the patients also were recorded.Results:The mean age of the patients was 39.3 (18-99) years, and the mean follow-up period was 2.1 (1-6) years. Fitzpatrick skin-type levels were between 2 and 4 (median=3). No difference was found between 2 groups in terms of age, follow-up period, and Fitzpatrick skin-type levels. However, the scar values of the SMF group were significantly lower than the SF group statistically. Also, there was no significant difference between males and females in SF and SMF groups in terms of scar and ectropion formation. On the other hand, scar values were lower in SMF groups rather than SF group in males. Although ectropion values were not different between SF and SMF groups in females, ectropion values of SMF group were significantly lower than SF group in males statistically.Conclusion:Subciliary skin-muscle (stepped) flap technique can be more reliable than subciliary skin flap technique for approach to orbitozygomatic fractures.Öğe Interrupted or continuous-intradermal suturing? Statistical analysis of postoperative scars(Deri Zuhrevi Hastaliklar Dernegi, 2014) San, Elif; Ozakpinar, Hulda Rifat; Tellioglu, Ali TeomanBackground and Design: Postoperative scar development is an important problem for patients treated in plastic surgery clinics. Most patients think that continuous intradermal suturing is superior to interrupted suturing because they assume that it creates less scarring. We evaluated scars that form following intradermal and interrupted suturing. This article presents our controlled study that objectively compared the scars on patients faces using a wound evaluation scale. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five patients, who had undergone operations on the bilateral cheeks, were included in this study. Thirty patients were female; five patients were male. Their mean age was 40.05 years. The average scar evaluation time after surgery was 9.05 months. Elliptical excisions were made on the lesions under local anesthesia. The incisions on the right cheeks were sutured with 6/0 monofilament nonabsorbable sutures using the continuous intradermal suturing technique. The left cheek incisions were sutured with same sutures using the interrupted suturing method. Results: The patients were evaluated 7-11 months after operation (mean: 9.05 months) using the Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale. A Related Samples T-test was used for statistical evaluation of the differences between the suturing techniques. No significant differences were noted in scar formation between the two suturing methods (p>0.05). Conclusion: We found no differences in scar formation between the two frequently used suturing techniques studied here. We believe that the suturing technique is a less important determinant of scar formation than are other factors.Öğe Intranasal Extramucosal Access: A New Access for Lateral Osteotomy in Open Rhinoplasty(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016) Tellioglu, Ali Teoman; Sari, Elif; Ozakpinar, Hulda Rifat; Eryilmaz, Tolga; Inozu, Emre; Sen, Tulin; Tekdemir, IbrahimBackground and Objective: Different accesses have been used to perform lateral osteotomies in rhinoplasty. All of them have some disadvantages. The aim of this paper was to report a new access to overcome drawbacks of the other techniques in lateral osteotomy during open rhinoplasty. Methods: An anatomical study was designed to search possibility of intranasal extramucosal access (open sky access) for the lateral osteotomy in open rhinoplasty. It was performed directly on the lateral wall of piriform aperture, and then possible advantages of this technique were investigated. Five fixed cadavers were used for this purpose. No drawbacks were observed during procedure in cadavers. Then the same procedure was performed in 23 consecutive rhinoplasty patients. Nineteen operations were primary and 4 operations were secondary. Median oblique osteotomies were added to the procedure in all patients. The mean follow-up was 17 months. Results: Intranasal extramucosal access during lateral osteotomy was easily performed in all patients. Hemorrhage due to angular vessel injury was not occurred during intraoperative period. Edema and ecchymosis was minimal. Intranasal examination did not show any sign for nasal mucosal tearing in all patients. Residual bone spurs or bone irregularities were not observed in any patients. Conclusion: Intranasal extramucosal access that produces precise, predictable, and reproducible aesthetic and functional results could also provide better exposure during lateral osteotomy. Additionally, open sky access minimizes scars because it does not need additional incisions on the skin and mucosa. Protection of the internal periosteum of the nasal bones may be the main advantages of this technique.