    A Case of Falling Into an Acid Tank From Height After High-Voltage Electrocution
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2024-12) Burak Özkan; Abdullah Kızmaz; Uğur Bak; Khalid Zeynalov; Süleyman Savran; Abbas Albayati; Çağrİ A. Uysal; Mehmet Haberal
    In this case report, we present the management of a dramatic and rare combination of injuries: high-voltage electrical injury, chemical burn, and open tibial and calcaneal fractures resulting from a fall from height. The patient underwent early fasciotomies. After treatments administered by a multidisciplinary team consisting of plastic surgeons, general surgeons, orthopedic specialists, anesthesiologists, and physiotherapists, the patient was discharged without extremity loss after a 135-day hospital stay. This case report discusses the importance of early fasciotomy and debridement in management of extensive burns and fall-related injuries, the potential for extended hospitalization for reconstruction, and the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach.

    Utilization of Novel Keystone Flap Modification on Various Anatomic Sites
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2024-09) Burak İzkan; Mehmet Haberal; Çağrİ A. Uysal; Abbas Albayati; Ömer Uzun; Uğur Bak; Orkhan Shahbazov; Abdullah Kızmaz; Süleyman Savran
    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.

    Pedicled Anterolateral Thigh Flap Reconstruction for Defects Between Umbilicus and Knee
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2024-06) Burak Özkan; Abdullah Kızmaz; Khalid Zeynalov; Süleyman Savran; Abbas Albayati; Çağrı A. Uysal; Mehmet Haberal
    ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the efficacy and outcomes of pedicled anterolateral thigh flap reconstruction in addressing soft tissue defects between the umbilicus and the knee. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 12 patients (8 males, 4 females; mean age of 56 years; range, 15-74 years) who underwent pedicled anterolateral thigh flap reconstruction between 2019 and 2022. Defect locations included the inguinal region, trochanteric region, medial thigh, posterior thigh, lateral knee, and umbilical region. RESULTS: The average operative time was 2.7 hours (range, 2-4 hours). All donor sites were closed primarily, with no major complications. Mean hospital stay was 7 days (range, 4-18 days). CONCLUSIONS: The pedicled anterolateral thigh flap is a versatile and reliable solution for defects in the lower abdomen and lower extremities, offering excellent outcomes with minimal donor site morbidity.
