    ABSTRACT We describe our proposed modification of the keystone flap, which adds a V-Y advancement in 3 directions, further optimizing the redistribution of tension forces. This new approach not only improves the overall stability of the flap but also reduces the risk of wound dehiscence and enhances the potential for better healing outcomes. We describe its use in 15 patients treated at our center (mean age of 58 years [range, 18-77 y]) with mean follow-up time of 14 months (range, 6-24 mo). All flaps survived, and no early or late complications were encountered. The keystone flap’s flexibility, combined with its multiple modifications, continues to expand its applicability across diverse anatomical locations, making it a vital tool in reconstructive surgery for complex defects.

    Preservation of the Extremity Length With Free Microvascular Tissue Transfers
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2023-03) Burak Özkan; Orkhan Shahbazov; A. Çağrı Uysal; Cem Aydoğan; Mehmet Haberal
    ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Patients who had unhealed amputations stumps have generally poor vascular condition due to vasculopathies or crush injuries. Tendons and bones are superficial and covered with a thin skin and amputation stump should be revised of changed to a more proximal level MATERIALS AND METHODS: 10 patients were reviewed retrospectively between 2020-2023. Patients were evaluated according to demographics, etiology of the amputations, location of the defects, flap type, recipient vessels, anastomosis fashion, early and late complication rates and hospitalization length . RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 58 years. Nine of 10 extremity length were successfully preserved with free flap transfers. One patient was referred to orthopedic department for higher amputation level. CONCLUSIONS: Free microvascular tissue transfers are important reconstructive options for extremity salvage.

    The Use of Growth Factors in Wound Healing: An Update
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2023-03) A. Cagri Uysal; Burak Ozkan; Orkhan Shahbazov; Ebru Sakallioglu Abali; Mehmet Haberal
    ABSTRACT Wound healing is a complex and well-integrated process. Growth factors have an important role in modulation of wound healing steps. Because of their important role in wound healing, growth factors have been used as triggering agents in chronic wounds. In this article, we provide an up-to-date review of growth factors found to be effective in chronic ulcers and are commercially available on the market for treatment of chronic ulcers.
