Öğe Distal femur morphometry: a gender and bilateral comparative study using magnetic resonance imaging(SPRINGER FRANCE, 2005) Murshed, KA; Cicekcibasi, AE; Karabacakoglu, A; Seker, M; Ziylan, TAmong the anthropometric factors to be considered, anatomic differences in the distal femur and intercondylar notch have been implicated as a cause of the different rates of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture between men and women; therefore, in this study our aim was to evaluate a number of morphometric measurements in the distal part of the femur. Two hundred knee MRI examinations were analyzed: 56 male right, 44 male left, 42 female right and 58 female left. Measurements of the intercondylar height (ICH), intercondylar width (ICW), medial condylar width (MCW), lateral condylar width (LCW) and epicondylar width (EW) were obtained. The notch shape index (NSI) was also calculated. Statistical analysis for comparisons was done by Students t-test. Correlations between the parameters studied were calculated by Pearson correlation coefficients. Significant bilateral differences were not found (p > 0.05). In all measurements, males showed significantly greater values than females (p < 0.001). No difference was seen in the NSI between males and females (p > 0.05). Conversely a significant association was obtained between age and all parameters. We conclude that the results of this study may be useful for anatomic evaluation of the distal femur region prior to orthopaedic operations.Öğe Investigation of the bifurcation level of the common carotid artery and variations of the branches of the external carotid artery in human fetuses(ELSEVIER GMBH, URBAN & FISCHER VERLAG, 2005) Zumre, O; Salbacak, A; Cicekcibasi, AE; Tuncer, I; Seker, MVariations in the position of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery (CCA) and the origin or branching pattern of the external. carotid artery (ECA) are well known and documented. In this study, the bifurcation levels of the CCA and origin variations of the branches of the ECA have been extensively investigated in human fetuses. Bilaterally, 40 carotid bifurcations and 40 ECA and their branches have been examined. A latex solution, which had been diluted with water at a ratio of 25% and colored with red India ink, was injected into the aortic arch. Fetuses were kept at room temperature for 24 h before the ECA and its branches were dissected under the microsurgery microscope. Cases of variation were determined and photographed. The bifurcation level of the CCA was determined to be 55% at the C-3 level, 35% at the C-4 level., 10% at the C-5 level on the right side and 60% at the C-3 Level., 40% at the C-4 level on left side. The distribution of the ECA trunks was determined as follows: A linguofacial trunk was present in 20% of the cases, a thyrolingual trunk in 2.5%, a thyrolinguofacial trunk in 2.5% and an occipitoauricular trunk in 12.5%. Beyond this the ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) was observed in one fetus to originate from the internal carotid artery (ICA). Knowledge of variations in the origin and course of the ECA and its branches is of great importance in surgery and radiological examinations. (c) 2005 Elsevier GmbH.

In total, 90 fetuses of spontaneous abortion (45 mates, 45 females) with no congenital malformations were included to the study. The abdominal aorta and its branches were dissected after latex solution colored with red ink had been injected into the vessels from the thoracic aorta. In all., 180 RA dissections were performed bilaterally in 90 cases and the anatomic variations were photographed. Right and left RAs were found to originate from the following levels according to the columna vertebratis, respectively: 3.8% and 1.9% tower T-12, 67.3% and 25.0% upper L-1, 9.6% and 28.8% mid L-1, 15.3% and 40.3 lower L-1, 3.8% and 3.8% upper 1/3 part of L-2 vertebra. The right RA originated from the lateral part and anterolateral wall of the abdominal aorta in 73.0% and 26.9% of cases white the lateral. and anterolateral watt origin percentages of left RA were 90.3% and 9.6%, respectively. The origin site of the right RA from the abdominal aorta was superior to, at the same level with, and inferior to that of the left RA in 53.8%, 34.6% and 11.5% of the cases, respectively. There were no variations in 75% of the cases whereas the remaining 25% had several variation patterns. The presented morphological results are as follows: A single hilar artery in 75% of the cases, double hilar arteries in 11.1%, an inferior polar artery in 10.5%, and a superior polar artery in 3.3% of specimens studied. Anatomical variations were observed more frequently among mate fetuses and on the right side. Knowledge of RA variations is important for surgeons in performing many procedures and may help to avoid clinical. complications, especially, during radiological examination and/or surgical approaches in the abdominal. region.

