To ascertain whether a new instrument that uses partial coherence interferometry technology (Intraocular Lens Master [IOLm]) or ultrasound biometry provides more accurate prediction of refractive outcomes in cataract surgery.This was retrospective medical record review 421 eyes 304 patients who underwent surgery with the IOLm and from January 3, 2002, to December 2, 2005. The mean difference between each final spherical equivalent compared. Circumstances which both technologies failed make...

Importance The loss of vision following Boston Keratoprosthesis (BKPro) surgery due to glaucoma occurs at a high frequency as diagnosis and management after this procedure pose challenges. Objective To compare visual outcomes in patients undergoing with without prior or concurrent surgery. Design, setting, participants This is retrospective, observational cohort study who underwent Type I 19 eyes 18 had undergone BKPro met the inclusion criteria were identified. Twelve received (Group 1),...

Precis: A retrospective review of 239 eyes comparing intraocular pressure (IOP), steroid needs, IOP-lowering drop and incidence glaucoma surgery between endothelial keratoplasty penetrating keratoplasties (PKP) at multiple timepoints postoperatively up to 2 years. Purpose: The purpose this study was compare postoperative IOP, use, need for PKP, Descemet membrane (DMEK) stripping automated (DSEK). Materials Methods: chart all DMEK, DSEK surgeries performed July 1, 2012 2017 the University...

We present a case series describing unique entity as it relates to plateau iris. There have been many established risk factors for iris, but we the following cases that describe patients with iris in setting of prematurity and/or retinopathy well high myopia or emmetropia. believe this be distinct form resulting from abnormal ciliary body and angle development preterm infant. Subjects were treated according standard care, laser peripheral iridotomies, iridoplasty, even glaucoma drainage...

Cotton Wool Spots (CWS) are a commonly described retinal finding in the posterior segment associated with an extensive number of systemic diseases. The appearance CWS setting glaucoma has rarely been reported and not correlated pathology to localized loss nerve fiber layer previously. In this case report, we augment previous report 18 year old female diagnosis low grade ciliary body melanoma. This patient experienced eventual mechanical angle closure appearing pole acute elevation...

Importance: Trabeculectomy is very effective in lowering intraocular pressure for the treatment of glaucoma, but it carries with possible complications and failure. The ExPress shunt (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX, USA) an adjunctive device that can be used at time trabeculectomy to create external fistuliztion. An alternative established highly efficacious technique implantation a glaucoma drainage sustained (IOP) lowering. Specifically, evidence has Baerveldt 101-350 implant (BGI)...

ABSTRACT Background: Managing choledochotomy after bile duct clearance is an ongoing debate. T-tube insertion not without complication and morbidity, requires significant post-operative care. Primary closure alone can result in a high pressure biliary system leak. The placement of ante-grade stent through the prior to primary option for ensuring drainage exploration. We reviewed our series open explorations, where was placed when managing choledochotomy. Methods: Patients who had placement,...

The authors report surgical experience and clinical outcomes up to 1 year postoperatively in patients who underwent cataract surgery with the AquaLase liquefaction device (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX). is a handpiece option for use Alcon's Infiniti Vision System that uses heated balanced saline solution micropulses liquefy lenticular material. Twenty-seven eyes of 23 extraction device. average age participants was 68 years, nuclear sclerotic grade 1.96 on 4-point scale. Outcomes were...

Abstract Background During the first wave of COVID pandemic surgical services we paralysed globally, with cancellation an estimated 28-million operations during 12 weeks. Worryingly, patient were reported to have unacceptably high peri-operative mortality, approaching 25%. However, there was urgent clinical need progress category 1 and 2 operations, prevent disease progression avoidable morbidity mortality from non-COVID pathologies. second subsequent waves it vital protect patients whilst...

Abstract Background Traditional single surgical quality indicators are commonly used however they poor for assessing global outcomes patients. Composite such as the ‘Textbook Outcome’ (TO) is a composite outcome to determine success of process, and compare between institutions patient groups, described by Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Audit Group Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). They reported national TOs PD 58.3%, we compared this in UK high volume specialist pancreas-only centre, Royal Stoke. Methods...
