    (Medical Assoc Zenicadoboj Canton, 2012) Alçelik, Aytekin; Apuhan, Tayfun; Kocoğlu, Esra; Eroğlu, Mustafa; Hakyemez, İsmail Necati; Duran, Arif
    Aim The aim of our study is to determine the microbiology of the external auditory canal and nose in uremic patients on chronic dialysis. Methods All patients undergoing regular hemodialysis for at least 3 months were included in this study. The nasal and external auditory canal swabs were collected from 83 haemodialysed patients. Results From 83 patients (37 females, 46 males) nasal and external auditory canal cultures were obtained. Mean duration on dialysis was 41.75 +/- 45 months and mean age of patients was 61 13 years. Microflora in the nasal cavities (70/80, 87.5%) and external auditory canal (48/59, 81.3%) were similar in all culture positive patients (coagulase-negative staphylococci). Coexistence of coagulase-negative staphylococci and diphteroids was detected in 20 patients' (25.0%) nasal vestibule and in eight patients' (13.5%) external auditory canal. Conclusion Microflora in the nasal cavities and external auditory canal were similar in chronic renal patients. External auditory canal microflora was not associated with history of diabetes mellitus, hepatitis status and starting date of hemodialysis in our study.

    Open Rhinoplasty: Labiocolumellar Crease Incision Results
    (Düzce Üniversitesi, 2012) Apuhan, Tayfun
    Background: Different surgical techniques and incisions have been used to obtain better scarformation in various rhinoplasty operations. We present our results of open rhinoplasty using alabiocolumellar crease incision.Material and method: Open rhinoplasty using a labiocolumellar crease incision was performedin all patients, and surgery was performed under general anesthesia. A V-shaped incision wasmade in the labiocolumellar crease and continued up along the lateral sidewalls of the skincovering the medial crura. All of the surgical techniques required to correct the differentdeformities were carried out, including tip suturing, grafting, tissue resection, and osteotomies.Results: Open rhinoplasty using a labiocolumellar crease incision was performed on 60 patients(43 female and 17 male) with a mean age of 29.3 (range, 20 to 51). All patients underwentprimary rhinoplasty. The minimum follow-up period was 12 months. No cases of circulatorycompromise of the columella occurred. All incisions healed without any tissue loss or delay.Conclusion: Open rhinoplasty with labiocolumellar incision offers a reliable alternative toaesthetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty
