Comparison of the Effect of Spreader and T-Splay Graft in Internal Nasal Valve Management.

Background: The midvalve area is one of the most important anatomical points in rhinoplasty procedures. An additional intervention may be required to ensure there is no narrowing in this region. For this reason, several different techniques are used.

Evaluation of skin test indications for general anesthetics in real life: a prospective cohort study.

Background: In daily practice, atopic patients and those who have other drug allergies are referred to allergy clinics for evaluation of possible general anesthetic allergy despite the fact that it is not recommended in recent guidelines.

Objective: The aim of this prospective study is to determine the negative predictive value of skin tests for common general anesthetic drugs prior to general anesthesia in atopic patients and in patients who had drug allergies by including the data of those who had previously tolerated or reacted to general anesthesia.

Methods: A database program was constituted to collect the preoperative skin test data of patients referred to our clinic between 2013 and 2018.

A Single Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator Flap in Reconstruction of Large Midline Sacral Defects: A Method for Practical Harvest and Safe Closure.

Background: Large midline sacral defects are reconstructive challenges. Superior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP) flap provides enough tissue and versatility to cover large defects; however, a single flap may be insufficient. We present a technique to cover large defects using single SGAP flaps.

Scalp Micropigmentation Procedure: A Useful Procedure for Hair Restoration.

Medical tattooing of the skin to camouflage scars or to mimic hair or nipple/areola regions has gained popularity in Aesthetic Surgery and Dermatology clinics. The SMP procedure was used in 22 patients to correct scalp pigmentary problems between 2017 and 2020. The study included 16 men and 6 women; all female subjects had female pattern hair loss, while one of them also had alopecia areata.

Haemodynamic Response to Four Different Laryngoscopes.

Objective: In this prospective randomized study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of tracheal intubation with four different laryngoscopes [Macintosh direct laryngoscope-classic laryngoscope (CL), McCoy (MC), C-Mac video-laryngoscope (CM) and McGrath video-laryngoscope (MG)] on haemodynamic responses in patients with a normal airway.

Methods: One hundred and sixty patients were included. Succeeding haemodynamic measurements were performed immediately after intubation (T2) and for 5 min with 1-min intervals (T3-T4-T5-T6-T7).
