Notability and Scientific contributions
Mentioned in many independent newspapers and cited by fellow scientists for his published Research on the "Mosquito repelling properties of human facial sebum". He is quoted as saying this finding has potential for industrial and commercial development [1][2][3]
Established a health and disease-based economic index (extremepovertywatch.com). Dr Bayo Aluko-Olokun is credited with the proposal for using Noma 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[4][5].
Dr. Aluko-Olokun has worked extensively in the field of viruses with notable effects in the head and neck region, such as HIV and mumps[6]
Between 2001 and 2007, Dr Aluko-Olokun was the beneficiary of an exclusive and complete residency training programme under no less a personality than Prof Ademola Abayomi Olaitan, a Past President of National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, who instilled in him the values of total commitment to a universal approach to solving problems with a surgical mind. This apprenticeship in facial surgery gave birth to the easily mastered, first zero-excision approach to repair of facial cleft known to the surgical world. The approach to cleft lip repair, popularly known as the Olokun - Olaitan Approach, provides possibilities of unlimited revision surgeries due to its tissue-conserving principle; it is renowned for its simplicity, and reduction of blood loss during operation by more than 70%, while also obviating the need for any hospital admission.[7]
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.
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.)[8].
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.[9]
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)[10]
Dr Bayo Aluko-Olokun has worked extensively in the field of viruses with notable effects in the head and neck region, such as HIV and mumps.[11]
