Item Is Sickle Cell Trait Really Innocent?(2021) Yeral, Mahmut; Boga, Can; 0000-0002-9580-628X; 33053967Item The results of interventional catheterization in infants weighing under 2,000 g(2019) Varan, Birgul; Tokel, N. Kursad; Yakut, Kahraman; Erdogan, Ilkay; Ozkan, Murat; 32082877Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the early and mid-term results of interventional cardiac catheterization and procedure-related complications in infants weighing <2,000 g. Methods: Between May 1998 and April 2017, 22 patients (14 males, 8 females; mean age 14 +/- 8.4 days; range, 1 to 30 days) weighing < 2,000 g who underwent a total of 23 interventional cardiac catheterization were retrospectively analyzed. Procedures were balloon coarctation angioplasty in 14, balloon atrial septostomy in five, balloon aortic valvuloplasty in one, balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in one, patent ductus arteriosus closure in one, and stent placement in the ductus in one patient. Another patient underwent balloon coarctation angioplasty and balloon aortic valvuloplasty in the same session. Results: The overall success rate of the interventional procedures was 95.6%. The mean follow-up was 3.2 +/- 1.6 years (range, 1 to 5.5) for 18 patients with available records. The rate of serious complications was 18%. The most frequent complications in the early period were low hemoglobin levels requiring erythrocyte suspension transfusion (54.5%) and vascular injury (54.5%). Two patients required reintervention, one patient required surgery after the second intervention, and three patients required only surgery. Six patients underwent palliative interventional procedures, and interventional procedures led to definitive treatment in five patients. Conclusion: The mortality and morbidity rate of surgery is high in premature under 2,000 g infants and interventional heart catheterization can be life-saving in this patient group, although it is associated with significant complications in low birth weight newborns.Item Comparison of Three Surgical Techniques in Pilonidal Sinus Surgery(2018) Kartal, A.; Aydın, H.O.; Oduncu, M.; Ferhatoğlu, M.F.; Kıvılcım, T.; Filiz, A.İ.; 30779699Our study aims to compare the surgical outcome of Limberg transposition flap, Karydakis flap, and primary closure after excision to treat sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. A total of 634 patients with pilonidal sinus who underwent surgery were evaluated retrospectively from January 2014 to January 2016. The patients were divided into three groups. Limberg transposition flap (LTF) was performed in 131 patients (group 1), Karydakis flap (KF) was performed in 232 patients (group 2) and primary closure (PC) after excision was performed in 271 patients (group 3). Patient demographics, operative and postoperative outcomes were recorded and analyzed retrospectively. The mean age (p=0.98), sex ratio (p=0.74) and removed sinus volume (p=0.67) were not statistically different between groups. Mean operative time was 54.3 ± 6.4 min for group 1, 46.8 ± 10.5 min for group 2, and 26.9 ± 5.8 min for group 3 respectively (p=0.01). When the length of hospital stay was compared, there was a significant difference in favor of primary closure (p=0.01). Regarding early surgical complication, Karydakis flap technique was superior to other groups (p<0.001). The recurrent rate was higher in the primary closure group (p<0.001). In our study, the primary closure method regarding the duration of surgery and hospitalization; Karydakis method regarding postoperative complications (seroma, hematoma, wound dissociation, infection, recurrence) were superior to the other two methods.Item The Importance and Place of Adenotonsillectomy in Syndromic Children(2015) Aydin, Erdinc; Babakurban, Seda Turkoglu; 0000-0001-5067-4044; 0000-0001-6864-7378; 29392001; AAI-8856-2021; AAJ-2379-2021Objective: Upper airway obstruction and sleeping disorders are important issues in syndromic children, including mouth, lower-upper jaw, or all facial abnormalities. Tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy is required because of systemic problems and upper airway obstruction that increase the existing systemic problems, except those anomalies. However, tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy are mostly avoided because of the tendency to cause both intubation/perioperative systemic problems and respiratory complications in the postoperative period and in delays in the oral intake. However, these surgeries are sometimes required. In this context, we present our experience related with performing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy in syndromic children admitted to our hospital. Methods: We retrospectively examined the data on tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy performed in syndromic patients in our clinic between 2001 and 2011. Results: We did not observe any postoperative complications in adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy performed by the same surgeon in 14 syndromic cases. Conclusion: It should be noted that respiratory problems may arise from many different anatomical regions in syndromic patients. Therefore, surgery should be performed taking into consideration all of these factors in these patients. These patients must be hospitalized in the postoperative period.Item Submandibular Gland Surgery: Our Clinical Experience(2016) Erbek, Selim Sermend; Koycu, Alper; Topal, Ozgul; Erbek, Hatice Seyra; Ozluoglu, Levent Naci; 0000-0002-2150-0237; 0000-0001-6305-5023; 29392010; AAI-8020-2021; ABI-6777-2020Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the demographic findings and surgical results of patients who underwent submandibular gland excision at a tertiary care center. Methods: The clinical characteristics and histopathological results of 45 patients who had undergone submandibular gland excision between 1997 and 2014 were evaluated in detail. Results: Twenty-eight (62.2%) and 17 (37.8%) patients presented with a complaint of a painful mass and painless mass, respectively. Histopathologic investigation of the surgical specimen revealed sialolithiasis in 14 patients (31.1%), chronic sialadenitis in 16 (35.6%), benign tumor in 12 (26.7%), malignant tumor in two (4.4%), and mucocele extravasation in one. As complications, permanent paralysis of the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve was seen in one patient (2.2%), temporary paralysis of the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve was seen in seven (15.6%), orocutaneous fistula was seen in one (2.2%), and temporary paralysis of the hypoglossal nerve was seen in one (2.2%). Conclusion: This study revealed that in patients presenting with complaints of a submandibular gland mass, sialolithiasis, sialadenitis, and benign masses were the mostly diagnosed pathologies. Transcervical submandibular gland excision is a satisfactory procedure with low complication and recurrence rates when it is performed on selected patients and obeyed to surgical techniques.Item A rare complication of total knee arthroplasty: Type l complex regional pain syndrome of the foot and ankl(2016) Soylev, Gozde Ozcan; Boya, Hakan; 0000-0001-6110-4004; 0000-0001-8742-5543; 27726920; W-7391-2019; AAJ-4917-2021Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful and disabling disorder that usually affects the extremities. This complication may affect the knee joint after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We report a unique case of CRPS of the foot and ankle, which was an unusual involvement site for CRPS after TKA.

The procedure is associated with many intra-operative and postoperative complications, and the nature of the operation site hampers surgical interventions. Cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema is characterized by the presence of air within the fascial planes of the head-neck region because of various reasons. It may develop iatrogenically or spontaneously because of trauma. Herein, we report a 4-year-old male patient who presented to our clinic with complaints of frequent tonsillitis and snoring and who developed subcutaneous emphysema involving only the maxillofacial region following tonsillectomy. In addition, treatment strategies have been discussed, taking current literature into account.Item Complications of Formaldehyde Injection for a Cystic Mass of the Neck(2018) Caylakli, Fatma; Yilmaz, Ismail; Alkan, Ozlem; 30197813Formaldehyde is a colorless reactive chemical with suffocating and pungent odor. It is irritant to mucous membranes and can enter the body by either oral ingestion or inhalation. Formaldehyde is toxic to living tissue. In this report, we present the case of a 22-year-old woman who was treated with formaldehyde injection for a cystic mass of the neck with developing complications.
