To determine whether institution of a structured surgical curriculum for ophthalmology residents decreased the rate sentinel complications.Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Des Moines, Iowa, USA.A retrospective review was performed third-year ophthalmic resident quality-assurance outcomes data at single residency-training site from 1998 to 2008. The primary outcome measure defined as event; that is, posterior capsule tear (with or without vitreous loss) loss (from any cause) occurring during...
Diplopia remains a major potential complication of orbital decompression performed for thyroid eye disease. We sought to examine the effect medial and lateral wall surgery with sparing floor on incidence postoperative diplopia.Retrospective review.A retrospective review was made 63 consecutive surgeries (40 patients) between December 1996 May 2002 disease.The average patient age 50.9 years (age range, 14-83 y). The studied group predominantly female (sex ratio, 36:4). Indications were...
In Brief Purpose: To investigate the clinical features, time to diagnosis, histopathology, treatment, and mortality rates of patients with sebaceous cell carcinoma. Methods: This was a retrospective, consecutive series carcinoma at tertiary referral medical center. Between January 1984 2006, 31 were evaluated Department Ophthalmology Visual Sciences, University Iowa Hospitals Clinics. The main outcome measures presentations, treatments, reconstructive procedures, outcomes. Results:...
To demonstrate the safety and use of transcaruncular approach as a surgical technique that provides rapid exposure medial orbital wall apex through small cosmetic conjunctival incision.The anterior orbitotomy incision is made conjunctiva, between plica caruncle, with dissection to subperiorbital plane along wall. This was used in 49 patients (58 orbits) July 1995 December 2000. The patients' ages ranged from 5 89 years (mean, 50 y).The provided appropriate all cases decompression for...
To evaluate the changes in eye position and orbital content expansion following medial lateral wall decompression for thyroid-associated orbitopathy.The authors used a computer software program (syngo InSpace4D, syngo 3D, fusion, Volume Evaluation; Siemens AG, Forchheim, Germany) to measure gained by change between digitized preoperative postoperative CT scans.Twenty patients (16 women 4 men) with mean age of 45 years (range, 18-64 years) were enrolled this study. Of 20 who underwent...
Background Enophthalmos in a patient with an opacified hypoplastic maxillary sinus, without sinus symptomatology, describes the silent syndrome. A current trend is to perform endoscopic antrostomy and orbital floor reconstruction as single-staged operation. two-staged approach performed at our institution avoid placement of implant midst potential infection allow for possibility that enophthalmos global ptosis may resolve alone, obviating need reconstruction. Methods retrospective review...
Controversy exists about the optimal management of subperiosteal orbital abscesses (SPOAs) in pediatric patients. Some otolaryngologists advocate immediate surgical drainage while others recommend medical initially and reserve surgery for nonresponders. We hypothesized that patients who can be managed without have identifiable features on presentation may aid predicting their response to therapy.A retrospective chart review was performed all < or =18 years age were admitted University Iowa...

The lower lid puncta were consistently noted to be larger than those upper lids. clinically significant dry-eye patients who may need treated with plugs various sizes.
To study the utility of meibography for morphology meibomian glands in normal eyelids and various eyelid diseases.A cross-sectional study.A newly designed transilluminator, fitting both upper along with lower eyelids, an infrared camera were used to obtain video clips 60 asymptomatic subjects margin. Parameters studied included, ocular surface, Schirmer test, tear breakup time (TBUT). The patients glands' abnormality secondary infectious, inflammatory, malignant, congenital, or...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect orbicularis oculi weakness on meibomian gland morphology using infrared meibography.This a cross-sectional study. Patients were recruited from University Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Inclusion criteria required patient be at least 18 years age have unilateral facial nerve palsy. A total 32 affected eyelids 20 patients studied. aforementioned participant group examined video meibography. contralateral unaffected served as control. Eyelids...
