Item A Practical Cleft Palate Training Model(2020) Ozkan, Burak; Cologlu, Harun; Uysal, Cagri A.; Ertas, Nilgun M.; 0000-0003-3093-8369; 0000-0001-6236-0050; 32309100; AAI-5063-2020; AAJ-2949-2021Educational models are essential for training surgeons and making them familiar with experience- and skill-dependent operations such as cleft palate closure. The development of computer and 3D printer technology has allowed cleft lip and palate models to be produced and used for surgical training. However, these technology-dependent models are not affordable and reproducible for surgeons in developing countries where cleft cases are more commonly seen. Thus, we aimed to create a cleft palate educational model prepared with play-dough and latex. The play-dough is shaped in the form of a palate and the cleft is created by scissors. Then, a latex glove is cut and applied to the dough to mimic the mucosal layer. The combination of the latex glove and play-dough lets the trainee perform surgical markings, incisions, elevation of the flaps, and layer closure. We think this easily producible model might be beneficial for demonstrating cleft types, surgical techniques, and improving surgical skills, especially in developing countries.Item 35-year Onset of a Squamous Cell Carcinoma Originating from Sacral Pilonidal Sinus(2019) Ozkan, Burak; Cologlu, Harun; Uysal, Cagrı A.; Ertas, Nilgun M.; 32537300Item A misleading cutaneous lesion for the surgeon: pyoderma gangrenosum(2018) Solmaz, Gullu Korkmaz; Cologlu, Harun; Durdu, Murat; Ertas, Nilgun; 0000-0003-1247-3932; H-9068-2019; AAO-4286-2020Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory skin disorder characterized by cutaneous papulo-pustules that evolve rapidly into large, painful, necrotic ulcers. These lesions are often initially diagnosed as wound infection and necrotizing fasciitis. Debridement, although the standard of care for wound infections, is paradoxically detrimental in pyoderma gangrenosum because of pathergy. Early diagnosis and treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum is very important because unnecessary debridement and associated morbidity can be prevented. Herein, we report a case with pyoderma gangrenosum mimicking necrotizing fasciitis.Item Stewart-Treves Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of Literature(2018) Albayati, Abbas; Eyupoglu, Atilla Adnan; Cologlu, Harun; Bal, Nebil; Ertas, Nilgun Markal; 0000-0002-8605-9032; AAO-4286-2020Stewart-Treves syndrome (STS) is defined as angiosarcoma arising in the setting of chronic lymphedema. It is typically presented in breast cancer patients who underwent axillary dissection. A 79-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a wound that developed secondary to lymphedema. Pathologic examinations diagnosed the lesion as angiosarcoma. STS is a rare and deadly entity. It is hard to diagnose and has 10% mean survival rate for 5 years. We emphasize the importance of early diagnosis that can be a lifesaver.