Study design and setting: This method was carried out on five adult cadaver sides. The MA was reached 1-2 cm inferior to the crista infratemporalis, following a frontotemporal craniotomy and a zygomatic arch osteotomy. Extradurally 2-3 cm lateral to the foramen rotundum, a hole was drilled in the sphenoid bone with a 4 mm tipped drill. A radial artery graft was passed through the hole to the inside of the dura. Before giving the infraorbital artery branch, the MA was dissected from the surrounding tissue and transected. The proximal end of the graft was anastomosed end-to-end with the MA and the distal end of the graft end-to-side with the supraclinoid ICA. Results: The mean calibre of the MA was 2.6 +/- 0.3 mm. The mean calibre of the proximal end of the radial artery graft was 2.5 +/- 0.25 mm and the distal end was 2.35 +/- 0.2 mm. The mean length of the radial artery graft was 4.0 +/- 0.5cm. Conclusion: This study suggested that the cases with ICA occlusion, which require high blood flow, may be treated as an alternative to current bypass methods requiring long vein grafts.Öğe A morphometric study and variations on the lumbar arteries of human fetuses(ELSEVIER GMBH, 2005) Seker, M; Cicekcibasi, AE; Salbacak, A; Buyukmumcu, MLumbar arteries are in series with the posterior intercostal. arteries. The aim of this study has been to investigate the morphometric data on the abdominal aorta of the human fetus and define different types of origin variations of the Lumbar artery. Initially, the latex solution colored with red ink was injected into the thoracic aorta. The abdominal. aorta and its branches were dissected and examined bilaterally in 120 fetuses (ranging between 16 and 32 post-menstrual. weeks) and the anatomic variations recorded. Fourteen fetuses with variations were studied and photographed. The origins and morphologic variations of the lumbar arteries were defined and classified. The morphological. relationship of the Lumbar arteries to the abdominal. aorta and the Length and width (diameter) of the vessels were investigated by performing measurements using a digital calliper (mm). The frequency and the types of the different variations determined in the present study have been Listed. Abdominal aortic branches and lumbar artery aneurysms are rare lesions with potentially life-threatening consequences and they are difficult to access anatomically and formidable to manage operatively. During the performance of conventional or open surgical. replacement of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with prosthetic grafts, the surgeon needs precise knowledge of the anatomy of the abdominal. aortic branches and immediate retroperitoneal. structures. The variations on the lumbar arteries may have clinical importance. When this region is under diagnostic and/or surgical investigation using computed tomography scan or diagnostic angiography, the possibility of these variations should be take into consideration to avoid complications.

