Incidence of mandibular fractures in black sea region of Turkey
2015
Background: The aim of this study is to review the incidence of mandibular fractures in the Black Sea Region of Turkey and to present our treatment protocol. Material and Methods: Data were collected regarding age, sex, etiology, time distribution, site of the fracture and the associated injuries and evaluated. These patients were treated at Ondokuz Mayıs University Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery between 2003 and 2010. Data were collected from patient files in the archive and were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 software. Results: A total of 82 patients with 133 mandibular fractures were included in this study. After the follow up period of the patients, the results were achi…
Complications in the use of the mandibular body, ramus and symphysis as donor sites in bone graft surgery: a systematic review
2015
Background To develop a systematic review by assessing and comparing the different complications that occurs in bone graft surgery using the mandibular body, ramus and symphysis as donor sites. Material and Methods In order to respond to the following question, a systematic review was developed: does the use of intraoral mandibular body and ramus as donor sites in bone graft surgery, produce fewer and less severe complications in comparison to the use of the mandibular symphysis in patients that present bone resorption that needs augmentation using autologous grafts? The review was carried out between January 1990 and 2015, during which only clinical essays with a minimum follow-up period o…
The Vascular Anatomy of the Inner Anterior Abdominal Wall with Special Reference to the Transversus and Rectus Abdominis Musculoperitoneal (TRAMP) Co…
1997
This study was designed to clarify the vascularization of the inner anterior abdominal wall with respect to the novel transversus and rectus abdominis musculoperitoneal (TRAMP) flap, which was introduced recently for vaginal reconstruction. A series of human cadavers was injected with a lead oxide-gelatine mixture by means of the deep inferior epigastric artery and subsequently dissected and examined by radiography. In all cases we found that the blood supply of the entire rectus abdominis muscle from the symphysis to the costal arch and that of the medial 10 to 15 cm of the transversus abdominis muscle, as well as the underlying peritoneum, was provided by several branches of the deep infe…

Detection of Subpubic Tumor Causing Bladder Outlet Obstruction by 3D Perineal Ultrasound
2015
This case report shows that 3D perineal ultrasound can be superior to clinical examination and routine 2D perineal ultrasound in the detection of an unusual subpubic tumor. A 73-year-old female patient was referred to our urogynecological outpatient unit complaining of over-active bladder symptoms and voiding dysfunction for 3 years. Gynecological examination found no signs of pelvic organ prolapse or abnormality in the vaginal cavity. Routine 2D perineal ultrasound showed substantial residual urine (ca. 300 ml on catheter) and limited bladder neck mobility, but no signs of pelvic organ prolapse. Use of standardized 3D perineal ultrasound revealed a 24 × 26 × 32 mm spherical, hypoechoic tum…
Is x-ray compulsory in pubic symphysis diastasis diagnosis?
2013
SirWe read with great interest your case of postpartum symphy-sis pubis separation (1). We would like to present a case ofpubic symphysis diastasis that we diagnosed with a differentapproach.A 36-year-old gravida 1 para 0 at 39.6 weeks’ gestation wasadmitted with the onset of spontaneous contraction. After threehours and 18 min she delivered a 3170 g baby without compli-cations.Three hours after delivery, she complained of severe pain inthe symphysis pubic region. On examination, there was localtenderness in that region. We performed an ultrasound exami-nation, which revealed a 15.2-mm gap in the region of the sym-physis pubis (Figure 1), diagnosed as pubic symphysis diastasis.She was given…
Anatomical basis for the interposition of a gastric pouch between the ileum and the anus after total proctocolectomy.
2003
After a total proctocolectomy, ileoanal continuity is achieved by an ileal pouch–anal anastomosis. This anastomosis is not possible when the ileum cannot reach the anus. To avoid definitive ileostomy in this circumstance, we devised a gastric pouch, taken from the left half of the vertical portion of the stomach, vascularized by the right gastroepiploic pedicle, then interposed it between the ileum and the anus. The aim of this anatomical study on seven cadavers was to estimate the capacity of this gastric pouch to reach the anus. The distance between the caudal edge of the pubic symphysis and the apex of the pouch was measured. It is accepted that an ileal pouch always reaches the anus wit…
