    Bilateral Propeller Flap Closure of Large Meningomyelocele Defects
    (2014) Cologlu, Harun; Ozkan, Burak; Uysal, Ahmet Cagri; Cologlu, Ozlem; Borman, Huseyin; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8605-9032; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3093-8369; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6236-0050; 24918736; AAO-4286-2020; AAI-5063-2020; AAJ-2949-2021
    Background: Meningomyelocele is a defect of the spinal cord, vertebral spine, and overlying skin and is the most common form of spinal dysraphism. Multiple methods of soft tissue closure for larger myelomeningocele defects have been described, including skin grafting, random fasciocutaneous flaps, skin undermining with relaxing incisions, and musculocutaneous flaps. Most current methods for closure of defects of 8 cm and greater and kyphotic spines usually remains inadequate. In this study, we present our clinical experience with a new surgical procedure, bilateral propeller (BP) flaps based on dorsal intercostal and lumbar artery perforator, for the closure of large thoracolumbar meningomyelocele defects. Patients and Method: Between January 2011 and April 2012, 7 newborns (5 males and 2 females) with thoracolumbar large meningomyelocele were included in the study. Six patients had lumbar kyphosis. Myelomeningocele defects with a mean size of 89.3 cm(2) (range, 58.9-136.8) were closed with BP flaps. Results: All flaps survived; hematoma, seroma, wound dehiscence, flap necrosis, or infection was not observed. No patients required any surgical revisions. The patients had a follow-up of 4 to 16 months with a mean of 10 months, and no long-term complications, including necrosis of flap edges, wound breakdown, or instability, have been apparent in our series. Conclusions: We believe that the BP flaps represent a useful tool in the management of soft tissue defects associated with especially kyphotic large thoracolumbar and lumbosacral myelomeningoceles.

    Asymmetric Z-plasty for Telephone Deformity in Prominent Ear Correction
    (2014) Uysal, Afsin; Uysal, Cagri A.; Cologlu, Harun; Borman, Huseyin; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6236-0050; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8605-9032; 25098579; AAJ-2949-2021
    There have been plenty of surgical techniques for the correction of prominent ears. "Telephone deformity" or "reverse telephone ear" has been described as the undesired result of the inappropriate correction of the prominent ear, mainly the deficient correction of the lobule. We have performed an asymmetric Z-plasty to the lobule to overcome this deformity not only by excision of the excess skin but also by transposition of the soft tissue. Between 2005 and 2011, the technique currently described was performed in 19 patients. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative standardized photographs were taken, and measurements were done on postoperative first week, first month, and first year. The measurements include ear height at 3 different horizontal planes as follows: (1) the most cranial point of the ear, (2) the middle point of the ear, and (3) the most caudal point of the ear. The angle between the vertical plane of the head and the ear was measured at these previously defined 3 points. These measurements were used for indication and preoperative planning. There were statistically significant differences between preoperative and postoperative values (P < 0.05). The postoperative first year results indicated the effectiveness of this alternative technique for the long-term maintenance of the position of the lobule.

    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-2949-2021
    Educational 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.

    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-4286-2020
    Pyoderma 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.

    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-4286-2020
    Stewart-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.