Materials and Methods-The method was applied to five adult cadaver sides bilaterally. The MA was easily found 1-2 cm beneath the infratemporal crest after a frontotemporal craniotomy and a zygomatic arch osteotomy. Extradurally, 2-3 cm posterolateral to the foramen rotundum, a hole was drilled in the sphenoid bone with a 4-mm tipped drill. After sylvian fissure, the interpedincular and ambient cisternae were opened and the P2 segment of the PCA appeared. The graft was passed through the hole and dura to reach the P2 segment. Proximal to the infraorbital artery branch, the MA was freed from the surrounding tissue and transected. The proximal side of the radial artery graft was anastomosed end-to-end with the MA and the distal side was anastomosed end-to-side with the P2 segment of the PCA. Results-The average diameter of the MA proximal to the infraorbital artery branch was 2.6+/-0.3 mm. The average diameter of the P2 was 2.2+/-0.2 mm. The average length of the graft was 47+/-5.2 mm. Conclusion-As MA to proximal PCA bypass uses a short radial graft and as the calibers of the MA and PCA are >2 mm such a bypass may provide sufficient blood flow and represents a reasonable alternative to "ECA to PCA'' bypass.Öğe A rare variation of the coeliac trunk(URBAN & FISCHER VERLAG, 2005) Cicekcibasi, AE; Uysal, II; Seker, M; Tuncer, I; Buyukmumcu, M; Salbacak, AThe hepatic, splenic and left gastric arteries are considered as the "main classic branches" of the coeliac trunk. During the routine dissections in the laboratory of the Anatomy Department in a 62-year-old mate cadaver, a rare variation, a coeliacomesenteric trunk was observed. This trunk gave rise to the left gastric, the common hepatic, the splenic, the left gastro-epiploic, the right and Left inferior phrenic arteries. The developmental and clinical significance of this anomalous vessel is discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier GmbH.

Material and Methods - Five adult cadaver sides were used. Dissection required a frontotemporal craniotomy and a zygomatic arch osteotomy, with a hole being opened 2 - 3 mm lateral to the foramen rotundum extradurally. The ECA was found easily via a second incision in the cervical region. The ophthalmic segment of the ICA was exposed by removal of the anterior clinoid process intradurally. After the dura over the hole was opened, the 7 - 8-cm long bypass graft was passed just behind the mandibula and through the hole inside the dura to reach the ICA. The ECA was then transected proximal to the occipital artery (OA) branch and the distal side of the vein graft was anastomosed end-to-end with the ECA and end-to-side with the supraclinoid ICA. Results - The mean diameter of the ECA proximal to the OA was 3.75 +/- 0.4 mm ( range 3.35 - 4.15 mm) and that of the supraclinoid ICA was 3.4 +/- 0.5 mm ( range 2.9 - 3.9 mm). The mean length of the venous graft was 7.5 +/- 0.5 cm ( range 7 - 8 cm). Conclusion - When high blood flow is needed and the proximal MCA is not suitable for a bypass, the bypass described herein may be an alternative to a superficial temporal to MCA bypass as well as to extracranial carotid artery to MCA or ICA bypasses, which both need long vein grafts.Öğe Superficial temporal artery graft for bypass of the maxillary to proximal middle cerebral artery using a transantral approach: an anatomical and technical study(TAYLOR & FRANCIS AS, 2005) Arbag, H; Cicekcibasi, AE; Uysal, II; Ustun, ME; Buyukmumcu, MConclusion. Using a transantral approach, we examined a new bypass of the maxillary artery ( MA) to proximal middle cerebral artery ( MCA). The caliber of the MA was suitable to provide sufficient blood flow. The length of the graft was shorter and it had a straighter course in the new technique than in previously described techniques. Objective. To examine a new bypass of the MA to proximal MCA using a transantral approach as an alternative to other forms of anterior circulation bypass surgery. Material and methods. The method was applied to five adult cadavers bilaterally. The MA and its branches were easily found after removal of the posterior sinus wall using a transantral approach. Then, a hole was created in the sphenoid bone 5 - 6 mm lateral to the posteroinferior edge of the superior orbital fissure extradurally. After the carotid and sylvian cisternae had been opened, the M2 segment of the MCA was exposed. The MA was transected just before the origin of the descending palatine artery branch. After opening the dura over the hole, the MA was passed through the hole to reach the intracranial cavity. The proximal side of the superficial temporal artery graft was anastomosed end- to- end with the MA and the distal side was anastomosed end- to- side with the M2 segment of the MCA. Results. The mean caliber of the MA was 2.4 +/- 0.3 mm before the origin of the descending palatine artery branch. The mean caliber of the largest trunk of the M2 segment of the MCA was 2.3 +/- 0.3 mm. The average length of the graft was 24 +/- 3 mm.
