Fibular Bone Graft for Nasal Septal Reconstruction: A Case Report.

Although various techniques have been described for treatment of severe nose deformities, these problems have high revision rates. Conventional nasal septal surgery may not be adequate for all cases. A 21-year-old male patient with nose deformity underwent a nasal surgery.

The Effect of Nasal Obstruction after Different Nasal Surgeries Using Acoustic Rhinometry and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation Scale.

Background: The efficiency of nasal surgeries can be determined by objective or subjective methods. We have assessed the effect of nasal obstruction after different nasal surgeries using Acoustic Rhinometry (AR) and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) Scale.

Methods: Between May 2011 and May 2012, 40 young adult patients and 10 healthy volunteers as control group who referred to Otorhinolaryngology Clinic in Eskisehir Military Hospital due to nasal obstruction were enrolled.

Atypical Location of a Bartholin Cyst in Adolescence.

Background: Cystic lesions associated with the blockage of Bartholin gland ducts are frequently seen, but occurrence outside the normal vestibular localization is quite rare.

Case: A 16-year-old patient presented with a localized cystic lump approximately 4 cm in size on one of her labia minora. After an excision, she was diagnosed with an atypically localized Bartholin cyst.

Freestyle Perforator-Based Fasciocutaneous Flap Reconstruction in Nicolau Syndrome-Related Tissue Necrosis.

The actual pathology of the Nicolau syndrome (NS) is still unknown. It is thought to involve direct vascular damage and vasospasm. Many NS cases were reported in the literature but a treatment protocol is still not established.

A New Reduction Mastopexy Design for Young Women: Snowman Pattern.

Background: Many young women are satisfied with their large breasts but suffer from sagging due to heaviness. In this article; we present a novel modification of vertical scar breast reduction based on a special indication.

Methods: From January 2006 to May 2012, twenty five individual patients underwent operation using modified technique with superior pedicle and vertical scar.

An analysis of 45 patients with pure nasal fractures.

Background: Nasal fracture is generally encountered alone or in combination with other serious injuries. The objective of this study was to analyze patients who had pure nasal fracture.

Methods: Forty-five records from patients with pure nasal fracture treated in the hospital between 7 October 2005 and 14 December 2011 were included.

Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangioma of the toe.

Intraosseous cavernous hemangioma is an uncommon benign vascular tumor. A 21-year-old man presented with a small painless swelling of the left foot's long toe. X-ray examination showed an outgrowing bony lesion that has cortical continuity in the tip of the long toe's distal phalanx lateral aspect.

Radial bone graft usage for nasal septal reconstruction.

Background: Although various techniques have been described for correction of crooked and saddle nose deformities, these problems are challenging with high recurrence and revision rates. Conventional septal surgery may not be adequate for nose reconstruction in crooked and saddle nose deformities.

Materials And Methods: Between December 2005 and October 2009, six patients with crooked nose and five patients with saddle nose deformities underwent corrective surgery in our clinic.

A new perforator flap from distal medial arm: a cadaveric study.

Background: In this study, a new fasciocutaneous perforator flap raised from inner medial surface of the distal medial arm has been described for soft tissue coverage.

Methods: The blood supply of this flap comes directly from the distal brachial artery. Fourteen limbs of 7 formalinized cadavers were dissected to study the origin and the course of perforator vessel.

Distally based venous flap: a new technique for the correction of syndactyly without skin graft in adult patients.

Skin grafts and local flaps are conventional methods for repairing simple syndactyly. Skin grafts usually leave unsightly appearance and contracture formation. In this study, unipedicled distally based venous flap were raised from third or fourth metacarpal area of the hand for syndactyly treatment.

Distally based venous flap for proximal phalangeal soft tissue burn defect and web space burn contracture.

Flap choices for the coverage of the proximal phalangeal soft tissue defects of the finger and web space burn contractures are limited. A unipedicled distally based venous flap was raised from the third or fourth metacarpal area of the hand for proximal phalangeal soft tissue defects of the finger and web space burn contracture. For clinical use, we operated seven male patients using this venous flap.

The crooked nose: the use of medial iliac crest bone graft as a supporting framework.

The crooked nose is one that the vertical axis of the nose inclines from the midline. As a rule, a major septal deformity almost always accompanies to impairing breathing and aesthetic appearance. To achieve total straightening of the crooked nose, the septum must become the target of the treatment.

Frontal parosteal lipoma.

Parosteal lipoma of the head and neck is very rare, and there is no reported case of parosteal lipoma in the frontal region. We present the case of frontal parosteal lipoma in a 20-year-old man who was referred for a forehead mass causing a cosmetic problem. Computed tomography revealed an osseous projection with cortical irregularity and soft tissue enlargement.

Assessment of distraction regenerate using quantitative bone scintigraphy.

In this study, we examined whether quantitative bone scintigraphy can be used to assess new bone formation following distraction osteogenesis (DO). A vertical osteotomy was performed on the right hemimandible of male Sprague-Dawley rats, and a custom-made distraction device was applied. Following the gradual distraction, rats were divided into 2 subgroups, the second and fourth week.
