Item Effect of Suture Type and Suture Distance on Holding Strength in Nasal Septal Laceration Model(2021) Koycu, Alper; Hizal, Evren; Erol, Ozan; Buyuklu, Adnan Fuat; 0000-0003-1290-3509; 0000-0002-9699-6783; 0000-0002-4209-9403; 33912854; AAF-3650-2021; A-5853-2018Objective: Septal mucosal-perichondrial flaps can be lacerated during the elevation of the flaps. Appropriate repair of the lacerations is essential to prevent the development of septal perforation during the healing process. We aimed to determine the superior suture type and suture distance to use in repairing the lacerations of nasal septal mucosal-perichondrial flaps. Methods: The study used 128 nasal septal mucosal-perichondrial flaps prepared from sheep heads. Experimentally induced lacerations on the mucosal-perichondrial flaps were sutured with two interrupted sutures using one of four suture materials (4-0/5-0 Polyglactin 910, 4-0/5-0 Polydioxanone) and leaving either 5 mm or 10 mm distance between the sutures. Maximum tissue holding strength (HSmax) was measured for each suture material and suture distance used. Results: Mean HSmax values were higher for Polyglactin 910 sutures (p<0.001) and 10 mm suture distance (p=0.008) when the groups were compared in terms of suture material and suture distance, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the mean HSmax values of sutures with 4-0 and 5-0 diameters (p=0.057). Conclusion: Polyglactin 910 suture material with 10 mm space between two adjacent sutures may be more durable than the other suture materials when repairing nasal septal mucosal lacerations.Item A Rare Cause of Hemifacial Spasm: Papillary Oncocytic Cystadenoma(2016) Erol, Ozan; Aydin, Erdinc; 0000-0001-6864-7378; 27761290; AAJ-2379-2021Background: Hemifacial spasm is a sudden, involuntary and synchronous spasm of the facial muscles. The most frequent cause of this condition is compression of the facial nerves due to vascular pathologies. The most commonly used method of treatment is Botulinum toxin injection. However, the gold standard treatment is surgical treatment. Case Report: A 64-year-old male patient with hemifacial spasms, which had occurred due to a rare parotid mass that had been surgically treated, is presented in this case. Conclusion: This case report demonstrates that long-standing parotid gland masses may compress the facial nerves and cause demyelination in the nerve and thus may cause spasms in the facial muscles.Item A Rare Tumor in the Cervical Sympathetic Trunk: Ganglioneuroblastoma(2016) Erol, Ozan; Koycu, Alper; Aydin, Erdinc; 0000-0003-1290-3509; 0000-0001-6864-7378; 0000-0002-4209-9403; 27965907; AAF-3650-2021; AAJ-2379-2021Ganglioneuroblastoma is a rare tumor with moderate malignancy, which is composed of mature ganglion cells and seen in sympathetic ganglia and adrenal medulla. The diagnosis is possible after cytological and immunohistochemical studies following a needle biopsy or surgical excision. There is no consensus regarding the need for chemo-or radiotherapy after surgery. In this case report, clinical behavior and diagnosis and treatment of the rare tumor cervical ganglioneuroblastoma were discussed.Item A Rare Complication of Tonsillectomy: Subcutaneous Emphysema(2016) Aydin, Erdinc; Erol, Ozan; 0000-0001-6864-7378; 29392042; AAJ-2379-2021Tonsillectomy is one of the surgical procedures that are frequently performed by ear, nose, and throat surgeons. 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.
