Aim: This study aims to examine earthquake-related upper extremity orthopedic injuries, and in our clinic, the plastic, reconstructive, and esthetic treatment methods applied to them after the two biggest earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study and was conducted with 38 earthquake victims who were treated at the plastic, reconstructive, and esthetic surgery unit of a medical school health and research hospital in the Southeast Anatolia region of Turkey. Patient data were obtained retrospectively from electronic medical records, and descriptive statistical methods, Chi-square test, and post hoc were used for data analysis. Results: Of the earthquake victims, 55% were between 18 and 35 years old, 68% were female, 63% underwent plastic, reconstructive, and esthetic surgery due to upper extremity injuries, 50% had skin grafting, and 15% had amputation. In addition, 18.4% of the earthquake victims underwent surgery 3 times, and 13% were operated on 7 times. Conclusion: Careful attention should be paid to the treatment of upper extremity injuries that occur during major earthquakes. Delayed or inadequate interventions can result in amputation, highlighting the importance of plastic, reconstructive, and esthetic surgeons in disaster response teams. If possible, conservative treatment should be preferred for fractures in disaster environments. Amputation should always be the last treatment option for crush injuries. In cases requiring surgery, time should not be wasted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The propeller flap taken from the nasolabial flap is well suited for the medial canthal reconstruction. The propeller flap used in one-stage reconstruction is suitable for maintaining the normal concavity of the medial canthus; however, sometimes, the use of the propeller flap can lead to various complications. Aim: In this research article, we aimed to investigate the results of repairing the medial canthus defect using a propeller flap from the nasolabial fold. Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive and cross-sectional research. We performed this retrospective study with the participation of 37 patients with medial canthal defects who underwent surgical treatment at a research and training hospital in the past 3 years. Data were obtained from the electronic medical records. In patients with medial canthal defects, the results of patients reconstructed with a propeller flap taken from the nasolabial fold were observed. Results: Of the patients, 37.8% were between 65 and 74 years old, and 59.5% were male. 83.8% of the medial defects resulted from the excision of basal cell carcinoma. After repair of the medial canthal defect, venous stasis developed in 8.1% of patients and trapdoor deformity in 13.5% of patients. Patients who developed venous stasis recovered without intervention, and those with trapdoor deformity underwent surgical intervention again. Smokers had a higher risk of venous stasis, and women had a higher risk of developing trapdoor. Conclusion: Successful patient outcomes after surgery are very important in the repair of medial canthal defects. The use of the propeller flap has produced excellent results. However, it is very important to stop smoking during the perioperative process. We recommend more detailed studies in larger sample groups on the development of the trapdoor in women. We conclude that the propeller flap taken from the nasolabial fold is effective and safe in the medial canthal reconstruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to examine the perceived stress and body image in burn patients and the relationship between these two variables. This is a descriptive and cross‐sectional study. The study included total of 144 patients who had burn injuries, received treatment in a research and training hospital and were scheduled to be discharged. The data were collected prospectively by the researchers, using descriptive methods, Kruskal Wallis test, paired samples t test, and Pearson's correlation analysis. Of the patients, 59% were between the ages of 18 and 35 years, 68.1% were male, 65.3% had second‐degree burns, 77.1% had burn surfaces ranging between 10% and 20% of their body, and 54.9% had autograft surgery. The burn patients aged 51 years and over had higher perceived stress than younger patients, and the difference between them was statistically significant (P < 0.05). As the percentage of burn surface increased, the perceived stress increased, and the perceived body image weakened (P < 0.05). The burn patients with autograft surgery had lower perceived stress and higher perceived body image than those without autograft surgery, and the difference between them was statistically significant (P < 0.01). This study found an inverse relationship between perceived stress and body image in burn patients, which was affected by the percentage of burn surface and autograft surgery. Relevant interventions are suggested to increase perceived body image in burn patients and reduce their perceived stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was conducted to examine red cell distribution width (RDW) as a prognostic criterion in severe burns. The study is a descriptive correlational study and was carried out retrospectively. Patients with high RDW and low albumin values among severe burn injuries in the burn unit of a university hospital constituted half of the sample. Severe burns with RDW within normal range and a prognostic criterion for which albumin level normal and closest to normal accounted for the other half. RDW and albumin values were compared with the clinical results of patients with severe burns. IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) Statistics 25 was used for data analysis. Of the burn patients, 38.33% were between the age of 65–80, 51.67% were men, and 92.5% had third‐degree burns. The mean albumin level of the patients was 2.39 ± 0.34 g/dL, and the mean RDW level was 18.47 ± 6.15%. The length of the stay in the intensive care unit was 13.45 ± 7.83 days, and the duration of central venous catheter use was 23.41 ± 8.25 days. High RDW and low albumin values were found to be associated with death, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and more blood transfusion. High RDW and hypoalbuminemia significantly affect the clinical results of severe burns. Both parameters are effective in determining the clinical course of burn patients, the length of hospital stay, presence of catheters and medication treatment protocol. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of lockdown measures implemented due to COVID‐19 on aetiology, sociodemographic characteristics, and clinical status of burn cases. This study was carried out retrospectively at the Burn Unit of Dicle University Medical Faculty Hospital. The burn cases during the COVID‐19 outbreak were compared with those of the previous 2 years. Statistical analyses were carried out using the IBM SPSS (Statistics Package for Social Sciences) Statistics 25. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t‐test, Kolmogorov‐Smirnov test, and Shapiro‐Wilk test were used for data evaluation. Results were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and P <.05 significance level. It was determined that burn cases were reduced by half during the COVID‐19 compared to the previous 2 years. Despite the increase in the number of third‐degree burns and surgeries, it was determined that the length of hospital stay decreased by an average of two thirds. Hot liquids have been identified as the most important cause of burns in all years. New studies should be conducted in order to examine the social dimension of COVID‐19 pandemic in burn cases and to prevent these cases completely. The short hospital stay preferred by clinicians after COVID‐19 and possible problems that may arise should be investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Amaç: Flep cerrahisi sonrası flep mikrodolaşımını olumlu yönde etkilediği ileri sürülen spinal anestezinin farklı kas-deri fleplerinde mikrodolaşıma etkileri incelenecektir. Metod: Çalışmada 35 adet rat beş gruba ayrıldı.Birinci grup iskemi oluşturulmayan kontrol grubu,ikinci grup inhalasyon anetezisi altında TRAM flep kaldırılan grup, üçüncü grup spinal anestezi altında TRAM flep kaldırılan grup, dördüncü grup inhalasyon anestezisi altında gluteus maksimus kaldırılan grup, beşinci grup ise spinal anestezi altında gluteus maksimus kaldırılan grup olarak planlandı.Tüm gruplarda 0., 7.,14, ve 28. günlerde deriden O2 saturasyonu ölçüldü. Deney sonunda intrakardiyak yoldan kan alınarak tüm ratlar sakrifiye edildi. Alınan kanlarda MDA, TAS ve TOS değerleri ölçüldü. Flep dokularından histopatolojik inceleme için örnekler alındı. Alınan örneklerde ödem, konjesyon, nekroz, inflamasyon, kanama, hyalinizasyon, nükleer santralizasyon ve fibrozis