To date, various types of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) have been developed for clinical use. AlloDerm is the most familiar type ADM to surgeons in breast reconstruction. It prepared by freeze-drying. CG CryoDerm first form that requires no drying process. Therefore, theoretically, it has a higher degree preservation structures than AlloDerm. We conducted this study compare course and postoperative outcomes patients who underwent direct-to-implant reconstructions using those did CryoDerm.We...

Deviation angles at 1 day, week, month, 3 months, 6 postoperatively on last visit reviewed. Surgical success...

AIM: To evaluate the prevalence, clinical features, and factors affecting onset of strabismus nystagmus in patients with bilateral congenital cataracts. METHODS: This study evaluated 116 eyes 58 who underwent lens removal for treatment cataracts between January 1999 2011. The presence type were determined before after surgery. Type final visual acuity compared without nystagmus. Patients divided into three groups (orthotropia/orthotropia, orthotropia/strabismus, strabismus/strabismus)...

Background In 2012, a new anatomic breast implant of form-stable silicone gel was introduced onto the Korean market. The intended use this is in area aesthetic surgery, and many reports are promising. Thus far, however, there have been no on for reconstruction Korea. We used surgery report our early experience. Methods From November 2012 to April 2013, Natrelle Style 410 anatomically shaped cohesive gel-filled 31 breasts 30 patients with an acellular dermal matrix. Patients were treated...

Choroidal osteoma is a benign ossified tumor that found predominantly in healthy young women during their second and third decades of life. The lesions are white-to-cream or orange color, located the peripapillary macular areas, unilateral most patients. symptoms choroidal include decreased visual acuity metamorphopsia scotoma corresponding to location osteoma, but some patients have no symptoms. Prognosis vision varies according location, retinal pigment epithelial sensory degeneration,...

Purpose To determine whether contrast sensitivity (CS) can represent photophobia in intermittent exotropia (IXT) by comparing the CS test with and without glare stimulus, to analyze factors of IXT affecting CS. Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records 107 patients basic-type IXT. compared under mesopic photopic conditions, glare. difference before after (ΔCS) between photophobia.
