Öğe Bilateral thigh abscess due to rectal fistula: A rare case report with silent clinical presentation(2023) Koroglu, Muhammed; Dalda, Yasin; Ozdes, Huseyin Utku; Ozdemir, Zeynep Maras; Aslanturk, OkanA 53-year-old male patient who underwent a rectal cancer operation nine years ago was evaluated with complaints of pain and swelling in the lateral thigh. Radiological imaging revealed abscess foci in the right thigh muscles. Surgical drainage and debridement were performed but developed recurrence. Contrast-enhanced abdominal tomography was performed due to a positive medical history and it was seen that an enterocutaneous fistula was formed from the anastomosis site of previous cancer surgery to both sides of the thigh. Bilateral thigh abscesses were drained and radical debridement was performed in the same session with surgery for the fistula. Pathological examination of the surgical specimens showed no evidence of cancer and the patient was discharged on the 14th postoperative day with complete resolution of the infection. Hip abscesses are rare, delays in the diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause in cases of abscess secondary to abdominal or pelvic pathologies lead to an increase in mortality. Therefore, it should be kept in mind that thigh abscesses may be another side of the coin besides being seen as an isolated infection.Öğe Clinical results of surgical neurectomy of Morton’s neuroma(2024) Koroglu, Muhammed; Karakaplan, Mustafa; Turkmen, Ersen; Ozdes, Huseyin Utku; Acet, Omer; Ergen, Emre; Aslanturk, OkanAim: Morton’s neuroma (MN), specifically with its forefoot placement, sometimes significantly impacting patients’ quality of life. The aim of this study is to present the outcomes of neurectomy surgeries performed for MN disease. Investigating the impact of this surgery, which has a complication such as hypoesthesia, on postoperative patient satisfaction, is the targeted objective. Materials and Methods: Seventeen masses of 16 patients were studied. In patients diagnosed with MN mass through physical examination and imaging techniques, a 3 cm incision was made to excise the nerve mass either dorsally or plantar under spinal anesthesia. During routine outpatient follow-ups, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, and Coughlin’s criteria were assessed both preoperatively and postoperatively. The effects of conservative treatments such as preoperative orthoses and steroid injections on pain scores were recorded and evaluated. Recurrence of mass development and wound issues were investigated to evaluate the outcomes. Results: The mean age at the time of surgery was 46.75 years (26-58 years). The mean follow-up period was 23.12 (6-75 weeks) weeks. After surgery, excellent results were achieved in 9 patients (64.3%), and good results were obtained in 4 patients (28.6%). Recurrent mass development occurred in two patients (12.5%). Two patients (12.5%) were operated on with a plantar approach, and one patient with recurrent massbelonged to this group. Hypoesthesia was described in 15 out of 16 patients. There were significant improvements between patients’ preoperative VAS and AOFAS scores and postoperative VAS and AOFAS scores, which were statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: Numerous studies have been conducted on the diagnosis and treatment of MN disease, yet a common procedure has not been developed. Among existing treatments, excision of the mass with some healthy nerve tissue and a dorsal approach to the foot are commonly employed methods. Dorsal neurectomy surgeries demonstrate a success rate exceeding 80%. Informing patients about the possibility hypoesthesia before surgery and establishing realistic expectations can make this procedure safely applicable.Öğe Hair tourniquet syndrome of toe(Elsevier, 2023) Koroglu, Muhammed; Ozdes, Huseyin Utku; Ozbey, Rafet; Yilmaz, Ozgur; Ergen, Emre; Oklu, Yunus; Aslanturk, OkanIntroduction: Hair tourniquet syndrome (HTS) is a rare surgical emergency caused by a hair or thread wrapping around an appendage. We aimed to present our clinical experience with HTS of toes and attract physicians' attention to this rare entity.Methods: Between January 2012 and September 2022; 26 patients (25 pediatric and one adult case) were treated for HTS. All pediatric cases were treated surgically under loop magnification. The adult patient was treated nonsurgically. The patient's age, gender, affected appendage and side, duration of symptoms, and postoperative complications were recorded.Results: Thirty-six toes of 25 patients (13 boys, 11 girls, and a male adult) were included in the study. The mean age of pediatric patients was 126.6 days. The third toe was the most affected (n:16), followed by the fourth (n:8). In seven patients more than one was affected.Conclusion: HTS should be treated as soon as possible when diagnosed to prevent further complications including appendage loss.& COPY; 2023 European Foot and Ankle Society.

Identifying the underlying cause is very important for treatment. An iliacus hematoma causing nerve palsy is perhaps the most innocent etiology. However, this hematoma sometimes causes only abdominal pain and may even be misdiagnosed as a late intra-abdominal pathology. imageÖğe Letter to the editor regarding the article by Bonczar M. et al.: Evaluation of lateral epicondylopathy, posterior interosseous nerve compression, and plica syndrome as co-existing causes of chronic tennis elbow(Springer, 2023) Aslanturk, Okan; Ozdes, Huseyin Utku; Koroglu, Muhammed; Karakaplan, Mustafa; Ertem, Kadir[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Predictive factors for acute kidney injury and amputation in crush injuries from the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes(Turkish Assoc Trauma Emergency Surgery, 2024) Koroglu, Muhammed; Karakaplan, Mustafa; Barakat, Mohammed; Ergen, Emre; Aslanturk, Okan; Ozdes, Huseyin Utku; Bicakcioglu, MuratBACKGROUND: Crush syndrome (CS) is characterized by high morbidity and mortality due to severe electrolyte disorders, circulatory dysfunction, and multiple organ failure, secondary to severe rhabdomyolysis and reperfusion injuries. Acute kidney injury (AKI) related to crush syndrome is one of the life -threatening complications and is the most frequent cause of death following earthquakes, other than trauma. We conducted a retrospective study to identify predictive parameters from clinical and laboratory data that aid in recognizing CS, assessing its severity, and evaluating acute kidney injury and amputation indications in patients. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated the clinical data and laboratory follow-up of 33 patients treated for crush syndrome within the first two weeks following the February 6, 2023 earthquake. Patients who underwent surgery for crush syndrome but could not be followed post -surgery were excluded. Laboratory parameters were analyzed upon admission and then daily over an average seven-day follow-up. A p -value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 and R Studio software. RESULTS: Of the 33 patients, 17 were male and 16 were female. The incidence of AKI was 35.7%, 66.7%, and 100% in patients with injuries to one, two, and three extremities, respectively. A significant correlation was observed between total entrapment time and the duration of required dialysis days; AKI risk significantly increased with more than six hours of total entrapment time. Regarding the initial blood values upon hospital admission, a myoglobin level exceeding 2330 mg/dL demonstrated the highest sensitivity for predicting AKI. An initial uric acid level (>6.36 mg/dL) on admission had the highest specificity for predicting AKI. The initial myoglobin level (>3450 mg/dL) showed the highest sensitivity in predicting the need for amputation. Meanwhile, the mean creatine kinase (CK) level (>34800 U/L) exhibited the highest specificity but the lowest sensitivity for amputation prediction. CONCLUSION: The study analyzed the effectiveness and predictability of clinical and laboratory findings concerning amputation and acute kidney injury in crush syndrome resulting from earthquakes. Effective amputation management is a crucial factor influencing prognosis and survival in patients with earthquake -induced crush syndrome.