alanları değerlendirildi ve parametreler çalışma sonunda bulgular (+), (++), (+++), (++++) şeklinde sınıflandırılıp dereceleme yapıldı. Bulgular istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Biyokimyasal değerlendirmede MDA değerlerinin 1-2; (p=0.002), 1-3 (;p=0.004) 1-4; (p=0.001), 2-5; (p=0.002), 3-5; (p=0.005), 4-5; (p=0.002) gruplarına anlamlı olarak farklılık gösterdiği buna göre hem spinal hem de inhalasyon anestezisi uygulanan ve TRAM flep kaldırılan gruplarda MDA düzeyleri kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak artmıştır. Gluteus maksimus flebi kaldırılan gruplarda ise sadece inhalasyon anestezisi verilen grupta MDA düzeylerinde anlamlı yükselme tesbit edilmiştir. TAS değerleri, inhalayon anestezisi uygulanarak TRAM flep kaldırılan grupta ve spinal anestezi uygulanıp gluteus maksimus flebi kaldırılan grupta ve anlamlı olarak yükselmiştir. Ayrıca kaldırılan farklı flepler arasında aynı anestezik yöntem kullanıldığı halde farklı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Şöyle ki; inhalasyon anestezisi uygulanan ve TRAM flep eleve edilen grupta TAS değerleri aynı anestezik yöntem kulanılan fakat gluteus maksimus flebi kaldırılan gruba göre anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur. Spinal anestezi uygulanan gruplarda ise gluteus maksimus flebi kaldırılan grupta TAS değerleri anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur. Bir başka anlamlı fark da 4. ve 5. gruplar arasında tesbit edilmiştir. Gluteus maksimus flebi kaldırılan ve spinal anestezi uygulanan grupta TAS değerleri aynı flep kaldırılan ve inhalasyon anestezisi uygulanan gruba göre anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur. 1-2; p=0.024, 1-5; p

Giriş: Üst ekstremite, yüksek voltajlı elektrik yanıklarından (injury) önemli oranda etkilenmektedir. Bu çalışmada yüksek voltajlı elektrik yanığının neden olduğu üst ekstremite doku defektlerinin groin flep ile onarımı tartışıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamıza Nisan 2009 – Ekim 2011 tarihleri arasında yüksek voltajlı elektrik yaralanması (>1000 V) sonrası üst ekstremite doku defekti gelişmiş 10 olgu dahil edildi. Olguların tümünde pediküllü kasık flebi ile onarım uygulandı. Hastaların tamamı erkek idi. Onarım yapılan alanlar kemik, tendon ve sinir gibi yapılarının açıkta olduğu el ve bilek bölgeleri idi. Pedikül ayrılması, yapılan pedikül bağlama testinde sorun olmadığı gözlenerek, operasyon sonrası 20-27. günlerde (ortalama 23. gün) yapıldı. Bulgular: Onarım sonrası bütün hastalarda yeterli yumuşak doku örtüsü sağlandı. Fleplerin hepsi sorunsuz iyileşti. Donör saha morbiditesi gelişmedi. Hastaların hiçbirinde ameliyata bağlı eklem sertliği gözlenmedi. İki hastada flepteki kalınlık nedeni ile operasyon sonrası 6. ay liposuction ile ciltaltı doku inceltmesi yapıldı. Sonuçlar: Üst ekstremite yüksek voltaj elektrik yaralanmaları sonucu oluşan yumuşak doku defektlerinin onarımında, lokal flep veya serbest doku aktarımının riskli veya uygulanamaz olduğu durumlarda pediküllü kasık flebinin ideal bir tedavi alternatifi olduğunu düşünmekteyiz., Background: Upper extremities are significantly affected by high-voltage electrical injuries. In this study, the repair of the upper extremity tissue defects due to high-voltage electrical injuries using groin flaps is discussed. Methods: Ten patients who developed upper extremity tissue defects following high-voltage (>1000 V) electrical injuries between April 2009 and October 2011 were enrolled in our study. All the patients underwent reconstructions with pedicled groin flaps. All the patients were male. The areas on which the reconstructions were performed were hand and wrist areas where structures like the bones, tendons and nerves are accessible. The separation of the pedicles was performed on days 20-27 (average period: 23 days) after the pedicle ligation examination revealed no problems. Result: Adequate soft tissue coverage was obtained in all patients following the reconstruction. All the flaps healed without problem. No donor area morbidity was observed. No articular rigidity related to the operation was observed in any of the patients. Conclusion: We are of the opinion that in soft tissue defects that form in the upper extremities subsequent to high-voltage electrical injuries, when local flaps or free tissue transplants are risky or inapplicable, reconstruction with pedicled groin flaps constitutes an ideal treatment alternative.

