Dr Bayo Aluko-Olokun is credited with the proposal for usingNoma disease (cancrum oris) as an economic index to measure extreme poverty. This index accurately reflects the well-being of a community and its economic status.
He is the first scientist to establish that human facial sebum repels mosquitoes. This finding has potential for industrial and commercial development (ref. Bayo Aluko-Olokun (2017). The Face of Noma and Extreme Poverty: Development of an Economic Index Derivable from Health Data. Journal of Craniofacial Surgery: 28(5): 1342-1344. Doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000003707
) He also found that skin tissues in direct contact with cartilage produce insect-repelling sebum, which helps explain the previously unexplained 'idiopathic cervico-facial abscess' caused by mosquito bites responsible for malaria in children not old enough to produce nasal sebum. [Ref. Bayo ALUKO-OLOKUN, Ademola Abayomi OLAITAN, Mayowa Oluwatosin ALADE, Oluwatosin Beatrice ALUKO-OLOKUN (2017). Idiopathic cervicofacial abscess among children in the tropics: what level of association with mosquito bite? International medical journal (Japan): 24(4): 356-358]
In the field of mandibular reconstruction, this surgeon successfully used absorbable and affordable polyglactin sutures instead of mini-plates for fixation, marking a significant advancement. (ref.).
He also described a fast and simple stitch-and-stab technique for cyst decompression, known as the "Aluko technique". (ref). This technique replaces more complex and recurrence-prone procedures.
Dr. Bayo Aluko-Olokun is recognized for pioneering collaborative research works in Maxillofacial Surgery, which have had positive impact in other specialties and fields such as paediatrics, dermatology, gynaecology, hydrology and economics.
In unilateral cleft lip repair, he introduced the only zero-excisionsurgical approach, which conserves tissue and allows for unlimited revision surgeries. (ref. Olokun-Olaitan Approach)
He developed a surgical knotting technique with positive prognostic qualities for cleft palate repair, reducing surgical failures and surgeon fatigue (ref. Olaitan 3-2-1 knot).
His series of studies on facial keloids demonstrated that the morphology of keloids (sessile or pedunculated) determines treatment outcomes, challenging the previously held belief that treatment results were completely unpredictable. (ref).
He determined the maximum effective volume of drug per lesion, and optimal injection interval for treatment of keloid using steroids (ref.).
He demonstrated an innovative method using low-cost plaster-stone casts was utilized to accurately monitor keloid shrinkage and show treatment progress to patients. This eliminated the need for expensive alternatives like spectrophotometry (ref.).
The use of metal syringes with specific gauges by Aluko-Olokun allowed for almost painless steroid injections into keloids, reducing splatter and severe pain usually associated with treatment of keloids. (ref.). Aluko-Olokun also established the reliability of Biological Effective Dose of radiation in predicting keloid recurrence.
In the course of his research, the Maxillofacial surgeon discovered correlations between global and African albinism prevalence and HIV burden. He documented from his findings that albinism does hinder access to free anti-retroviral treatment.
In radiation medicine, he confirmed that human hair provides protection against solar radiation injuries in albinos. Additionally, he has highlighted the importance of avoiding radiotherapy for skin cancers involving the cranium. Further, the limitations of current nuclear bone scan techniques in detecting bone metastasis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma has been credited to him as the pioneer scientist to make this discovery.
