An Alternative Method for the Treatment of Osteoid Osteoma
(Professional Medical Publications, 2011) Guner, Savas; Ceylan, M. Fethi; Guner, S. Ilkay; Kalender, Ali Murat; Sahan, Mehmet Hamdi
Osteoid osteoma is a small, self-limiting osteogenic tumor. The success of the treatment depends on complete resection or destruction of the nidus. Open excision or en bloc excision was the classical treatment of osteoid osteoma before the development of minimally invasive percutaneous methods. Computed tomography guidance is required in the operating room in most of the percutaneous procedures. This enables accurate localization of the tumor and tumor excision can be performed with less bone tissue resection. We performed an alternative treatment that enables surgeons working in clinics where this equipment does not exist, to perform easy resection of the tumor through a mini incision. Mini incisional surgery seems to be an efficient and reliable treatment for osteoid osteoma.
A Case of Wooden Foreign Body Retained in the Calcaneus
(Professional Medical Publications, 2011) Guner, Savas; Ceylan, M. Fethi; Isik, Daghan; Guner, S. Ilkay; Ediz, Levent
Detection of wooden foreign bodies in the extremities still remains a problem despite the developments in imaging methods. Direct X-Rays, ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are utilized for detection of foreign bodies in the body. In this report, we have presented a case in which no findings suggestive of a foreign body were detected on ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, and which underwent a surgical intervention with the prediagnosis of osteomyelitis of the calcaneus.
Compartment Syndrome Due To Extravasation of Iodixanol Contrast Medium: Case Report
(Ortadogu Ad Pres & Publ Co, 2012) Guner, Savas; Ceylan, M. Fethi; Avcu, Serhat; Guner, S. Ilkay; Dogan, Ali
Compartment syndrome due to extravasation of contrast medium is quite rare. The content of the contrast medium, the osmolarity, the ionic/non-ionic structure and the amount of extravasated medium are important factors in the pathogenesis of extravasation injury. Many extravasations are of small volumes causing minimal swelling and erythema. Extravasations of large volumes are important in the development of compartment syndrome due to the non-ionic contrast medium. Early diagnosis is very important in the contrast medium extravasations and conservative treatment is effective in most of the patients. If compartment syndrome develops after extravasation, emergency fasciotomy should be performed immediately. To the best of our knowledge, compartment syndrome due to extravasation of a non-ionic contrast medium, iodixanol, has not previously been reported in the English literature. In this article, a case of extravasation and compartment syndrome due to the administration of iodixanol for thoracic tomography and its treatment was first reported.
