A Forgotten Disease "leprae" and Limb Lesions
(Medknow Publications & Media Pvt Ltd, 2016) Oksuz, Mustafa; Kocak, Omer Faruk; Yuce, Serdar; Topkara, Adem; Sultanoglu, Yilmaz
Leprae, which is a forgotten infectious disease, presents with primary findings of skin lesions and peripheral nerve lesions. Neuropathic ulcers are frequently found and may cause deformities, particularly in the extremities. It should not be forgotten that malignant tumors seen on the floor of chronic ulcers can also be seen on the floor of neuropathic ulcers depending on leprae. In our study, a 61-year-old male patient with an ulcerated and unhealed lesion in the volar surface of the second finger of his right hand that existed for approximately 6 months is presented. Although leprae is not common these days, early defect repairs will prevent osteomyelitis and sequelae of amputation, depending on the malignancy in these patients.

(Turkish Assoc Trauma Emergency Surgery, 2018) Oksuz, Mustafa; Deliaga, Hasan; Topkara, Adem; Kocak, Omer Faruk
Genital and perineal burns are rare and challenging injuries with serious long-term complications. Involvement of the testes is a sign of severity. There is limited knowledge in the literature about the management of complications and testes involvement in genital and perineal burns. In this report, we present the case of an 8-year-old boy with secondary cryptorchidism due to burn contracture who was treated by increasing the scrotal volume by Z-plasties, skin graft, and orchidopexy.
Unutulan Bir Hastalık \"lepra\" ve Ekstremite Lezyonları
(2016) Sultanoğlu, Yılmaz; Topkara, Adem; Yüce, Serdar; Koçak, Ömer Faruk; Öksüz, Mustafa
Unutulan bir enfeksiyöz hastalık olan Lepra; primer olarak periferik sinir ve deri lezyonlarıyla bulgu vermektedir. Nöropatik ülserler sıklıkla izlenmekte ve özellikle ekstremitelerde deformitelere neden olabilmektedir. Kronik ülser zemininde görülebilen malign tümörlerin Lepraya bağlı oluşan nöropatik ülser zemininde de görülebileceği unutulmamalıdır. Çalışmamızda, sağ el ikinci parmak volar yüzde yaklaşık altı aydır mevcut olan ve iyileşmeyen, ülsere lezyon nedeniyle başvuran 61 yaşında lepralı erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Lepra ile günümüzde sık karşılaşılmamasına rağmen, erken defekt onarımları bu hastalarda osteomyelit ve maligniteye bağlı amputasyon sekellerinin önüne geçilmesini sağlayacaktır
