    Reconstruction of extensive scalp defects with anterolateral thigh flap
    (TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2018-01-01) Altinkaya, Altug; Yazar, Sukru; Saglam, Ibrahim; Gideroglu, Kaan
    BACKGROUND: Extensive scalp defects caused by various etiologies often require free-tissue transfer. We aimed to review our experience in the reconstruction of extensive scalp defects with free anterolateral flaps. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients with extensive scalp defects that were reconstructed with free anterolateral thigh flaps from November 2007 to April 2015. Eleven patients with a mean age of 44 years were included in this study. RESULTS: Eleven free-tissue transfers were used to reconstruct the extensive scalp defects. The flaps were 7-14 cm in width and 10-34 cm in length. CONCLUSION: Microvascular free-tissue transfer is the mainstay for the treatment of extensive scalp defects. We recommend anterolateral thigh free flap use for challenging and complex cases, given the method's numerous advantages, including reliability and safety.

    Detection and Localization of a Nonpalpable Subdermal Contraceptive Implant Using Ultrasonography: A Case Report
    (ELSEVIER SINGAPORE PTE LTD, 2012-01-01) Gurel, Kamil; Gideroglu, Kaan; Topcuoglu, Ata; Gurel, Safiye; Saglam, Ibrahim; Yazar, Sukru
    Subdermal contraceptive implants should be removed after the maximum duration of action or whenever desired. In some circumstances, such as improper insertion, migration, or fibrosis of the implant, the implant might become nonpalpable and the use of imaging techniques are required to localize and remove it. Ultrasonography with high-frequency transducers is recommended as the first-line method for localization. In this report, the ultrasonographic findings of a nonpalpable implant and the results of ultrasonography-guided skin localization are described.
