Dorsal Preservation Surgery: A Novel Modification for Dorsal Shaping and Hump Reduction.

Background: A new technique for dorsal preservation rhinoplasty that minimizes recurrent hump deformity is introduced.

Objectives: The authors sought to present a novel dorsal roof flap (DRF) technique for modifying the nasal hump and dorsum while reducing morbidity.

Methods: Twenty-two primary and 3 secondary rhinoplasty patients had 1 of 2 types of nasal DRF depending on hump composition.

Reducing Dorsal Hump Recurrence Following Push Down-Let Down Rhinoplasty.

Background: Hump recurrence is a commonly encountered problem following dorsal preservation (DP) rhinoplasty when surgeons are learning the procedure.

Objectives: The aim of this paper was to compare the different methods for the prevention and treatment of dorsal problems following DP surgery.

Methods: One hundred and fifty primary rhinoplasty patients were included in our study.

An Extremely Rare Condition: Unilateral and Isolated Temporalis Muscle Hypertrophy.

Unilateral and isolated temporalis muscle hypertrophy is an extremely rare condition causing cosmetic problems and pain in the temporal region. Up to date, 8 isolated and unilateral cases were reported in the English literature. In this article, the authors report 2 new cases of unilateral isolated temporal muscle hypertrophy.

Electrical burns: Highlights from a 5-year retrospective analysis.

Background: Electrical burns are the third most common cause of burn injuries, after scald and flame burns. In spite of decreasing mortality rates as advancements are made in treatment modalities and medical equipment, significant complications and socioeconomic consequences still accompany electrical burns. Analyzed in the present study were data from patients hospitalized for electrical burns between 2008 and 2012 in the Samsun Training and Research Hospital, the only burn care center in the Black Sea region of Turkey.

A Rare Cutaneous Adnexal Tumor: Malignant Proliferating Trichilemmal Tumor.

Proliferating trichilemmal tumors (PTTs) are neoplasms derived from the outer root sheath of the hair follicle. These tumors, which commonly affect the scalp of elderly women, rarely demonstrate malignant transformation. Although invasion of the tumors into neighboring tissues and being accompanied with anaplasia and necrosis are accepted as findings of malignancy, histological features may not always be sufficient to identify these tumors.

Simultaneous cheek and lower eyelid reconstruction with combinations of local flaps.

Cheek defects are common facial defects, especially after tumor ablation. Although primary repair yields the best aesthetic outcome, wide defects require flap resurfacing. Among the flap techniques, the cervicofacial rotation/advancement flap is one of the most common.
