Long-term results of migraine surgery and the relationship between anatomical variations and pain.

Background: Migraine headache surgery has been recently reported and supported by studies as management to provide long-term relief in migraine sufferers. This study aimed to monitor the long-term results of patients who underwent migraine surgery in our clinic and determine the relationship between pain and anatomical anomalies.

Methods: A prospective review was conducted of 93 patients who underwent surgery for migraine headaches performed between 2017 and 2021 by the senior author (M.

Lateral Osteotomy Fixation Technique in Rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty is the most challenging facial aesthetic surgical procedure according to many plastic surgeons. Nasal bone osteotomies, especially lateral osteotomies, have a complicated history. If lateral osteotomy is not stable after osteotomy during intraoperative period, stabilization is attempted with internal and external nasal splints but it is not possible to be confident about the stabilization since it is not fully fixed and cannot be observed directly.

The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on the Zone of Stasis and Apoptosis in an Experimental Burn Model.

Background: The zone of stasis that forms in acute burn is initially viable, but coagulation progresses to necrosis in the process that follows.

Objective: This study investigates the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on apoptosis in the burn zone of stasis and on the viability of living tissue.

Methods: Burns were established in the right ears of 20 female New Zealand rabbits using the "comb burn" model.

Evaluation of the Extent of Vessel Avulsion Injury: An Experimental Study Using a Rabbit Model.

Background:  Determining the extent of damage in vascular avulsion type injuries still represents a challenge for the microsurgeon. Excision of the damaged section is critical for the success of anastomosis. The purpose of this study was to determine which among vascular endothelial and adventitia damage findings is most effective in determining the extent of avulsion injury.

The effect of low molecular weight heparin on salvaging the zone of stasis in an experimental burn model.

Background/aim: Multiple zones of injuries are formed after burns, consisting of a zone of coagulative necrosis, a zone of hyperemia, and a zone of stasis, in which progressive microcirculatory thrombosis leads to degeneration and deepening of the wound. We used an experimental rat comb burn model to test the hypothesis that use of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) may save the zone of stasis. Materials and methods: Adult female rats were randomly divided two groups: the LMWH group (n = 8) rats received subcutaneous LMWH injections, while the saline group (n = 8) rats were injected with the same volume of saline solution by the same route.

Percutaneous Screws and External Fixation in Frontal Sinus Anterior Wall Fractures.

Fractures of the frontal sinus are frequently encountered injuries of maxillofacial fractures. The most common causes are traffic accidents, followed by sports-related injuries. There is still no consensus regarding the optimal management of frontal sinus fractures.

Microsurgical Replantation of Two Consecutive Traumatic Total Scalp Avulsions.

Total scalp avulsion is a rare but severe injury frequently ending in hair loss, and one that can even be life-threatening. It frequently occurs in women and in men with long hair and as a result of injuries by industrial or agricultural equipment or of animal attacks. The first option in treatment is replantation of hairy skin with microsurgery.

Congenital nail abnormalities: a review of the literature.

Congenital nail abnormalities (CNAs) are rare conditions in which the nail tissue appears abnormal compared with the fingers and the toes. They usually present accompanying deformities and disorders. Our purpose was to review the current literature on the clinical aspects of CNA.

Effects of perioperative remifentanil with controlled hypotension on intraoperative bleeding and postoperative edema and ecchymosis in open rhinoplasty.

Background: This randomized, double-blind study was designed to assess the effect of perioperative remifentanil with controlled hypotension on intraoperative bleeding, postoperative edema, and ecchymosis.

Methods: Fifty-two patients undergoing rhinoplasty were divided into 2 groups. The remifentanil group received 1 µg · kg(-1) intravenously as a bolus before induction of anesthesia, 0.

An evaluation of five different dressing materials on split-thickness skin graft donor site and full-thickness cutaneous wounds: an experimental study.

The objective of this study was to investigate the healing effect of five different products on split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites and full-thickness cutaneous wounds (FTCWs) using an occlusive dressing model. Six groups were included: 1 control and 5 experimental groups, with a total of 24 rats, using an occlusive dressing model. STSG donor sites and FTCWs were established in two separate areas, to the right and left on the animals' backs.

Effects of lidocaine plus epinephrine and prilocaine on autologous fat graft survival.

Although fat grafting is frequently used in plastic surgery practice, debate about the viability of the graft still persists owing to its questionable long-term success. The ultimate aim is to obtain long-term graft viability. Vascularization of the graft is essential for this purpose.

Giant cementoblastoma of the impacted mandibular incisor.

The cementoblastoma is a relatively rare type of all odontogenic tumors. The incisor and impacted or unerupted tooth involvement by a cementoblastoma is extremely rare. We present a case report of a giant cementoblastoma that involved an impacted mandibular incisor.

Necrosis of the donor site after hair restoration with follicular unit extraction (FUE): a case report.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) has been developed as one type of follicular unit transplantation surgery, a widely accepted hair-restoration technique. FUE has many advantages, including a small donor area scar, less pain and a slender graft without extra surrounding tissue. Complications are uncommon in the literature.

An objective evaluation of an injured vessel wall using fluorescein sodium before microvascular anastomosis in an experimental rat model.

The aim of this study was to establish an objective evaluation method for intraoperative detection of damaged vascular endothelium in avulsion injuries. Twenty male Fischer rats were randomly assigned to control or experimental groups ( N = 10, each). Crush-avulsion injury was performed on right femoral arteries.

Rare occupational disease of hair dressers: interdigital pilonidal sinus.

Interdigital pilonidal sinus is a rare occupational disease related to work with short hair. Hair dresser's disease is the interdigital pilonidal sinus encountered in male barbers. A case of pilonidal sinus in the interdigital web is reported.

A new approach to alar rim defects: mucocartilaginous turnover flap.

The main principle of reconstructive surgery is replacement of the defective tissues with like tissues. A full-thickness defect of the nasal ala should be reconstructed in three layers: innermost mucosal layer, outermost skin, and the cartilage in-between. The aim of this study is to describe a technique for single-stage, three-layer reconstruction of the full-thickness ala nasi defects.

Flexor pollicis brevis adductorplasty: an alternative method in ulnar nerve paralysis.

Loss of pinch power associated with loss of coordinated movement of thumb and index fingers is the major disability in patients with ulnar nerve paralysis. Several tendon transfer methods utilizing different donor muscles have been used to restore adductor pollicis muscle function in ulnar nerve paralysis. In this paper, we discuss the transfer of flexor digitorum brevis muscle to the tendon of adductor pollicis muscle as an alternative method to restore key pinch in ulnar nerve paralysis.

Transfer of innervated split latissimus dorsi free musculocutaneous flap for flexion and extension of the fingers.

A severe form of Volkmann contracture is associated with loss of flexor and extensor compartment muscles. An 11-year-old boy with Volkmann contracture was admitted to our clinics with flexion contracture of the wrist joint and total loss of flexor and extensor muscle functions. Split latissimus dorsi free flap was used for reconstruction.
