    The aims of the cleft palate repair techniques are to reduce the velopharyngeal insufficiency risk and oronasal fistula development to minimal levels without affecting the maxillofacial development. In this article, we present a retrospective study comparing the conventional palatoplasty techniques with the new technique of rotation palatoplasty for the risk of development of oronasal fistula. Materials and Methods: Of the 100 patients who were operated on because of cleft palate between the years 2002 and 2008, 12 patients had Furlow palatoplasty, and 88 patients received the Veau-Wardill-Kilner (V-Y pushback) operation (group C). A total of 67 patients who were operated on between 2008 and 2011 had rotation palatoplasty (group R). Results: One hundred patients were men, and 67 were women. Among all the patient groups, 22.8% were classified as Veau 1, 24.6% were classified as Veau 2, 37.1% were classified as Veau 3, and 15.6% were classified as Veau 4. The rate of fistula was found to be 17.7% in all patients. Fistula development was found in 6% of the patients in group R (4/67) and in 18% of the patients in group C (18/100). The difference between group R and group C regarding the number of patients who developed fistula was statistically significant (P = 0.011). Conclusions: The Veau classification of the cleft palate affects the risk of fistula development, and the risk for fistula after rotation palatoplasty is lower than that associated with the V-Y pushback technique.

    Congenital Lateral Cleft Palate of Unknown Etiology
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015) Kahraman, Ahmet; Yuce, Serdar; Kocak, Omer Faruk; Canbaz, Yasin; Isik, Daghan
    The term cleft palate (CP) refers to midline defects extending from the prealveolar ark to the uvula, and these defects present with varying degrees. CP may be complete, incomplete, unilateral, bilateral, or submucosal. It is often observed with cleft lip (CL). In various studies, the incidence of isolated CP has been reported as 1.3 to 25.3 per 1000 births. 1,2 As a result of deterioration of the anatomical structure of the palate, illnesses such as regurgitation, respiratory tract infections, otitis, and speech disorders may occur. These defects are often observed in the midline and are rarely laterally localized. Cleft palates with lateral localization are outside the natural midline cleft closure line and cause clinical complaints similar to other types of CP. Two cases of laterally localized CP have previously been published in the literature. 3,4 The case presented here is the third known case to be reported.

    Groin Flap Experience in the Reconstruction of Soft Tissue Defects of the Hand
    (Medknow Publications & Media Pvt Ltd, 2016) Yuce, Serdar; Oksuz, Mustafa; Ersoz, Muhammet Eren; Kocak, Omer Faruk; Kahraman, Ahmet; Isik, Daghan; Atik, Bekir
    Objective: Pediculated groin flap has been playing an important role in hand reconstructive surgery for a long time. In this study, the cases where pediculated groin flap in the reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the hand was used are presented in terms of literature. Material and Methods: The cases included in the study where a groin flap was used for hand defects between 2010 and 2014 in the Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery Department. The age, gender, reason of defect, its localization, groin flap size, donor area closure method, flap separation time, other treatments, and complications were thoroughly examined. Results: Twenty-two groin flaps were used in 13 male and 7 females. It was used to close the amputated part in 8 patients as a result of finger amputation and degloving injury, in 3 patients as a result of hand and finger crush defect, in 1 patient as a result of burn finger defect, in 5 patients for extension contracture, and in 3 patients for flexion contracture due to burn sequel. Flap loss was not recorded in any of the cases. Conclusion: Pediculated groin flap is a good alternative that can be easily and safely used in suitable cases and has an important place in the reconstruction of hand defects.