Objective: There is new information increasingly added about wound healing, which is one of the most complex physiological processes. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of plateletrich plasma on the wound healing process in pursuit of creation of skin defect on the back skin of the rat and application of graft to it. Material and Methods: The study was planned on 30 randomly selected inbred Sprague-Dawley rats. In the rats in the experimental group, 3x2 cm full-thickness skin defect was created after the back area was shaved. The skin taken from the defected area was thinned and turned into a full-thickness skin graft and sutured again to the area where it was taken. Platelet-rich plasma was applied under the graft to the rats in the 1st group, and physiological saline was applied to the 2nd group. The 3rd group did not undergo any surgical procedure, and it was created as the control group. Results: Significant differences were observed in glucose, lactate, glycerol, and pyruvate values in the tissue in Group 1, compared to other groups. In the histopathological evaluation, a significant decrease was detected in the rate of inflammation and edema in the Group 1, in comparison with the other groups. Conclusion: Based on the data obtained from this study, it was taken into consideration by us that platelet-rich plasma application is a method that can be applied in addition to the classical wound care, especially in the cases with wound healing problems. Amaç: Oldukça karmaşık fizyolojik süreçlerden biri olan yara iyileşmesi ile ilgili hâlen yeni bilgilere ulaşılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, sıçan sırt derisinde deri defekti oluşturulması ve sonrasında greft uygulamasını takiben trombositten zengin plazmanın yara iyileşme sürecine etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, randomize olarak seçilen 30 adet inbred Sprague-Dawley sıçan üzerinde planlandı. Deney grubundaki sıçanlarda, anestezi sonrası sırt bölgesi tıraşlandıktan sonra 3x2 cm boyutlu tam kat deri defekti oluşturuldu. Defekt oluşturulan alandan alınan deri inceltilerek tam kalınlıkta deri grefti hâline getirildi ve alınan yere tekrar sütüre edildi. Birinci gruptaki sıçanlara greft altına trombositten zengin plazma, 2. gruba ise serum fizyolojik uygulandı. Üçüncü gruba ise herhangi bir cerrahi işlem uygulanmadı ve kontrol grup olarak oluşturuldu. Bulgular: Mikrodiyaliz verileri karşılaştırıldığında Grup 1’de, diğer gruplara kıyasla dokudaki glukoz, laktat, gliserol ve pirüvat değerlerinde anlamlı farklar saptandı. Histopatolojik değerlendirmede ise Grup 1’de, diğer gruplara kıyasla inflamasyon ve ödem oranında belirgin azalma saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmadan elde edilen verilere dayanarak, trombositten zengin plazma uygulamasının, özellikle yara iyileşme problemi bulunan durumlarda, klasik yara bakımına ek olarak uygulanabilecek bir yöntem olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.

- Abstract
Background: Shock index (SI) is the ratio of heart rate (HR) to systolic blood pressure (SBP); modified SI (MSI) is the ratio of HR to mean arterial pressure; age SI (ASI) is age multiplied by SI; reverse SI (rSI) is the ratio of SBP to HR; and rSIG is rSI multiplied by Glasgow Coma Scale Score (rSIG). Studies have proven that shock indices are good tools in predicting mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of the shock indices SI, MSI, ASI, rSI, and rSIG in predicting mortality in burn patients., Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. The vital signs of the patients were recorded and their shock indices were calculated at the time of emergency department admission. The effectiveness of the shock indices SI, MSI, ASI, rSI, and rSIG in predict-ing mortality was compared in the burn patients included in the study RESULTS: A total of 913 patients were enrolled. rSIG and MSI were the shock indices with the highest area under the curve (AUC) values in predicting mortality in the burn patients. The AUC values of rSIG and MSI were 0.829 (95% CI: 0.739-0.919, P<0.001) and 0.740 (95% CI: 0.643-0.838, P<0.001), respectively., Conclusion: Vital signs are easily recorded and shock indices are easily calculated at the time of admission of burn patients to the emergency department; they also effectively predict mortality. rSIG and MSI are the best mortality predictors among the shock indices examined in this study.
