Abstract

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to test the success of telemedicine technique in the field of plastic surgery by comparing lesion diagnoses made by a teledermatologist in the Department of Dermatology with histopathologic diagnoses. Methods: In this study, 100 preliminary pictures of skin tumor patients were taken in Hitit University Faculty of Medicine, Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Clinic, and a web site and program were specially designed for this study. The obtained data were evaluated by a teledermatologist. Later, these diagnoses were compared with histopathological diagnoses and the success of the telemedicine technique in plastic surgery was investigated using Cohen Kappa statistics. Results: According to the analysis results kappa statistic was found as 0.89 (0.82-0.96) (p <0.001). In addition, the diagnostic accuracy for seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, sebase hyperplasia, melanocytic nevus, and kaposi sarcoma was found to be 100% and close to 100% in other diagnoses. Conclusion: There is limited number of studies investigating the contribution of preoperative telemedicine application to the surgery of skin tumors in the literature. We found that telesurgery was a reliable technique in the preoperative assessment of skin tumors.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Deri ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Anabilim Dalı Kliniğinde teledermatolog dermatoloji uzmanıtarafından konulan deri tümörü tanıları histopatolojik tanılarla karşılaştırılarak teletıp tekniğinin plastik cerrahialanındaki başarısının test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntemler: Araştırmada, Hitit Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Plastik Rekonstrüktif ve Estetik Cerrahi Kliniğinde, 100 deritümörü hastasının preoperatif lezyon fotoğrafları çekilerek bu çalışma için özel olarak tasarlanmış internet sitesine veprograma yüklendi. Elde edilen veriler bir teledermatolog dermatoloji uzmanı tarafından değerlendirildi. Daha sonrabu tanılar histopatolojik tanılarla karşılaştırılarak teletıp tekniğinin plastik cerrahide ki başarısı Cohen Kappa uyumistatistiği kullanılarak araştırıldı.Bulgular: Analiz sonuçlarına göre kappa istatistiği 0,89 (0,82-0,96) (p<0,001) olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca seboreikkeratoz, aktinik keratoz, sebase hiperplazi, melanositik nevus ve kaposi sarkom için tanı doğruluğunun %100, diğertanılarda ise %100’ e yakın olduğu görülmektedir.Sonuç: Literatürde teletıp kullanılarak preoperatif tanıların konulmasını araştıran telecerrahi alanında multidisiplinersınırlı sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Deri tümörlerinin cerrahisinde, telecerrahi, cerrahi öncesi hastalara tanıkoymada güvenilir bir yöntem olarak saptandı.
