Asymmetrical Nonscalp Aplasia Cutis Congenita: a Case Report
(Wiley, 2004) Atik, B; Tan, O; Bayram, I; Tuncer, O; Kirimi, E
Aplasia cutis congenita or congenital absence of the skin is a rare and serious congenital disease; its etiopathogenesis remains unclear. In this condition, localized or widespread areas of skin are absent at birth. A newborn suffering from an unusual aplasia cutis congenita located asymmetrically on the nonscalp, without blistering, was presented. This patient was completely healed with conservative treatment.
Bilobed Fasciocutaneous Flap Closure of Large Meningomyeloceles
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006) Atik, B; Tan, O; Kiymaz, N; Yilmaz, N; Tekes, L
Background: Closure of large meningomyelocele defects presents a challenging problem. In this paper, the procedure and outcome of bilobed fasciocutaneous flap closure of large meningomyeloceles have been discussed. Materials and Methods: Bilobed fasciocutaneous flap was used in 20 patients with large meningomyelocele defects, the largest of which was 77 cm(2). A fasciocutaneous dissection was performed and the defect area was covered by tension-free closure. Results: In the follow-up period of 6 weeks, partial flap loss in a patient and cerebrospinal fluid leak inferior to the flap in another 2 were observed. These patients recovered by dressing without flap loss. Conclusions: Utilization of bilobed flaps for closure of large meningomyelocele defects seems to be an effective and reliable procedure, with advantages of decreased operative time, minimal bleeding, the suture lines for dura and flap not superimposed, and low morbidity.
Melanotic Neuroectodermal Tumor in a Newborn
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2005) Tan, O; Atik, B; Ugras, S
Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is an uncommon, fast-growing, pigmented neoplasm of neural crest origin; it primarily affects the maxilla of the infants during the first year of life. Approximately 200 instances of this tumor are reported in the medical literature. We present a case of newborn with MNTI on the left maxillary alveolar ridge. The patient underwent complete surgical resection without maxillectomy. There has been no recurrence in a follow-up period of 1 year. The diagnostic features and management alternatives of MNTI are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
Modifications of the Inverted T-Shaped Silicone Implant for Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis
(Churchill Livingstone, 2004) Karaca, C; Barutcu, A; Baytekin, C; Yilmaz, M; Menderes, A; Tan, O
Purpose: Inverted T-shaped silicone implants have been used for reconstruction of ankylosed temporomandibular joints for 10 years. As the implant is custom made during the operation, dimensional adjustments according to individual need are routine. Material and method: A new modification to increase the stability of the inverted T-shaped silicone implant is presented. The modification consists of a middle process on the long arm of the T-shaped silicone implant, the first of which was inserted into, the medullary cavity of the mandibular ramus. This modification further stabilizes the implant position and helps prevent its displacement. The modification was used on difficult cases such as bilateral ankylosis, osteotomies below the condylar notch or incompliant patients. This modification was used in six patients. Results: No dislocation, nor extrusion of the implant or re-ankylosis of TMJ was observed. (C) 2004 European Association for Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery.

Plastic Surgical Solutions for Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome - Facial Liposuction and Cheiloplasty Procedures
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006) Tan, O; Atik, B; Calka, O
Objective: Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome (MRS) is a rare granulomatous disease characterized by a triad, including orofacial swelling, facial palsy and lingua plicata with usually recurrent or progressive course. Orofacial swelling, the most often sign of MRS, leads to the both esthetic and functional deformities. Because of its unknown etiology, a rational treatment is difficult and management of MRS still remains symptomatic, aiming at to remove orofacial swelling mainly. Although the many nonsurgical therapies have been mentioned in the literature, none has been proved uniformly and predictably successful to date. In this paper, we present different surgical procedures and their outcomes in a series of 4 cases with MRS. The procedures including mucosa, submucosa and tangential muscle resection, crescent shaped commissuroplasty, and facial liposuction may be considered in surgical armamentarium when orofacial swelling becomes persistent. We think that the plastic surgeons may act more effectively in the management of the syndrome in the future.

Supercharged Reverse-Flow Sural Flap: a New Modification Increasing the Reliability of the Flap
(Wiley, 2005) Tan, O; Atik, B; Bekerecioglu, M
The management of soft-tissue defects in the lower third of the leg and foot presents a considerable problem because of composite tissue defects, inadequate and tight local tissue for reconstruction, and poor circulation. Although the reverse sural flap is frequently preferred and is fairly reliable, some complications arising from the circulation may be encountered in large flaps or in diabetic patients. In the present study, we developed a new modification by supercharging the sural flap to reduce venous congestion and edema and to increase the reliability of the flap. We treated 3 patients (2 men and 1 woman) by utilizing a supercharged reverse sural flap. All flaps survived and healed uneventfully. We also suggest a new and more distinctive classification for supercharging and turbocharging, which defines the vessel type to be anastomosed and the relationship of the vessel to be anastomosed with the main vessel to the flap.

Versatile Use of the Vm-Plasty for Reconstruction of the Web Space
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005) Tan, O; Atik, B; Ergen, D
The loss of web space may be congenital or acquired Although local skin flaps are usually preferred, recurrence rate is fairly high. In this study, we used the VM-plasty as a versatile technique to create a web space and expanded its applications. Thirteen patients (7 males and 6 females) with 22 syndactylous webs were operated on using this technique. The web contractures were developed on scarred tissues in 9 patients, whereas only 4 cases presented with primary congenital syndactylies. The skin graft was not used in any of the patients. All the patients gained web functions with a good esthetic appearance without any recurrence. The technique is fairly versatile and can be used both in the hand and foot for congenital complete or incomplete syndactylies and acquired web space contractures. So, we advise the VM-plasty both in primary and recurrent cases with web space loss.