Öğe New autologous material for the frontalis suspension technique: superficial temporal fascia(Ijo Press, 2016) Sari, Elif; Ozakpinar, Hulda Rifat; Tellioglu, Ali Teoman…Öğe A rare type of burn injury due to butane gas inhalation(Turkish Assoc Trauma Emergency Surgery, 2017) Seven, Ergin; Horoz, Ugur; Sari, Elif; Ozakpinar, Hulda Rifat; Sandikci, Mert Muhittin; Inozu, Emre; Tellioglu, Ali TeomanBACKGROUND: Abusive inhalation of butane gas is becoming a serious public health problem among teenagers and young adult population; however, there has been little reporting on explosion burns associated with abuse of butane cigarette lighter fluid. METHODS: Retrospective study was conducted of 22 patients who were burned in last 2 years in explosion of butane gas, a flammable, odorless, and colorless aliphatic hydrocarbon. RESULTS: Details of sociodemographic profile of the patients, any underlying psychiatric illness, alcohol abuse, depth of burn injury, any associated injury, duration of hospitalization, and percentage of burned area were recorded and analyzed. CONCLUSION: All of the patients were young men, and most had superficial burn injury. Hospital stay ranged from 0 to 11 days. All of the patients were treated with conservative management.Öğe Repair of Full-Thickness Nasal Alar Defects Using Nasolabial Perforator Flaps(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015) Durgun, Mustafa; Ozakpinar, Hulda Rifat; Selcuk, Caferi Tayyar; Sari, Elif; Seven, Ergin; Inozu, EmreBackground The repair of full-thickness nasal alar defects presents difficulties because of their complex 3-dimensional structure. Reconstructions using inappropriate methods may lead to asymmetries and dissatisfying functional results. In this study, our aim was to present the repairs of full-thickness alar defects performed using cartilage-supported nasolabial perforator flaps. Materials and Methods Eight patients who presented to our clinic between January 2011 and April 2014 with full-thickness defects in the alar wings were included in this study. The nasolabial perforator flap was prepared on the basis of the closest perforator to the defect area and in a way to include 2 to 3 mm of subcutaneous adipose tissue. The medial section of the flap was adapted to form the nasal lining. In the 7 patients in whom cartilage support was used, the cartilage graft was obtained from the septum nasi. After the cartilage was placed on the flap, the lateral section of the flap was folded over the medial section and the defect was repaired. In 1 patient in whom cartilage support was not required, the flap was folded over itself before the repair was performed. The flap donor area was primarily repaired. Results No detachment around the suture lines, infection, venous insufficiency in the flap, or partial or total flap losses were observed in any of the patients. Retraction developed in 1 patient in whom no cartilage support was used. No retraction was observed in any of the patients in whom cartilage support was used. The results were functionally and esthetically satisfying in all the patients. Conclusions The greatest advantage of perforator-based nasolabial flaps is the greater mobilization achieved in comparison with the other nasolabial flaps. Thus, full-thickness defects can be repaired in 1 session in some patients, no revision is required around the flap pedicle, and much less donor area morbidity occurs. Nasal alar reconstructions performed using this type of flap lead to both esthetically and functionally satisfying results.Öğe The Versatile Facial Artery Perforator-Based Nasolabial Flap in Midface Reconstruction(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015) Durgun, Mustafa; Ozakpinar, Hulda Rifat; Sari, Elif; Selcuk, Caferi Tayyar; Seven, Ergin; Tellioglu, Ali TeomanIntroduction: Defects in the lower two thirds of the face occur due to trauma, tumoral masses, or infections. In this study, repairs of various defects located in the midface using facial artery perforator-based nasolabial flaps are presented. Patients and Methods: Between January 2009 and June 2013, 15 patients with defects in the lower two thirds of the face or the intraoral region underwent repairs with facial artery perforator-based nasolabial flaps. The etiology was malignant skin tumor excisions in 11 patients, infection in 2 patients, and trauma in 2 patients. Among the patients, 10 were male and 5 were female. Their mean age was 65.1 (range: 20-86) years. The mean duration of follow-up was 14 (7-24) months. The defects were located at the upper lip, cheek, lower lip, intraoral region, and the nasal area. The size of the defects varied between 10 x 10mm and 40 x 50 mm. All the flaps were prepared as perforator flaps. The flap donor area was primarily closed. Results: No partial or total flap loss was observed in any of the flaps. The flap donor areas healed without problem. Full patient satisfaction was achieved both aesthetically and functionally. Conclusion: The nasolabial perforator flap has certain advantages such as the 1-stage application, repair using a similar tissue, a wider rotation arc around the pedicle compared to the other regional flaps, and the primary closure of the donor area. Based on these characteristics, itis an ideal alternative for the repairs of the defects located in the lower two thirds of the face or the intraoral region.
