PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of intraoperative antibiotic use in irrigating solutions on aqueous humor contamination during phacoemulsification surgery and to evaluate the corresponding risk of postoperative endophthalmitis. METHODS 644 eyes of 640 patients who underwent phacoemulsification surgery with foldable intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were included in this study. Preoperativ...

PURPOSE We describe a case of transient visual loss following cataract surgery with unpreserved intracameral lidocaine. METHOD A 50-year-old man with posterior polar cataract underwent phacoemulsification. Following capsulorhexis and hydrodelineation with 0.5 cc of unpreserved lidocaine 1%, a portion of fluid reached behind the crystalline lens and caused the posterior capsule rupture. Catara...

Excessive posterior translation of the residual clavicle after distal clavicle resection can be associated with significant postoperative pain. Although the acromioclavicular capsule has been identified as the primary restraint to translation of the clavicle along this axis, the individual contributions of the anterior, posterior, superior, and inferior components of the capsular ligament have ...

We report the case of a 36-year-old woman suffering from liver injury caused by the malfunction of a whipped cream siphon. When this patient handled the whipped cream siphon, the screwed metallic upper part of the siphon was suddenly dissociated from its base and came violently striking her right hypochondrium. At first, the severity of injury was underestimated. Subsequently, due to the persis...

Breast implants have been used for breast reconstruction and augmentation for the last 50 years. There are about 100,000 women in the United Kingdom with silicone implants, of which approximately 60% are for breast reconstruction following mastectomy [1]. Approximately one to two million women have undergone breast implantation in the United States [2]. The silicone Poly Implant Prothèse breast...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of implantation of a capsular tension ring (CTR) and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) after lens extraction in subluxated cataracts. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology,General Hospital of PLA, Beijing, China. DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS We selected 36 eyes in 34 patients with zonular dialysis <150°. After emulsification an...

To date a number of techniques have been used for cataract surgery. However phacoemulsification is the most common method. Other methods such as intraand extracapsular cataract extraction, mini-nuc, phacosection, sandwich and phaconit have also been used by many surgeons. Over the years, the techniques of cataract surgery have evolved into a safe and successful procedure for visual rehabilitati...

purpose: to report a case of capsular bag distension syndrome (cbds) with solid material presenting eight years after cataract surgery. case report: a 58-years-old female who underwent an uneventful clear-cornea phacoemulsification with in-the-bag intraocular lens (iol) implantation in the right eye, presented with a chief complaint of blurred vision (va: 20/200) and cobweb like matter appearin...

BACKGROUND Femoral malposition is the first cause for graft rupture during ACL reconstruction. Arthroscopic landmarks can be difficult to identify. So, landmark has to be found for reliable tunnel placement. A proximal-distal reference was described as "Apex reference" reported by Hart et al. but no posterior/anterior reference exists in the literature. The purpose of this study was to do a 3D ...
