    Novel Scalp Flap Elevation With Balloon Trocar Dissection Device
    (2023) Ozkan, Burak; Savran, Suleyman; Uysal, Cagri A.; 37470710
    Background:Balloon trocar devices have been utilized in several surgical cases to reach a difficult-to-access location, achieve hemostasis, and obtain safe, efficient surgery.Objective:Highlight the balloon trocar dissection device in a novel technique of scalp flap elevation for tissue expander placement.Methods:The pocket for the tissue expander was determined at the scalp. A 2 cm vertical incision was made. A 12 mm balloon trocar is then introduced and insufflated. Through the trocar, endoscopic light is then inserted. Scalp flap elevation was performed with the device. The exact location of the pocket was seen with the lumination of endoscopic light.Results:The balloon trocar dissection device provides easy scalp flap elevation and bleeding control. With the help of endoscopic light, the pocket for the expander was created precisely.Conclusion:The balloon trocar device is simple, effective, low-cost equipment for tissue expander placement in the scalp.

    Quality and Reliability of YouTube Videos for Hand Surgery Training
    (2023) Savran, Suleyman; Albayati, Abbas; Ozkan, Burak; Uysal, Cagri A.; 0000-0003-2806-3006; 0000-0003-3093-8369; AAC-3344-2021
    Background Hand injuries might present with exposed tendons, bones, and neurovascular structures, requiring flap reconstruction. Comprehending various flap options for hand injuries requires detailed knowledge, surgical skills, and considerable practice. Surgery residents commonly use web-based learning; one is YouTube for surgical education. We aim to evaluate the reliability and quality of the videos on YouTube for hand surgery training. Methods Video extraction from YouTube were done by keywords on 24 August 2021. JAMA scores and flap reconstruction of the hand-specific scoring system (FH-SS) were used to evaluate the selected videos. Results The mean JAMA score and FH-SS were 1.72 and 8.54, respectively. JAMA scores and FH-SS of the videos from Europe were significantly lower than from America and Asia (p = 0.0001 and p = 0.0063, respectively). The JAMA scores of physicians were significantly higher than that of medical sources (p < 0.0001). Conclusions The low JAMA score and the average FH-SS suggest that YouTube videos are unreliable and poorly qualified for hand surgery residents. The high JAMA score of the physician's videos emphasizes the reliability of YouTube videos depending on the sources. Surgery residents should be skeptical of the information of YouTube videos on surgical education. Level of Evidence: Not ratable

    A severe electrothermal ring burn case and a proposed treatment algorithm
    (2022) Ozkan, Burak; Albayati, Abbas; Savran, Suleyman; Uysal, Cagri Ahmet; 0000-0003-2806-3006; AAC-3344-2021
    Ring-associated burns are infrequent comprising only a tiny fraction of burn consults. Due to the circular nature of rings, these burns are often circumferential, with an increased risk for compartment syndrome and neurovascular injury. The severity of ring burn is related to the type of material and electrical current. Low-voltage injuries are generally due to contact with batteries and household devices, while high-voltage electric injuries occur with occupation-related accidents or natural disasters. Low-voltage ring burn can be managed conservatively with close follow-up. However, high-voltage ring burn might have dramatic consequences such as finger amputation. To date, there have been few cases reported in the literature of a ring burn. Most cases were superficial burns and managed with secondary healing or skin grafting. However, the literature has not reported the management of a severe ring burn with deteriorated finger circulation. In this case report, we present a circumferential electrothermal ring burn case with resulted in total loss of a finger. Furthermore, we propose an algorithmic approach to ring burn injuries.
